Melted a piston, now LSX Turbo

[CorvallisBMW]

Diff and calipers look fucking awesome, keep it up :up:

Pushed the car out to clean it up and weld up the booster holes in the firewall.
Finished rebuilding the t56, but diff is giving me trouble and has play even after reshimming it....

That diff is going to have play sooner or later all by itself (turbo LSX)

Is the pinion race trashed?

Is the pinion race trashed?

Everything is fine condition wise, I swapped the gears from 3.91 to 3.46 and did a 4 clutch rebuild. There's too much clunk between the ring and pinion. I'm starting to get pissed off about it because it's one of the last things I need to finish up.

So I went and bought a full mtech 2 kit, trying to sell the spoiler if anyone is interested.
Here's the front all mocked up. I'm looking for a gutenparts mtech 2 lip if anyone has a lead on one I will gladly pay a pretty penny for it.

Got the rest of the kit on.
Still need a few clips.

Normally I would say a car with a hodgepodge of 80s parts (square headlights, 2-tone, window louvers, red plate filler, etc) would just be a rolling pile... but somehow, on your car it all just... fits. I don't know why, but it all works together is some kind of amazing 80s harmony, like Wilson Phillips. Or Kenny Loggins.

:slow clap:

Haha thank you, it will be painted all one color once it runs and drives.

Chances you make any shows with it this year? Or do you even have a date when you hope to be done by?

Never been a big car show guy, I want to do it right and take my time.
There's no reason it shouldn't be driving by the end of fall beginning or winter and get painted next spring.

Mocked up the works
Now I'm ordering all the little things I've been putting off

I feel the same way. On paper this thing shouldn't be cool but this is hands down one of my favourite E30s. I usually hate vette saw blades on E30s too, but they look killer on this car. Cheers to you Dirk this is one badass build.
