Why are you using old style head bolts?? Did you reuse them or something?

I had issues with 2 of the newer sets not torquing properly per the FSM. I am aware of the issues with the old style but they are the only set that i can get to grab a torque down.

I'm disappointed. It's not done yet. JKLOLWTFBBQ Anyway, you are planning to bring it to FarbinFest/the f_spectacle in July, right? Are you leading a caravan?

Haha, actually I am going pretty slow ;) Yes I will be there for sure, hopefully leading if not following as many people as we can get!!!

I love this thread, and this car! It's perfect.

Honestly.. That's why I love these e30s. THEY. JUST. DO. EVERYTHING.
Wanna go boarding? BAM! 4 boards on the rack, and 3 buds in the cab. Running? BAM! Room in the trunk for clothes and shoes, and stuff to block your BO. Surfing? Tie it to the rack! Biking? BAM! Throw some D's on it!

It's nice to see people getting their money's worth out of everything they're putting on their cars :)

Exactly, great little car when it wants to run ;) Going to add some track miles to her this year as well.

The way i look at it, E30s arent just about the cars, but a way to enjoy the best things in life too. Wanna go boarding? BAM! 4 boards on the rack, and 3 buds in the cab. Running? BAM! Room in the trunk for clothes and shoes, and stuff to block your BO; smelly guys rolling around town but keepin it fresh. Surfing? Tie it to the rack and grab your short! Biking? BAM! Throw some D's on it sucka!

Glad to see you haven't let slight hiccups derail your e30 dreams!
BecauseCar is lookin good! Digging the bike and rack honestly

Good luck with your new engine! That thing will definitely be a party piece :)

Ha, appreciate the kind words. This car is dear to me... never letting go ;)

I get a lot fad heat for the rack and i have used it to my benefit as well. I am an avid road/mountain biker in the summer and ski my heart out in the winter.... guess what gets me up the snow passes and dirt roads, this car.

Everything should be wrapped up and good to go here in a week or 2, stay tuned..
