The car has had problems with rain leaking in at the corners of the windshield, so I decided to put some silicone down and see if it helps. The corners of the windshield have a pretty good curve to them, and water tends to pool there, so I wanted to build the area up a bit so the water drains better.

Rear:
Unfortunately, after yesterday's rain there was still a good amount of water in the car, so something is clearly still leaking. I'm considering doing the entire base of the windshield and seeing if that does anything, but if it doesn't I'm going to have to consider replacing the seal/windshield :( Thank god we don't have carpets, because if we did, we would have no idea the leaks existed.

Why dont you take the windshield out, and inspect the weatherstripping, you may need to replace it.

its pretty straightforward.
1. pull the inner lock strip out. it may break into many little pieces( so be ready for that)
2. use a right angled pick to release the stripping from the glass.(inside and outside) WD40 helps with this.
3. slowly with the help of someone else put even pressure on the inner top corner and center of the windshield until the top corner pops through.
4. slowly pull it out
5. drink a beer in celebration that you didn't break it.
installation is more of a pITA

Pour some water in there and watch the flow....and then look inside the car. It should be noticeable, and would come down in the same place is it would look like the windshield leaking.
In the back, it's probably your trunk seal, as we looked at the other day.Stage rally/rallycross e30 build/competition journal

Well the second set of M50/17lb injectors came in after only 2 of the first 6 worked, and we installed them last night. Unfortunately, after much cranking and swearing, the engine won't turn over. I'm about to go back outside and check to see if the rail is getting fuel. After that, I will pretty much be out of ideas.....

I can't imagine all 6 are bad. Re-check afm, icv, cps sensor connections.

Right now I have used m50 17 pounders (closer to 15.5-16 w/ e30 fpr), used regular i injectors, rebuilt gen III 19 pounders, and used gen I 19 pounders. I'll sell you a set if you need them.ส็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็Originally posted by blunttechI need you to exfoliate my ballsack

so are you not getting fuel/spark again? Could it be that the M50 injectors just suck? Man, I'd just put some ones in there you KNOW work and call it a day.Stage rally/rallycross e30 build/competition journal
