hehe I just ordered a bunch of parts tonight... can't wait to start tearing into boxes like this haha

[8380 Labs]

just about done collecting parts, almost time to get them on.



rear dust shields, ate super blue fluid, new pads & sensors, rear soft brake lines, rear wheel bearings, ebrake cables.



CSB, rear subframe bushings & hardware, TA bushings, guibo, trans mounts.



m50 17lb injectors, water wetter, intake manifold gaskets, o-ring for the bitch tube.



new rotors and the rebuilt 3.73S.

still waiting on powder-coated trailing arms, dif fluid, OEM coolant and timing belt kit + water pump.

really stoked to drive the car after all the upgrades. :)

Those look awesome!

[8380 Labs]

not a ton of progress to report yet. test fit the wheels the other day:





got a great deal on 4 new rotors from UUC the other day too, those will be here thursday. also have some powdercoated rear trailing arms inbound.

things should be picking up soon.

"While I'm in there" parts are the best kind of parts :up:

[8380 Labs]

small update: continuing to amass parts.



i pulled the car out of storage on friday, but had to buy a new battery to do so. saturday morning i had some driveway time and replaced the blower motor resistor.

the HVAC was only working on setting 4, it was very squeaky, and also smelled like a slot car track when it was on. after the new resistor and some lubrication, everything was working properly again.



next on the list is swapping the new valve cover and intake manifolds on, but i need to order a few more "while i'm in there" parts before i take that on.

progress should be much more brisk now that the car's out of storage again and the weather is warming up. (it's warming up, right?! :|)

I really like where this is going coming from the Vw world as you did puts a big smile on my face . Time for me to find the e30 now

[JinormusJ]

Had a buddy with those Konigs on a civic;
Look way more appropriate on an e30

Loving the Intake and Valve Cover. Makes me almost miss my black one. Almost. ;)
