What did you do to your E30 today?

Finally installed my trunk lid trim and tool box.

Cleaned the greasy mess off of the bottom of my engine and replaced my ABS pump with this beauty from our own Jordan Sarette.

Replaced my oil pressure sender, cleaned all the oil out of the connector, changed the oil and put everything back together. My drip pan is bone dry once again.


After that, I changed my brake fluid, bled the system, and took the car out for a test drive. Thanks to Jordan I now have working ABS again!

I installed a Heckblende the other day. I've been wanting to put one on for a long time. I finally got around to doing it.

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.

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

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.

Nice.

Sounds like a normal M42 maintenance day.

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

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.

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.

Cleaned up some old school stainless headers and installed them
