        Spent an hour and a half scraping old gaskets off the M10 block, cleaning the oilways, washing it etc.

          Power steering is out, delete is in.

          Just looked at the pic and I was like.. Didn't I take all the crap out? There was still a hose left over! Good thing I caught that and it didn't fall on the road or something

          Wired up one of the euro h4 low beams! I can't wait until I can see them at night.

          Also painted the trim near the wiper blades a nice gloss black

            What did you do to your E30 today?

            Started the trans swap with my friend on my e30 this Friday and hopefully finishing everything today. Couldn't dedicate full days due to work schedules, but this is what we have done so far.

            Trans: New input, output and selector seals, new reverse light switch, UUC DSSR, derlin shifter bushings, new clip, pin, shifter cup, Z3 short shift w/ ZHP knob, brass clutch fork pivot pin, rear derlin shift carrier bushing, new clutch kit, resurfaced flywheel, UUC Clutch Line and Redline Mix.

            Pedal box: Brake pedal with Derlin bushings and the clutch pedal with Oilite Bronze bushings.

            95 e36 M Rack Swap w/ New inner and outer tie rods, boots and hoses.



            All that is left is to bolt in the pedal box, drive shafts, fluids and bleed. Hopefully I can get it done today. It's hard when your daily is also the project car haha.

              Hey E30onBBSs... that H4 lens is upside down. ;)

              Last couple of things I did last week... air filter and valve clearance check. First time in over 2.5 years that I've had to adjust - two valves.

              Washed her on Saturday night.

                And nice catch 😃. So I epoxied them to the housing all around, and the first time I did it they were "upside down" so I undid ALL the epoxy, it was quite difficult. Then I redid it, and went to put them on my car, and the whole time I had the assembly upside down.. So when I put it on my my 30 it was flipped. I was like woooow hahaha I put it on right, then undid it all just to do it wrong! I don't mind so much as long as they aim right 👍 I think they will

                  Did a mountain run with the homie, to break in the tranny swap on my Alpine. Love the e30 even more. Completely Night and Day compared with the auto haha. The best thing Ive done for the Alpine. Didn't put my weave caps back on or the shift boot and mid console. Was too excited to drive it haha

                      Waxed my Schwartz late model, paint looks much better than before but theres a bunch of light scratches on it from the years of use.

                        Finally had time to install the m-stitched shift and e-brake boot. These nice subtle touches goes really well here. I'm happy!

                              Not enough

                              I started my project a few days ago but today I have been looking around for a transmission and parts to do a swap while the motor is out.

                                First oil change at 75 miles in on my Euro S50 swap. Oil was very dark but all else looked real good. Filter was clean as well.

                                Car continues to run and idle better and better with each mile driven.
