E30 M50 tear down kinda thing
-
So I just got back from Texas the other day. Needless to say the weather here still blows lol. While I was gone, my dad brought my strut bar to a customer of his to have it chemically stripped down to a raw finish like it was suppose to be. I thought that was a cool surprise. Should be getting it back this week! Other news is that I got my inner ball joints too, hopefully getting everything pressed in and out this week. Still need to call Andy to have him swing by and time my motor. But it's good to be back, and I'm excited to get going on this car again!

Anyone know what this part is?
This part, posts no picture.

very nice progress. one thing that bothers me is that bracket placement for the hydro rear brakes will be very unfortunate to your knee/leg if you were to wreck. it would be terribly ironic if your samurai themed hydro setup actually sliced your leg open...

It did not sir.. Haha
I found the part, nevermind
  Its just a little beat up.very nice progress. one thing that bothers me is that bracket placement for the hydro rear brakes will be very unfortunate to your knee/leg if you were to wreck. it would be terribly ironic if your samurai themed hydro setup actually sliced your leg open...
I definitely see what you're saying. Keep in mind the blade of the samurai sword is completely removed, but still. I could always put some foam on the brackets too. It wouldn't look as clean but it'd save my knees in the case of me hitting a wall. I will probably do that before bringing it to the track again.
In other news, I contacted the bmw tech, and my motor should be timed sometime this week
I also finished up the lines for the new hydro tonight. I cant wait to test this thing out!

It's in the hands of the bimmer gods now, Earl.
And Brian I'm going to be driving this thing everywhere once it's done! I have a new goal in mind for when I want it done so we will see.
Elaborate! I'm curious to see what you're planning!

Not saying anything yet! I have a date in mind that I want it to be done by. Id rather not say because I dont want to say it will be done at said date, then blow it and mess something up and have to wait more.

How about have it done by the time, we can go to H2oi together, I hope to god we can embark on that journey
I was actually planning on bringing the e46 to that, just to be comfy, have a/c, music, leather, not racecar, ect. Lol. But if you're willing to bring the e28, Im willing to bring the e30

Well, I was told if I show up, I gotta bring the E28, otherwise I'll get roofied. So either way works for me. I don't mind being roofied, I guess
-
Sounds like a win-win to me?
yessir. Maybe, idk yet.
If we just take your car that'd be rad. Cause the E28 bottoms out on bumps easily
-
I'll be making the h20 trip as well;) Maybe we can room together.
OH YOU'RE GOING NOW TOO? Guess we're just gunna go to automotion Jake, bagged cars only...
Just kidding, the room thing, not sure. I was told by a fellow S|W'er that we could stay in his cabin. :3
