Love it. Too sick. Nice work man, really nice work.

Sub'd for what's to come

Thanks a lot! Truly appreciate that!

I just popped some bougies (aka spark plugs) in the e30. Iridium gapped to .025. The old plugs were nasty and warped. They were some standard 4554 NGK 8's if I remember correctly.

A quick E30 shoot.























I'm experiencing some break up at higher RPMs. Need to look into some different plugs and get a new tune from TRM. It's way too rich.

A little 1st gear.

Nice build so far, looks sick. I'm jealous of the turbo.

Thanks, man. It is definitely fun but it has it's issues now and then. Hopefully it will be all good for awhile.

Got the ECS T3 solid gasket in the mail from @Frank_Mopar!





Installed it with some copper RTV.





Had to track down the Snap-On dealer to get a male 14mm allen socket for the differential fill hole. Picked this up too and it's the bee's knees.





The 14mm allen lead to this. Please don't judge my washers





The subframe diff mounting hardware. 16mm bolts and thick washers from a M-coupe if I remember correctly.





Which lead to this.





Oil change.







I drained my crank case catch can that draws vacuum from the exhaust. Nasty...





Who wants to clean this up?!!?





Some more pics of the e30 M3 rear seat.









Washed off the garage.









Goodnight.

Got the DSSR in the mail.





Had to grind down the selector end a bit to make it fit. #Earl





At home.





The final piece to finish putting the interior back together.





E21 mounts and the powder coated brace. #Snap





Drive shaft bolted up, CSB preloaded, tunnel cover and powder coated brace installed.





Harness from the PO.





My E30 M3 interior from my old car. I need to clean and condition everything.





Where should I put these?? #Bassboy

Scooped up a new sub this morning.





Wired it up to 2 ohms and installed it.





My next project. Installing a working glove box to hide all this.





UPS just dropped of a small box! Into the garage!!

More pictures of that rear spoiler?

I have some on flickr and instagram accounts. DrLeadFoot for both.


Hooked up,the new amp and nada. Took the speaker out and tested the two coils. 2ohms a piece.



First one looks good.





Second one not so much.



Sorry for the iPad pics. Camera battery died.



Other things I got done.



- Tried to bleed the slave but the pedal doesn't feel right. It doesn't sit on the floor when pressed. It's spongie feel to it. I'm using an e36 m3 slave. Any tips? Also was using a vacuum pump on the slave bleeder while having my fiancée pump and hold the pedal.



- Cut a ring out of my BOV. I'll order the replacement springs tomorrow but there is no rush. The yellow spring was in there from Tial.



- Replaced the passenger side fog light. The old one had a crack in it.



- Cleaned up a bit.
