So some good news happened yesterday! Bagriders was offering sponsorships to ten different cars, and my car was picked. Another e30 was picked before, but he couldn't accept the sponsorship, so I was offered the spot. (THANKS CHRISTIAN CRBR30) Looks like I may be bagged sooner than later:) I am looking forward to doing business with Bagriders!

So a little update on the build... I learned something new that almost cost me a lot of money! The car started running shitty, and wouldn't start. Then I finally got it started which resulted in backfires from the intake. I pulled off the VC and did a compression test. results were about 60 on all cylinders except #4 which had nearly no compression. After some inspecting I noticed the sprocket on the exhaust cam had loose bolts
Set the timing on the cams and retorqued the sprocket. did a new 3 crank compression test which resulted in 150 on all five cylinders except #4 which was dead:( Intake valves are bent on cyl 4 so I took the head off and I am waiting on new valves.
After doing some reading I realized you need to apply loctite to those bolts. It sucks, but everyone has to learn sometime. Luckily a bolt didn't come out!

So I got the head back on with a new gasket and the car is running GREAT!! I drove it on the road for the first time today and god I LOVE THIS CAR! I still need to get it aligned so I can drive it more... The only issue I have is the idle air motor under the intake comes on when the car is off and turns off when the car is on causing my battery to die... I have went through the wiring harness double checking everything and no luck. I have a red label 413 ecu and a silver label 413 with a chip... It does this with both computers so I am lost
I also made some seat rail covers to clean up the interior by hiding the recaro adapters
