Got a few small things done today. I got the electronics switched over from my m20 AFM to my m30 AFM. Then I gave it a quick clean.
Also got my diff out put shaft flanges cleaned up with some new seals.

Getting some parts in from Blunt soon. Should be ordering all the rest of my exhaust stuff in a few weeks. Then I need to get my fly wheel lightened, get a short shift kit, cluch slave, painless wiring kit, and then I'll have all my parts!!!

Shoulda told me you needed a clutch slave, just packaged the E30 for pick n pull tomorrow. Call my dad and see if you can grab it in time before work.

Some more random parts. I also sent my 19# injectors out to OKinjectors to get cleaned and re-manufactured.
Got my vacuum hoses in.

And the bearings I need to finish the diff, with some exhaust studs from Mr. Blunt.

Ordered all my stainless tubing, band clamps, glass pack, and y-pipe today! It should all be here by the 15th which is my Bday! Im excited!

Wow Summit is insanely fast here in Cali! I ordered my parts a few minutes before the post at 4:10pm, and I just got an email this morning that the parts are out for delivery already!

[deutschman]

4x 2.5" exhaust band clamps, 1x exhaust welding band clamp, 1x Y-pipe (2"in 2.5" out), 1x Cherry Bomb glass pack (for resonator).
Just waiting on my 2.5" mandrel bent stainless tubing kit from mandrel-bends.com.

Sadly I ordered lap joint clamps. I should have gotten but joint clamps. Good thing they are only $7 each!

Got some stuff done today.
I scored a Milwaukee Metal Chop Saw off C-list last night for $45 for my exhaust and other welding projects. I am super stoked on it! I am also getting a Hobart 140 from my girl for Xmas.


I still want to find a small counter top bench press, and a bench vise.
I also finished the diff today.
I got the old worn bearing seats cut out.

And the new ones installed.

Then I just threw everything together.

And now I have a limited slip 3.64:1 early e21 diff (using the LS mechanism from an e30 small case 4.10 diff). I will need 8mm bolts but no spacers for this diff to bolt into my car!

Oooooh! 2.5" stainless steel exhaust tubing!
http://www.mandrel-bends.com/catalog...FQZbhwodg0uJqQ good prices!

Got my injectors back from Okinjectors. I am happy about the flow rate increase.
Okinjectors is great as well! They are part of the same company as High Performance Store Inc. (silicone hoses provider). They were very fast returning all my emails and phone calls, and refunded me my money very quickly when I accidentally payed them twice with Paypal (F**K PAYPAL!). Very happy with them and their work!
These are 19lb injectors. It was $139 for six injectors with new seals, o-rings, and pintle caps. They come with a one year warranty as well.

I am having some bad "project butterflies!"
I keep thinking "what if the engine does not turn over?" and "what if it does start, but eats its self up from the inside?" God I am nervous!!!!!!!

[frankenbeemer]

I love this thread, now I've got butterflies too. Keeping my fingers crossed.

[deutschman]

So it's oficial. I will be taking the month o April off to install the motor and all the other parts. I talked to my Chef (I'm a cook) at work today and he is going to hire me as a Sue Chef after December with a pay rase! I am so stoked!
That gives me 4 more months to collect parts for the car!
I am thinking of buying a Kirk weld in roll cage.

Congrats on the job upgrade(?)! Really glad to see this project is still going strong and is drawing to a close!

Congrats on the job upgrade. I thought it was "sous" , though?

Deutschman is a cross-dresser?
