All new everything
Rigged up
Torqued to 74 ft/lbs.
UPS should be delivering the SS slave cylinder line today. I'll get that installed and bleed the system. Tomorrow the DSSR should be here. More than likely will have to sand down the selector to make it work.
After that all I'll have to do is:
- Drive shaft
- Diff and axel
- Change oil
- Turbo gasket
- Cut the tial BOV spring a little
- Shifter gasket thing, boot and ZHP knob

Thanks!!
Must be nice to sit at home all day working on your car and taking pictures!
Haha! The life of a Realtor. I'm taking calls, scheduling appointments and wrapping up some accepted offers. I have a rental showing in Stallis at 5:30. Anyone want a 3br 2ba house for $1400?

Back in the garage...
Took the red/blk wire loop out of the door connector by splicing it out. Once I connected the wires something clicked in the central locking unit or interior light module. Good sign??
This might be the problem. Central Locking Unit.
Turned my attention to the stereo system.
Got a new sub amp. 600w Kenwood to replace my old 500w Alpine.
Also got new 3 new Stinger RC cables and routed them on the drivers side hopefully to eliminate the whining that matches the RPMs when they vary.
Headed back into the bimmer cave now!

Hooked up,the new amp and nada. Took the speaker out and tested the two coils. 2ohms a piece.
First one looks good.
Second one not so much.
Sorry for the iPad pics. Camera battery died.
Other things I got done.
- Tried to bleed the slave but the pedal doesn't feel right. It doesn't sit on the floor when pressed. It's spongie feel to it. I'm using an e36 m3 slave. Any tips? Also was using a vacuum pump on the slave bleeder while having my fiancée pump and hold the pedal.
- Cut a ring out of my BOV. I'll order the replacement springs tomorrow but there is no rush. The yellow spring was in there from Tial.
- Replaced the passenger side fog light. The old one had a crack in it.
- Cleaned up a bit.

Scooped up a new sub this morning.
Wired it up to 2 ohms and installed it.
My next project. Installing a working glove box to hide all this.
UPS just dropped of a small box! Into the garage!!

Got the DSSR in the mail.
Had to grind down the selector end a bit to make it fit. #Earl
At home.
The final piece to finish putting the interior back together.
E21 mounts and the powder coated brace. #Snap
Drive shaft bolted up, CSB preloaded, tunnel cover and powder coated brace installed.
Harness from the PO.
My E30 M3 interior from my old car. I need to clean and condition everything.
Where should I put these?? #Bassboy
