Well summarized i basically slid out in the rain and hit a tree right on the side off the road very unfortunate.

But good news went down to bimmerfest and my car did great, I have a few more little matinence things to do such as fuel lines, power steering hose and then its onto suspension work.
I have a pretty low budget so i think im going to go with h&r sports and some bilstein sports.

oh yeah i also removed my driveshaft from my convertible since its basically brand new and am swapping that in.


I also removed my trunk tar
Before


2 hours later and 45 pounds of trunk tar!! i know its not 100% off but good enough for now cause that last bit was a pain in the ass.

Heat gun... much faster.

yeah i figured there was an easier way, anyways it wasnt all that hard with a hammer and chisel.

I havent been documenting very much but since my last update i have installed the new driveshaft, short shifter, throttle body, fuel filter, fuel lines and antenna plug. I still have a small oil leak and cand find where its coming from as well as power steering leak and have a feeling im going to be needing to replace the steering rack soon. Even after instaling a new throttle body and icv my idle is still acting strange.

I also got bilstien sports and h&r sports which will hopefully be installed by the end of the weekend

and sorry for the shitty cell phone pics

Looks like a good start to the project! "Local" here myself in Solvang/SY. BTW do you, or are you interested in AutoXing it? If so PM me, the Porsche club is a blast to go out with, and the event is coming up next month the 30th at the fairgrounds. (no need to run/own a Porsche) Would be fun to have another e30 in on the fun!
