Update: Tuesday the e30 will go on jack-stands as soon as I get the new passenger caliper and rear brakes on the M3.



E30 to do list:



-I think I have sourced a drive-shaft that I will install.



-My PLX wideband brain just arrived back from warranty work. Throwing that in.



-Oil pressure sensor back light and signal wire.



-CCV

-Pull valve cover

-Tap

-Die grind port for more flow.



-Change trans fluid



-Top off diff fluid and RTV seal speed sensor.



-RTV seal ICV connector and brace hoses underneath intake manifold somehow.



-Replace Wilwood rotors and front pads.



-Bleed front brakes.



-Move BOV to brake booster vacuum. Going to T into that.



-Install fuel pressure regulator.



And that's it!!

You think I needed new rotors?


Parts to install. Excited to get this wrapped up.

Thank you!

Surprisingly I put 400 miles on it with no hood and the exhaust coming out of the hood. No tickets and I didn't get pulled over! Crazy!!

Here is my current setup for the exhaust. 3in stainless steel mandrel bent all the way back to the borla race muffler. I'm not sure why the pics have the lines in them but you get the idea.

Crank Case is on vacuum!

Beat the crap out of her last night and she was all good!!

I might have to close up the plug gap a little more and make sure all the plugs have the open side facing away from the intake so I don't blow out the spark. It slightly broke up a couple of times.

I smoked a modded, newer GTO last night! Ha! Dude was shocked.

Time to boost her up!!! I might go 18-22psi. I'm at 14psi now after fixing a leak I've had since the beginning.

Writing down another update to keep me organized.

Things to do:

- Swing by radio shack for a 5amp inline fuse for the wideband brain.

- Buy a new VDO oil pressure gauge that works with my sending unit.

- Install glove box.

- Install trunk lock.

- I also need to cut some more of my fenders off in the rear.

- Clean up the grill and fender mounts. #easy

- Order Condor Speed Shop Trans mounts.

Who has re-keyed their locks? Please school me on this guys!

After doing some work to the BOV I found out that I had a pinched ICV barbed hose fitting which had to be leaking badly. I kind of already mentioned this...Now can this snow go away?!?!
