-_______-  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.

wow who screwed that one up?

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.

napa's love the people that come back for little things like this.

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 may be in the area tomorrow around noon-1p so if you need a hand with anything I may be able to help.

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?

Unfortunately I sold the hydro already, sorry bud.  But you can check out the fuel cell if you want.  I guess its first come first serve?  I dont really have a use for it.

yes^!!!

Also pointing out that I pretty much went full retard yesterday.  The reason the motor mount stud wasnt long enough was because the mount arm was upside down.  I forgot the motor sits so tilted and that the mount should be close to the headers.  Whoops

ha it happens after working on them for a while

Worked on the motor late last night but ended up getting overwhelmed when I got to the harness/fuel rail. Hopefully having so better luck today.
