        I did a practice tap on my old valve cover and it turned out to be pretty easy and not nerve racking. I was nervous about how much metal would be left after the tapping but I think we'll be good!

        I also scuffed up my rain rails to prep them for painting.

          Update:  Tuesday the e30 will go on jack-stands as soon as I get the new passenger caliper and rear brakes on the M3. 

          E30 to do list:

          -I think I have sourced a drive-shaft that I will install.

          -My PLX wideband brain just arrived back from warranty work.  Throwing that in.

          -Oil pressure sensor back light and signal wire.

          -CCV

              -Pull valve cover

              -Tap

              -Die grind port for more flow.

          -Change trans fluid

          -Top off diff fluid and RTV seal speed sensor.

          -RTV seal ICV connector and brace hoses underneath intake manifold somehow.

          -Replace Wilwood rotors and front pads. 

          -Bleed front brakes.

          -Move BOV to brake booster vacuum.  Going to T into that.

          -Install fuel pressure regulator.

          And that's it!!

                                        Trying to find the motivation to climb under the car and do the driveshaft and trans/diff fluid.  I have a feeling that the guibo thing might have taken a crap.

                                          To fill trans fluid take out the shift boot and use a funnel with a hose from inside the car, no need to pump it in.
