Had a great weekend. The Swedish Cruise In (volvo/saab meet) at Triple XXX Rootbeer in Issaquah was yesterday. Tons of fun despite the weather.

Didn't notice you didn't have wipers. Playing with fire, boy. Did the lady you were with take any good pictures?

[IronJoe]

Yup yup. No hood, no roof, no wipers/washers/washer fluid bottle. Also deleted the charcoal canister, emissions crap, etc. I tried to get rid of most of the non-essentials.


She got some pics but the weather didn't really behave for very long... Here's one with you in it.

That is a stance of power, of dignity. I stand tall, surveying all that is before me, keeping your pointing hand in check.

Is there an "easy" way to pull the front lower timing cover on an m20? It looks like I need to yank the crank bolt but I can't break it loose.

Sidenote, RTV is not a substitute for gaskets and orings. Not even a prodigious amount of it.

The mighty Joel surveys his kingdom and lets out a ever so slight nod. All is well.

Nice pick up man :up:

Now lower that badboy :D

New Sedan is looking good Haruko!

Thanks guys, I'm really excited about whats ahead & yes it'll get low, but not oil pan crushing low.

I was so trying to get my Brother to bring his Viggin to the event, but he has his reason's for waiting. Car looks great with no hood

I just threw away a perfectly good 731 head.

Anyone want a complete ETA motor with a slipped timing belt? I'm cutting the C101 plug off and taking the valve cover, oil pan, p/s pump and alternator. Free as shit.

Look into IE3 / Billstein sports and drophats. Never had an issue with the oil pan and the low is perfect IMO.

[e30Rooster]

Anyone have a working 90* ICV for sale?

I don't want to go too low, but I do want a drop, would that be a setup I be potentially wanting to look at? I'm either going 15-16 inch wheels, but leaning towards 15, because I do spirited runs at night in my neck of the woods.

Might need to start an application for "Alpha-Team" soon, I had an older looking female tell me I had a great looking car. Good thing I have a GF :cockbloc:


I'm seriously trying to figure out a way to down-size my computer life down to just a tablet. Not quite sure it's possible though!

Yea I really like the setup, it's not bad for dd purposes. Still gotta drive to avoid stuff in the road but I've never worried about my pan. If anything my mudflaps scrape on bumps.

You and Greg can kiss my ass
