Has your AFM anti-tamper cap for the adjustment screw been removed? If so, throw the AFM away, those are never to be messed with.

Test and/or replace your blue coolant temperature sensor, too.

So I've replaced my O2 sensor and spark plugs but my car still runs really rich at full throttle (quite a bit of black smoke at full throttle), anyone have any ideas on how i should diagnose it? Its a stock m20b25, stock afm, stock injectors, and a stock chip.

I’d frame the box and probably throw the E30 parts in the scrap bin.

If I had something shipped to me like that I would poo in my pants

Kooglewerks ships spoilers in some wood crates that are pretty cool, but not nearly that level of crazy.

I shipped calipers like this....



lol, but I was trying to show off a bit. FedEx loved it. Has no problems shipping that way.

If you just make a wood box out of 1x1s and plywood and use those expanding foam packets inside it will be fine. Then you can ship it with anyone, freight shippers, etc.

Received one packaged just like this. Worked just fine.

[Habla]

Wow, you still didn't sell that car? Also, pics of 911 or ban

ECS has a good sale on z3m diff covers. I bought one today.

My white e30 is getting the turbo 24v out of my nephews faux M3 now!

[djjerme]

I’ve had a bunch shipped to me, and most often, it’s just a box in a box in a box. It’s not like the UPS is going to fuck up a diff. Maybe drop it on their toe, but unless it’s got the Z3 finned cover WGAF...

Does anyone have an e30 auto trans output flange? The four bolt setup without a guibo?

[Rennsport]

I had one shipped in one of those plastic tubs from costco, taped the openings of the diff and filled the tub with expanding foam, ziptied the lid closed.

[2mAn]

oh man, I wonder which of these I can get the seller do lol

Anyone shipped a diff before? Looks like I will need to be sent from PDX to LAX... heard Greyhound?

I have been sent a diff, guy used a plastic container/box from sams club with tons of foam and cardboard inside. He zip tied the lip closed and it came undamaged.
