    Yeah, I remember. Luckily, it wasn't me who hacked the shit out of it.

    Car is coming along nicely. Should be a sweet little daily when it's all done.

      So it took all morning to fix my friends stupid honda, but I got home and and managed to get most everything put together on the rear, and after looking at it on the ground I think I'm going to remove the rear spring pads and put the fronts back in.

          Just a quick update, I'm working swing shift now so when I get home around 1am I only have a few hours a day to work on the e30 if I'm not to tired. I'm shooting for this weekend to be driving again, then I'm just waiting on some small stuff so I can finally use this for a DD.

          I finished everything under the car except the fuel filter and removing the rear spring pads. So tomorrow after that I'll be putting the head back on. I'm getting excited to start going to local meets again.

                Fast work! I'm impressed.

                If you can, post up an exhaust clip whenever it's all back together. I've got a straight pipe set up with the stock exhaust and was wondering what it'd sound like with a different muffler.

                  Oh I plan to.

                  Even closer I'm on target for Wednesday.

                        Been driving for a month now, dealing with miller right now about a maf issue. It's causing me to idle high and run rich. Once it's resolved ill probably go megasquirt like I should have. Going to have a luke box installed this month. Also installed my smiles with hids. Getting close now.

                          Dyno165hp/164tq.

                          Long story short I had the wrong cam put in the head so the tune could be messed up because of that. Pulled of the head and now I'm putting it back together with the right cam. If my exhaust gaskets get here from blunt tomorrow ill be driving by the end of the night. I decided to start squeezing out all the hp I could from this head. Look at all the extra gasket material on the inside of the intake, it shows just how much porting was done.
