Dang it, guess who just got a couple hundred v-band clamps.....

I have a very busy weekend ahead of me. I want to get my exhaust rebuilt, and my diff rebuilt in two days. My next autox is the 14th and I wont have time/space on week days to do any work.
Got some replacement parts from Summit. Mandrel U bend, 2 v-band clamps, CA legal cat, and a length of pipe. V-bands are super cool, and way more affordable then they used to be. About $30 on Summit. Cant wait to get it all welded up.

Even though I am sick I manned up and worked on my car all day today. I just popped a bunch of DayQuil and humped it out.
First I put new clutches in the diff. That was WAY easier then I thought it would be. Iv taken diffs apart before, thats not the hard part, I just hate removing them from cars.
Then I put my exhaust version 2 together. I reused the muffler that I ran over when the back half fell of the car :rofl: This time I used band clamps and I will make some quality hangers tomorrow. Shit ain't go'n no where! Sounds decent as well. Hope is passes smog with its brand new CA legal Magnaflow cat.

Out


Diff explosion


Warn out clutch and new clutch


Diff back in BAM!


Then the exhaust

Excuse the ugly MIG welds where the cat meets the headers. My excuse is I couldn't see under the car on my back welding with out a mirror hahaha
It was a weld left over from the last system that I did at the end of the day and I rushed it so it came out frickin ugly as hell. The others aren't beautiful but they are flat at least and dont look like piles of bird shit.

Had an autox this Saturday at Marina airport. I dont understand why the BMWCCA Golden Gate Chapter can not find a closer location. Having to drive down to Monterey from San Rafael for 7 runs is kind of hard to justify. I brought my sister as a passenger this time, and I think she had a lot of fun.



Sadly my driving was not any good. My fastest run felt like my sloppiest run of the day. I felt like I was sliding all over the place. All my slow times ended up being the times I thought I was driving nice and smooth with controlled input.

My fastest time was 54.639
The other e30 in my class (AA) got a 54.082
Fastest time in my class was 50.466 in a 1999 M3
