    I decided not to weld diff , I bought a car with an LSD so I'll be able to slide around with that car instead.

    I pulled lines from the junkyard , had a few from st1g , and my old ones so I chose the ones that looked the best and let them sit in a soapy bath and then I sprayed the metal fittings with brake cleaner.

    They haven't leaked yet. I wanted new lines but didn't feel like spending 70$ per line.

    It feels so good to drive a car that doesn't make noise when turning .
    I've ordered new coolant , oil sensors for the car that I will be replacing.

    I posted the car on Craigslist and got immediate attention, I have a potential buyer that will make me an offer as soon as I take the car in for a quick inspection.




    Here is a roller from a few days ago.

    I have almost everything on and bolted down finnaly . I owe the success of this mission to my mentor ST1G and a lovely playlist composed of Andrea Bocelli and Celine Dion.

    I have good news and bad news .

    The bad news is , I will be selling the vert soon.

    The good news is , I purchased an alpine-white late model 325is.
    She will be delivered to my driveway within the next few weeks.

    Steering rack feels pretty sluggish , tie rods are only one year old and alignment is okay .

    I'm going to be swapping out my steering rack with an extra one I have to see if that helps.

    Had a few guys recommend Hondabond gasket maker instead of using a cork or paper gasket so hopefully it holds up nice . Anyone else use it ?
