Hello, guy, where is the sequel? what happened?

[gianni_blanco]

Damn this was moving so nice!

[whacka]

updates?

[Cadaverous]

Thanks fellas.

I discovered the most heartbreaking thing. My LSD is not an LSD Someone swapped out the internals. I have just a open 3.25 that might not even be a 3.25.

MUCH IRRITATED. I wasted a metric ton of time on that diff.







Also, I got something! after a long wait my Zender has arrived!






Got my mtech II spoiler mounted up. Man drilling holes in the trunk is stressful. It's not seated in all the way in the photos.




Got myself a 24v skid plate, and a s52 'LUK' clutch from Rockauto. Turned out it was a SACHS. It was $50 cheaper than the SACHS clutch. Note, Rockauto also had Luk Flywheels for only $390 much cheaper than the $520 price I found anywhere else.

There should be major movement on the project in the next few weeks.

Got some stuff done. Pan is on, valve cover, coil packs, plugs, and headers. $60 worth of exhaust hardware was fun to put on. Also worked on shaving down the bay.







Hmm. Hope I can get it all back together. I pulled all the harness out of the bay so I can get it really cleaned up.

I **** the calypso color...maybe because its just too "cranberry" and reminds me of a van my shop just detailed for a woman whose kids thrashed it.hahaa other than that sweet car! Started as the average unloved e30 and now its looking to crank.

Epic build so far, respect for doing all the work yourself

[Cadaverous]

you just made me want to buy an e30.

Doooo et.

Just a heads up, some pictures don't work on previous pages.

Thanks mate, I'll figure out what's gone wrong and fix them.




So, I'm going to shave all the shit I don't need out of the bay. I feel like the more I get done, the more I have to do. I'm keeping the AC, and converting to 134a.







Motor getting some love.







Traded some OBX headers for some ebay headers. Also got the engine cleaned up, and ready for paint. It's way more work than one would expect.
