      Hahaha, well seeing as the motor is now timed, Ill be at the shop working on it through out the weekend!  Im off tomorrow around 4 and also off on weekends.  The shop is just right in Waukesha off 164.  Im gonna be honest with you though, its not as appealing in person xD

        Yeah, after reading more into it I guess theyre not really ground plates at all.  My motor only had 1 ground strap on it, and m50's are supposed to have 2 I guess.  This might explain the random stutter problem that I sometimes had?

         it could be a part of it jo to napa and get another ground strap. there should be one in the middle on cylinder 3 and at the end on cylinder 6.

                -_______-  dont even start

                I also need to go to napa to get a longer stud for the passenger side motor mount.  Apparently the "m50 into e30" stud on the mount isnt long enough.  Must be the kind of mount arm I have.

                    Not sure.  I figured spending $100 on hard pieces of rubber would get me the right bolt length lol.  Not a big deal, just annoying.

                        Especially when I have a business account there and get sick discounts, hollaaa \m/   Tomorrow should be another productive day for the m50 though.

                          Yay, it's coming along well. Leaving my work last night, I decided to get a little sideways happy in the E28. :3 It's a love hate with this diff. Bad gas mileage, or awesome drifting when I feel the urge.

                            Hahahah yeah, you kinda gotta choose one or the other.  Good gas mileage and no drifting, or bad mileage with the ability to kick out the rear end at any given time 0.o

                                        I'm going to Waukesha this weekend to grab those motor mounts hopefully. You still have that hydro? I'm running new brake lines right now so that would be killer to do at the same time. Oh. And fuel cell? Maybe?
