Chapter GMW | E30 LS1 (starting on post #1427)

As of now I'm spinning a ton in 4th and a little in 5th. Both hands on the wheel and eyes up are a necessity. I just demolished a modded STi Friday night 3-5th to 130. #h3gon3

Edit after more driving. When the tires are hot she doesn't spin in 5th. 4th just a little if I'm going straight but if I turn hang on! 3rd is squealing like the dude in Deliverance.

Update:
My ICV connector to the head is still popping out when boosting after I installed a new one. I have to figure out how to latch that thing down. I don't want to do epoxy so maybe some RTV and strap her down. Ideas TJ?
The hood is on
Things to do:
-Tap my valve cover to 3/4 NPT and pray that the AN fittings clear my fuel rail and that I don't crack the cover!
-Install the fuel pressure regulator and crank her up to 60#.
-Wire up the dimmer lights for the boost and oil pressure gauge.
I should get these tasks done this week!
Doctor Out.

Make sure that icv connector is actually seating correctly and clipping in. I'd try a bit of rtv if all else looks good. At least you'll still be able to remove it if you need to.
I did. The top part pops out I think a zip tie and some rtv should do the trick.

Zip tie and some RTV. Man. That's gangster
It really goes with the theme of the whole build.

That's all Pegasus had. Trying to support the local business. Maybe in the future.

I love that place.
Me too. They have been a huge help throughout this build. I walk in like a blind child and walk out like I won 24 hours of Le Mans.
Speedholes FTW! Looks good Jsir
Haha. Thanks!!

The M3 is in the garage on a jack stand awaiting a new passenger caliper or a front BBK to replace the frozen caliper. I'd like to do the BBK route but sourcing a used set seems like it will take some time so Concours here I come!
Pic to come.
Now the real test. Daily the E30!! Kind of excited, not going to lie. My first appointment today is with a job relocation via Johnson Controls and I guess the guy is originally from Germany. Will the E30 do the selling for me?? We shall see.
