Replace all of them? LOL
@snapsby said he replaced 2/4, also I’m interested if my trouble shooting skills are shit. If I replace it and it still makes noise I’ll replace more lol
-
Both passenger side bearings were replaced.
between texts and forum posts im getting mixed up on which corners are getting replaced.

Ended up replacing the PS front, fixed and now it’s in storage
Should be able to get done what I need to get done in the shop space. Time will tell

Lol
basically all I ended up doing was moving the suspension from the red car to the black car.
Also currently in progress of moving the zf from the red car to the black car
plan is to sell the red car once it’s back together and sell the supercharger separately
the two car thing would be neat and I’ve kicked around turning the red one into a winter autox car but I hardly drive anything anymore so might as well sell it to someone who can get some use out of it
Photo evidence of trans removal attached

Picnic or bust!
that would be too much excitement for me

Someday when I come to Eau Claire I'd like to ride in an E30 instead of your truck.

Plenty of gusto, was more worried about it blowing apart the universal wobbly joint part of the connection but it went well.
Thats my favorite tool. M18 fuel high torques. So much nut busting

Let us know how getting those top two bolts on the ZF go.
Im hoping all the fucking around experience the Miata has beaten into me will translate into some patience with my own car (I have my doubts)
-
possible to cut access openings into the trans tunnel for removing the e30 24v transmissions top bolts? I know one day when I have to do the clutch I'd like to avoid engine removal and/or excessive cursing. stripping the interior down would be a cake walk compared to pulling the engine.

it’ll be alright, just might take some time

They do similar things for race cars. Have little access panels cut in the body to access things easier. It definitely can be done.
You could probably cut one in the trans tunnel under the HVAC control panel. Getting a larger piece or replacement material to cover the opening, have some flat head bolts that protrude into the trans tunnel so the carpet sits flat, and put a little bit of gasket between the two surfaces to seal it.
Or maybe it would need to be closer to the firewall? Is it almost impossible to access them with the ZF? I am praying that I don't have to do this just to get my new slave cylinder in...
