      Atta boy Joey, do work! My first timing belt took me over 6 hours, the first one is always a whore. Wait until you do a head gasket!

      If you drive your e30 on stairs, you're gonna have a bad time.

        Thanks Greg! It was definitely a huge hassle...

        We even forgot a bolt on the tensioner, so I had to wake up the next morning at 6 to fix it in time to get me to work at 9. I even drove 50 miles right after we fixed it to drop my bud off st his cuzzos house without the bolt in there. Thank goodness nothing happened..

        Dodged a bullet with that one!

              Appreciate the love sir :-D

              Although, when I slapped my boot on, I never had a problem with it sagging. I would have no idea what you guys mean without some pictures

              However; the ebrake boot is designed for the nasty plastic ebrake handle, so it'll be bigger than the e34/e36 leather ebrake handle if you've got one. Some zipties and super glue fixes that; after the super glue sets, just cut the ties cause they'll just get in the way and make you boot look weird at the connection point.

              Don't have pics of that, but it's pretty straightforward really..
