Who ended up fixing the head for you?

Top-end work is in progress. Hopefully once its done I can at least drive her around the block!

[Mlarsen]

Don't make me come over and finish it for you....

Updaaaaaaates!!!!????

[cramer]

there was a cam tray for sale on S14.net not too long ago, but I'm having trouble finding the listing.

[spiDmang]

fuck. fuckkkkkkk.

[flyboyx]

crap. well, at least that is a "relatively" inexpensive part on the used market compared to what could have been damaged. it appears the head and valve cover are ok?

[rzerob]

That sucks.

[delamaize]

Damn, that sucks man.

Hit a pretty major snag yesterday. Apparently when the core support made contact with the cap & rotor, it did a little more damage than we initially thought.

Cam tray has about 4-5 cracks in it. This most certainly prohibits me from bringing the car to the e30 picnic this year :(

That's pretty typical of ECS support tbh, I like the ease of using their site but they have always lied to me when I contact asking about products.

Got some bad news this morning.

ECS have updated my order for the e30 M3 convertible fenders, saying they are backordered with no ETA. Really sucks for me as I triple checked with them that they could get them, my status was "Product Inbound", so I sold my coupe fenders locally.

Now I have to rebuy coupe fenders and modify them, unless some miracle happens. I'm going to keep my order open just in case, as it'll be a while before this thing is ready for paint. Worst-case scenario I run the coupe fenders, and if one day I come across vert M3 fenders I can paint them and bolt them on.


Really bummed out about this turn of events.

damn! that really sucks......

Very sorry to hear that, Aaron. Stories like this are exactly why I will never ever buy from ECS Tuning. I'll keep an eye out for a pair of fenders for you.
