What did you do to your E30 today?


Second try at aux fan resistor. The amazon 100w 0.5 ohm resistor blew my 15 amp fuse. Went te connectivity 100w 0.47ohm resistor from digikeys and higher mounting spot. Also swapped fuse for 30amp one. Hope this one lasts. I ran the AC with the resistor bypassed for a couple weeks. Kept the AC cold in stop and go traffic but the fan was loud.

Fixed rust holes in my passenger floor. Was told after inspection there was a spot of surface rust, so a month later I went under to fix it and it turned into a bigger job. Seats, center console and carpet all came out. Then the rust was cut out, metal shaped and welded in and 2 coats of paint followed by bed liner was applied to prevent future problems. The bottom left picture is the pieces that were cut out just laying there. Also fully cleaned the carpet while it is out.

Well my car passed inspection, emission exempt, but they said the front and rear main seals were leaking and the transmission was leaking...What a joke....The valve cover was leaking and the rocker shaft plugs were old and shrank so they were leaking. The fluid on my transmission was dark brown (engine oil) not red like the transmission oil.... Other then that the said I have a spot of rust starting on my passenger floor (will be fixed when it stops raining).

Also a bolt snapped in my valve cover where the intake manifold support bracket goes.

Replaced my fuel filter finally, had a date on it from Feb 20, 2000 which puts at least 60,000 miles on it.

Klaus got a new timing belt today. The one I took off, installed 7 years ago, has 7,200 miles on it.

The alternator belt was my first replacement that wasn't super simple. That was fun removing half the car to get to it [emoji16] [emoji106]

Haha I'm far from done, but glad I got over this hurdle. Smashed my finger at the gym this morning so gonna wait a bit to do up the rest of brake lines and other work where requires more dexterity. Up next is to refresh fron suspension bushings. Oil pan gaskets, timing cover gasket and heater valve/heater core. hopefully after alll of this I'll be done with major projects and just enjoy it on the track.

Just wanted to say I finally got the rear subframe back in after months of procrastinating. Added poly bushings, eccentric tabs, and ss brake lines. Was really discouraged/unmotivated seeing how difficult it was to drop it. Putting it back in only took an hour with help from a friend. Went a lot smoother than anticipated.

Today was a good day.

Nice! How's she ride?

Living up north, if they were just aluminum, they'd get white and crusty from the salts used on roads... like how cylinder heads and alternator shells can get.

Oh I know lol salt is cancer.. I'm dealing with it now
