What did you do to your E30 today?

How are you liking it?

I like it a lot. The only thing is if you have Plus or Bigger phone it will not sit correctly on the charger. I had to modify it a bit to get it to work with my phone.

Cleaned up some old school stainless headers and installed them

Did a valve adjustment and I believe I have finally stopped the valve cover from leaking. Also flogged the hell out of it in the twisties.

Attempted removal of passenger side front valence bolt via my friend the welder. Thing is rusted in, stripped out, and features broken off extractor tip compliments of previous owner's attempt at removal. We broke off a grade 8 bold (sheer failure brittle fracture surface) that was welded in! Now I have the task of trying to remove the bolt that was welded on and broken off. Hopefully I can get it out and test another extractor. If that doesn't work I may try welding again with a stainless steel bolt. If that don't work it'll be full drill out and re-tap.



In the meantime my r134 conversion will be on hold unless I decide to drain the cooling system and go at the condenser from the radiator side.

Damn dude. Hardcore.


I installed solid adjustable control arm bushings.

I'm not impressed with how far out the back of the heim joint the control arm sits and Garagistic says my car is messed up and all theirs are fine with more extension, but cannot provide a picture to show that. Weird. We'll see how long they last in the PNW with no boots.

Sounds like a normal M42 maintenance day.

Definitely, just long over due for mine!
Car sat for years in the garage.

Nice.

I snapped four bolts on my rear seal carrier. I thought the click from the 1st 3 bolts was my torque wrench until the 4th bolt came off after it snapped.

I also stared at mine, then I decided it needed a wash and vac.

Thought about what to do to it next.

Send back damaged ATI Crank Damper in hope they can fix it...

Plan on to try and get 7* of caster this weekend from E36 uprights / knuckles. .

Stared at it.
