Got a little work done last night.
Made these little jack stand pads so I can place the jack stands under the door sill at the oem emergency jack points without damaging that sill and safely so the jack pad/stand can't slip off. This small change is actually really nice since it take the jack stands out from underneath the car. I have a lot more space to roll around on my creeper now.
Popped this out. Kinda a pita. And I forgot to mark the steering jack joint and lock the wheel before I removed it so I'll probably need a front alignment when it's done. The control arm ball joints were very tight into the spindles. Combination of torch, penetrating oil and mallet got them out. I'll use some anti-seize next time.

I am also out of the country for several days over next weekend. So really I have 1 weekend to get it back together (this weekend, which I will).

Im definitely trying to put more time into tuning my own skills so i can get out on a real track, but I know I will have to go through the brake system at some point soon. I want to have a safe place to really push the car and test everything out.
There NEEDS to be more events, so dont rush and YOU can bug ME when the next one is coming upSimon

I definitely will. My buddy with the audi you met a while back (picking up the charcoal canister?) has also been dying to get more seat time. It's always more fun when you have a little group to run with! Especially more fun with another modded e30!!

Basically use loctite because the oem bolts are a one time use aka they stretch. If you don't you could end up like kamotors who's flywheel bolts backed out. His flywheel then destroyed the end of the crank
Oem pressure plate bolts also come with blue shmoo preapplied
