Defiantly no progress on Lachs, The AER events are stacking up as they were canceled for a few months. Heavy work load and race events = No time for Lachs.

I feel bad about commenting on the least cool part of what you posted, but what was that timing chain guide for/from in post 110?

August 2020.

Slipping in some prog!

Welp.. I moved my ABS. Just not confident where it was setting. Whenever this goes S54, and if the booster / servo needs slotted to the side, I don't want to have to make the change and re-plumb all the lines..




Digging though clips and brackets for the extra brake line going to the rear, E30.TV sells this in their complete kit but not separate.



Still brewing ideas for the interior, Now that the seats are heated and cooled and wiring will be getting closer to done. The half caged business casual look hopefully what comes about...






















Option options options...


HMM!


Excellent donor cards to get refinished!

Car was due for some defiant service.
A half season maintenance were dampers, Wheel bearings, Rear wheel hubs, wheel studs, Inspect clutch. And the standard pre event Fluids, Brakes, Alignment, Inspection, Blow out radiators, Clean air filter, nut and bolt, organize the parts and food bins.







The new Bilstein's are crimped in and not really as service able.... Always something..

Thanks for continuing to update and the progress looks awesome! Can’t wait to see the interior come together.

M50 timing chain guide - Febi
I ordered last one my supplier had in stock, the circlip wouldn't go on that holds the guide. and after looking at it the hole was drilled cockeyed. Ordered one from the dealer, only to find out it was 2 weeks Germany... Delays Delays, just another day..

Truck in house? Good or bad, that's life, it was there for a week, I drove by it once, twice a day... Seems to be wrecked calls all around, the city impound lots are topped. Areas in the last 5 years are not so rough, things have cleaned up. Homelessness and opioids, needles are running their course. Although this thread is the day to day of what helps and limits my E30 progress. I'm sure this discussion could run it off track. A problem out of my current wheel house and a hard route I don't think were quite set up for.. and could be discussed and battled till the end of time.

Thanks! I'm glad to be able to continue updating this umbrella of a project. :)

Its a hard mix to have your cake and eat it to. A complaint racecar this isn't a racecar, but could daily it if wanted. NGT / Clubsport / GT3 all inspirations

I bounce back and forth of labels that I would put on the car, Currently would be something like E30 "GTZ", I think a proper period correct clubsport / Group N for an E30 would be M20 on 15/16's. But when you start looking at the GT3 variant of the 911, the bigger wheels pop with the bigger motors, Non turbo. Although the current GT4 Clubsport is quite an influential package.

I probably wont go with the forward bars though, but its nice how the NGT cars pull them in tightly.

September 2020

Small but huge prog

ABS has comfortably made its way into its new home. Feeling much more confident in its location, A bit tight but cozy. If brake booster/ servo needs slotted over when it comes down to S54 time should be much simpler. I did have to shorten the Clutch Master, Tap and put AN fitting on the end, should work well. I already trimmed another Clutch master for my spare parts kit. Luckily the connector reaches and fits quite well. I'm going to re do the steering linkage as it was never assembled currently and the U joints are out of sync.


Ideas Ideas




Materials are the same, lighting and exposure vary the shade captured.


Normal ops, Spec says one size vs reality.


Broke another one of my favorite flaring tools again.. These are hard to come by..


318ti got some love, Replacing the steering rack with a ZHP unit, the current on has been leaking for years. Stop leak helped but made the fluid cavitate in the winter.


Out with the old


New pump also!
