          Nope, didn't have the remote oil filter, but it was something I swore to add when I had my wagon.

          With a turbo and whatnot in there, it's way more of a pain to get the filter off the stock location than it should be. In this spot i should just be able to lay on the ground and reach up to get it off. Also the added bonus of there not being anything scalding hot nearby. 

          Good call, the e36 cartridge filter setup is awesome but the m20 one up by the exhaust manifolds is silly, would be much better remote mounted.  One thing that may be even better is if you can mount it so the filter hangs vs. sideways, then it doesn't pour all over when removing the old one.

            Yeah, I'm a big fan of the e36 filter setup. That'll be the next revision to my setup... when i swap in a m52 in a year or two. 

            Once I get the fender on I'll see about tweaking the mounting a bit, but that's a good thought.

              Yeah, i think so too. I'm a big fan of this front end, and it's pretty uncommon.

                Brakes are bled. 

                It's running lean, so I was hunting down vacuum leaks, but ran out of time because this thing is way too loud to run after 9pm in the neighborhood. 

                Oil filter lines were leaking thanks to the included orings. Replacing with aluminum crush washers.

                Hopefully tomorrow I can at least drive it down our street.

                  Do you have any 16" wheels? 😃

                    16" wheels don't fit over monster brakes, but regardless I wouldn't run 16s anyway.

                      That sucks. I just always liked the look of 16's on these cars. 15's seem too small and 17's just seem a touch big. Your contours did fit quite nice though.

                          No burnout videos?

                                I drove it to work today and yesterday, I'm a bit surprised you didn't hear it!

                                Still hoping I have time to stop by the e30 picnic on Saturday, but there's soooo much to do yet. We'll see.
