Chapter GMW | E30 LS1 (starting on post #1427)

The wheel looks too modern for the car. Also, how do you fill up the trans from there? I'm just curious, as I haven't owned a manual prior to the winter E28
2ft of clear hose and that funnel. Pop the hose into the side fill hole and start pouring! So much easier than the pump method.

Brakes done. Just gotta hit them with some paint. Gold rotors??? Maybe just black.

Oh, so theres a legit fill hole that you can access through the shift boot? Wonder if my Getrag 265 has one.

dark bronze color plz
That looks pretty good!

There isn't a fill hole through the boot. I just pulled mine up to access. You have to lead the hose to the fill hole while underneath the car. It isn't directly under the shifter.

I just popped my drive shaft back in after flipping the csb around. Installed it backwards, oops.
While I was down there I took some close up pics of my exhaust. They go in order of front to back. Pics are of the weld/mounting points.

Crank Case is on vacuum!
Beat the crap out of her last night and she was all good!!
I might have to close up the plug gap a little more and make sure all the plugs have the open side facing away from the intake so I don't blow out the spark. It slightly broke up a couple of times.
I smoked a modded, newer GTO last night! Ha! Dude was shocked.
Time to boost her up!!! I might go 18-22psi. I'm at 14psi now after fixing a leak I've had since the beginning.

Car looks great John! IMO, it would look much cleaner with some black elbows for the intercooler.
Thanks buddy!
Pegasus only had the blue ones. Black ones are on the list for sure.

Writing down another update to keep me organized.
Things to do:
- Swing by radio shack for a 5amp inline fuse for the wideband brain.
- Buy a new VDO oil pressure gauge that works with my sending unit.
- Install glove box
- Install trunk lock.
- I also need to cut some more of my fenders off in the rear.
- Clean up the grill and fender mounts. #easy
Who has re-keyed their locks? Please school me on this guys!
After doing some work to the BOV I found out that I had a pinched ICV barbed hose fitting which had to be leaking badly. I kind of already mentioned this...Now can this snow go away?!?!

Agree with TJ, this thing is tits, aside from those blue couplers.
Idk if this was mentioned, but what turbo are you running?
The turbo is a TO4E 67mm .82 T3 P-trim J-bearing. Not huge but I'm not going for 900hp. I want to max this out to its full efficiency. I still have to figure out what that will be though. HA!
Can you paint silicone? I'm trying to get away from this money pit nickel and dimein' me unless I really need something. (That reminds me I need to order some transmission mounts. My passenger side mount is ripping!)

Just ordered 10 NGK 4554 plugs. Gonna gap them to .021 and have them all pointing open end away from the intake. Because RACECAR!

Also just ordered my Condor Speed Shop trans. mounts.
