      I cleaned up my valve cover (it used to be blue  :confused: ) and replaced some vacuum lines. I was going to adjust my valves again but they all check out good :cool: . I adjusted my TPS again...it has been giving me problems (3x adjusting). I just got my hands on a replacement but have yet to install it.

          Just the upper timing cover and parts of intake. It is a donor motor and PO did not clean anything before install. It looked really cool with a blue valve cover  :huh:

              On the E46 I have a bunch of parts that I'm waiting for a weekend day to break 35 degrees in order to instal. So far I have, AKG 95A poly FCABS,

              AKG 95A poly RTABS,    AKG 75D poly steering coupler,    UUC blue isolated transmission mounts,  replacement control arms,   my custom Coby Wheel alcantarra steering wheel,  and a 1x1 weave CSL rear diffuser. 

              The E36 is getting a whole bunch of AKG 75D poly bushings, the 75D steering coupler, an all aluminum radiator, and Dunlop ZII tires, and possibly reworking the exhaust once again because it is unholy loud still.

              This winter just need to friggen end so I can get to work

                  Will do, I'm pretty excited to see how it feels! Especially because the factory one is on its way out in both cars.

                          Once spring/summer hits. I gotta put my motor back in. then finish the stereo I am working on. 2 alternators, 3 batteries, 6 runs of 1/0 ga. 2 12"s on 6500watts RMS. Zed audio 6 channel for the front stage and a Pioneer P99RS HU to control it all.

                            Have some parts stacking up. If only spring would come around one of these months...

                              Is that how most of you guys do it? Just buy parts all winter and then work on your car come spring? Man it sucks not having a heated shop. I just end up working at the machine shop on my cars... but there is only so much you can do.

                                Planned on doing some work on my e36 this winter, just haven't had much free time. The cold doesn't help much either! Got some goodies for my touring, just waiting to pull it out of my storage once it's nice out. That ones getting a bit of a facelift...

                                      I think that's right. I just need 1/4 inch ID instead of the 1/16 that's in there now.
