Tiny minimal update.

Finally was able to source some nice stainless socket head screws to replace the rotten ones that held my TPS in place.

I am also working on picking up a rare part that I have been after for over a year and a half. Tomorrow morning they will either be mine, or I may lose out on them. Hoping I get them=) I will clue you guys in once they belong to me

Well I now own the secret, so here is the story.

So I have been looking at the car and wondering what would even look right for mirrors anymore. I have had the mirrors off so long that the flag mirrors just look to big, bulky, and stick to far away from the body.

I thought no mirrors, but it would look a tiny bit odd. So I remember a while back I was offered a set of AC Schnitzer Cup mirrors. I was willing to buy them but the seller started to not respond back and I never heard from him again.

I told my german friend Kitty that I may want to find a set of AC Schnitzer mirrors. She ended up finding exactly what I was looking for and at a steal of a price. We anxiously awaited until this morning and she bid in the last few minutes. Now I just need to wait for them to get to her and then they will be coming stateside=D



They sit tight to the body and flow better than most mirrors I have seen. Some may wonder why I just didn't get ///M3 mirrors. I absolutely despise them and how they don't flow with the body in my mind=P haha

I ended up having a nice time yesterday installing all of my stainless hardware. The initial idea was to just replace all of the hardware you visually see. I now feel that is half assed and will be ordering all of the bolts I missed.

Before and after of the oil filter housing. Not sure why the wrinkle black looks shiny but it isnt in person.



I installed my TPS bolts


Threw the intake manifold together and put the valve cover in place to get an idea of how it will look.



Those were also took before I did the oil filter housing bolts for some reason. I also took all of the timing cover bolts out of their holes and put the stainless bolts in place for now. I like leaving hardware in the holes it belongs when I can so I don't have to label them and guess later.

Good riddens to all this nasty hardware


Hopefully a tiny update from tomorrow will be posted later in the day.
