Ouch! That X-Ray hurts to look at.

Sorry for the bad luck. :(

Skateboarding! Tried a 360 flip & ate it

Wow, that blows. Good luck recovering man.

How did you do that?

Second this!

Gonna be out of commission for the next few months guys, broke my ulna and radius. Two plates & 13 screws later and I'm back in action, well kinda lol

Awesome build mate, I just read the whole thing. I like the turbo set up, doesn't seem too complicated. I'd like to do something like that. Would you recommend it? Recommend starting with the second larger turbo?

I dig the rust, its unique. I liked the green accents too, especially the valve cover, kinda sad to see it go.

I like it! A little cleaner than my engine bay right now... that thing is slowly becoming a bigger and bigger mess with every problem I have

Can you explain this belina tight thing to me? I must've missed it!

It's something my friends tell me to help me remember to check my torque specs after a few mishaps It was taken far enough where stickers were made and Jay gave me this at the track


And here's what I'm trying to do with the engine bay. Black krinkle & chrome, but I still need to touch up a lot of things. Just posting my progress so far:p

Read through this thread a while back and forgot to comment, this is probably one of my favorite e30's here, its got personality and it actually is well taken care of!

I have to say..this is probably the best thread i've sat and read start to..uhm finish? obviously not for you dude:o but if you could would you mind throwing a $number for that first boost setup?? looked badass for what it was and more respect for piecing it all together!

Thanks bud I'd say after looking at my spread sheet I spent ~350. Some things I got for free, like the intercooler piping. Other things like the m30 AFM, I traded for(a Condor T-shirt).

I'll have to measure mine. Interested in selling the o-ring?

I actually don't have it anymore. I sold my old turbo

Recently drove to Tallahassee & back, no problems! I need to replace the passenger rear drive axel though, it's very loud at high speeds :p But everything else is holding up great! 12 psi running strong :D The water cooling helps whenever I'm moving, but in bumper to bumper traffic the temp gauge begins to creep towards the 1/2 mark. I think the clutch may be starting to go too, but only because of the high mileage it has on it. It isn't slipping, but it chatters sometimes if I'm not 100% on with r3v matching gears.

My passenger rear wheel needed a new valve stem because it was leaking 10-15 psi a day so I got that sorted today at a local tire shop. Also took the chance to take a few pictures.

Approximately 5" in diameter I'd say, maybe a tad smaller.
