So, there is no way I am dropping the motor for this damn wiper linkage. This is what I came up with for now, lol.

when the dog bone broke, i had told you, it can be replaced just by itself, its like a 20$ item

Yeah. I did get the part but I couldn't get the other end removed from where it attaches under the motor.

Austin why does your car smoke so damn much?

Lol. It does run pretty rich, thanks to the TRM tune. Consumes very little oil, so I will chalk it up to the tune.

So I've been cutting and trimming that late valance the past couple days in preparation for the rear conversion and I only have a few things I'm not quite sure about.
Where the db trim attaches on the side of the car, there is that little tab next to the wheelarch. I'm debating whether or not to cut the valance around it or to just tack weld the tab on to the late valance. My worry is that if I cut around it, if it will show or not...

Weld it to the late model valance. That's how an '88 car would come.

Anyone know or have opinions on if these locking lug bolts by ECS Tuning are any good? They seem kind of cheap and easy to undo with a 16mm... or a torx socket.. But if they work they work?

Anyone have an m42 oil pan around Seattle for cheap?

ECS sells BMW brand ones that aren't to horribly prices and I don't see there anyway you could get them off with out the tool.

Got the front end put together, too late for Burgers & Bimmers but oh well. This thing is a blast so far.

Is it possible that my cps is broken even though my car has spark and fuel? My old cps wire was cut by the timing belt so i bought a new cps but it is not anything like the oem one. When I try to start my car it turns over and sounds like it wants to start but doesn't. And whenever i pull out my spark plugs they smell like fuel

BTW if you are looking for lock nuts for E30 dont buy those trash 'oem' ones that are the squiggly line type, the metal is too soft and they strip.

Ask me how i know.
