    Thought I would update my week with the engine so far.

    It has been -10 to 15 degrees this week so it has been hard to suffer through that. I got the engine partly tore down and all wiring gone over for cuts/wear etc. Hoses have been noted as with other needed parts. Ordering once a few parts sell *crosses fingers*

    Cleaned everything and put a bunch of metal parts in a box and heading to drop them off to Dave@ Renewed Finishes!!!! Thanks again buddy

    Some of the stuff from the other night, all stripped and masked.


    I will leave you guys with this for now ;) My ex GF was freaking when I tried to get back more. I bottomed out on grass haha.

            The rear is maxed out with no adjuster, I am going to a shorter spring this year.

            That is an honor coming from you! your build is amazing. Proves that crazy swaps and other stuff is not needed for a clean perfect e30. I love the "zen and art", more new e30 owners should read your build to see the approach on owning one.

                It takes a bit to get used to, but if you use a proper master cylinder with it there really is no issue. I am using a MC from a 93 525.

                      Tiny tease ;)

                      Tiägö mailed me Tom's M30 mounts to copy for my swap. Ordered enough plate steel to make mine and a few sets to sell on the cheap for members.

                      Dave@Renewed Finishes sent me a few inside pictures of my parts. Matched to my wheels and the red matched to my Schroth racing harnesses and planned color of my roll cage and ITBs.

                              Thanks Iron, but no. My build will never be a COTM, just a well built track rat.

                              I know right Sean? I cannot wait to see your wheels!!!

                                I sent you a PM about the camber plates you use, I ended up getting the answered I needed from Mark at GC, I have E28 race plates on there way!
