For Gods Sake Michigan

[CrazyJew89]

So I did the Twilight Tour road rally yesterday and all I broke was the glove box. So today I pulled out the super glue did a beefy rebuild replacing all the sheet metal screws and speed nuts that come loose with real nuts, bolts, and lock washers. I'm fairly sure those speed nuts are why all the glove boxes like to break. Wish I got photos of the mud covered car and the rebuild, but I did get photos of some other stuff.

Finally found the root cause of my blinker issues.


So I'm in the market for some new connectors with tails if anyone has.

I also found this thing chilling in the engine bay all by its lonesome.



Anyone know what it is?

After having M Sport bumpers laying around for 2 years, I finally got some color on them and got them on the car. If the weather breaks I'm ready got a GTG where ever.

What diff are you running with your M30? I have a 3.73 LSD currently but I'm thinking I might want to go with a little longer gearing... possibly a 3.25 if I can find one

The car has a 4:10 in it right now, but I've got a 3:73 I'll be running. I may build up another subframe/TA setup and go with a 3:64 or 3:46 later on

Lol I'll mount some on the roof. Knew I bought a slick top for something haha.

You guys are all welcome to go for a ride. Maybe I'll help convince a few of you to go m30 :D

I'll bring a bunch of sheet metal screws and everyone that doesn't fit in the cabin will be responsible for their own seat, lol

I just found out yesterday that they have fully forged internals. I think that might be enough right there for me.

Maybe we need to add some extra seats somewhere so you can give everyone a ride at once and see how much torque it really has :-P

Yea, Danny, finish your car before you retire. Nsquared, there is a line for ride alongs! haha ;)

who, where autocross?

Check this out:

http://www.furrin.org/Events/CalendarofEvents/tabid/70/Default.aspx

Furrin Group's events in particular are super cheap and a great group of people. Not as ultra competitive as SCCA events can get (not that that's a bad thing by any means) but for someone starting out it's a great group. If your willing to travel a bit, there's plenty of events in the area. I literally plan on doing something every weekend from the end of this month until mid Sept.

I meant highest number of miles on the clock not gas mileage, lol. 215k registered and climbing

Haha my bad. Mine's at 148k on the motor, 178k on the chassis.

I may come down to the show if I'm not busy with work that week. Do you have a facebook page for this? It may help me remember to come.

Haha it's nothing special. Just a run of the mill high mileage m30 swapped e30 ;)

I definitely need a ride in this, I wanna fell dat M30 torque!!! haha.

So I was just reminded of the Twilight Tour TSD Rally going on this Saturday and I wanted to do it, but I'm still looking for a co-driver. Would anyone be interested?

A caravan/mini-meet would be fun. I may be willing to host a quick gathering at my place and then take some nicer roads down along the lakeshore instead of just the highway. I'm in Grand Haven, which is north of Holland.

There is caravan from Chicago coming up there, maybe we can meet up en route to Euro Hangar.

My e28 is at 192k right now, not the orignal motor though.

[CrazyJew89]

True, but I have not gotten to see one of those yet, so it is still new to me, lol
