            Really sucked reading that, my condolences to you and your family.

            I've never really dealt with you personally but have seen you in the E30 community forever. I just gave what I could to your gofundme.

                To celebrate 1k subscribers on youtube I promised a block long burnout. Made this video before I decided to part out and sell the goods. I'll miss not driving the E30 for a couple months but gotta do what ya gotta do.

                    this is terrible :( you've worked so hard on that car. However cars are replaceable and I guess you can hit the next project hard with everything you've learnt doing everything yourself.

                    Sorry to hear about your dad mate

                      So I did a compression test on the m20 just to see its health. All cylinders are within around 7-8psi of eachother. Cyl #2 reads highest at 135psi and cyl#5 lowest at 128psi all the rest are exactly 130psi. So it seems to be within spec for an original m20 with close to 160k miles, it was done cold, dry and at 5500-5600ft elevation. For comparison my 200k+miles e23 with an m30 only has around 120-125psi compression.

                        wish i could have scored the turbo kit, but i just bought a house and have a bathroom to renovate:(

                        good luck with your situation man, and props to you for stepping up to help your family.

                              Sorry for your loss, I've recently lost my mother (last month) so I know the feel you are going through.
