Hi guys

I thought you guys would get a kick out of my buddy's new plates for his e30.

Aside, from that, we have his rust under control, I'm almost done with wiring the engine.

First start up after a weekend of diagnosing.



It started off with no power which was a super dead battery, so I added a jumper box. The starter slowly came to life,but I was missing spark and fuel. I had fuel pressure,but the injectors were pulsating. I found out my feed and return lines were mixed up. Next, the no spark issue was traced to a bad coil, and 173 dme. I threw my buddy's 380 dme and coil on which lead to instant start up. PimpinWalrus hooked me up with a good standing 173,and she starts up. I have a few issue left to address, but she should be ready for autox on the 23rd.

I drove her finally. I recently got some motivation to work on her again. I gotta fix some vacuum leaks,piece together an exhaust, and put my interior back together. We should be in business after that .

I got a package from sssquid and it has been installed. I put my exhaust on, and have a leak somewhere near the manifolds. Still tracing down a vacuum Ieak. Interior still needs some love.

Cool build. I would have rhino-lined the engine bay when the motor was out though!

I was in a rush to get the car out of a friend's yard,so I had to just drop it in and go.

She's getting closer to seeing the wide open road. Working out the last few details.

Worked on the interior of the car last night. My cluster was reading inaccurately, so the car was completely out of fuel. I looked at the the fuel level sender and peeked into the rank. Everything was clean,and in proper working order. I get to tackle the steering column thread today.

Shakedown Run

After getting the steering column thread sorted out with a die, the mtech 1 wheel went back on. She needed to see life outside of the parking lot,so wot was achieved and I liked it! Autox next year will be fun!
