    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.

    This is what Rat has been up to. Installing a $5000 inverter from a yacht into the barn that he got for free.

      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.

                                        Good idea!  That never crossed my mind.  That was one of the things I was dreading.
