Chapter GMW | E30 LS1 (starting on post #1427)
-
I did a practice tap on my old valve cover and it turned out to be pretty easy and not nerve racking. I was nervous about how much metal would be left after the tapping but I think we'll be good!
I also scuffed up my rain rails to prep them for painting.
This is what Rat has been up to. Installing a $5000 inverter from a yacht into the barn that he got for free.

Update: Tuesday the e30 will go on jack-stands as soon as I get the new passenger caliper and rear brakes on the M3.
E30 to do list:
-I think I have sourced a drive-shaft that I will install.
-My PLX wideband brain just arrived back from warranty work. Throwing that in.
-Oil pressure sensor back light and signal wire.
-CCV
-Pull valve cover
-Tap
-Die grind port for more flow.
-Change trans fluid
-Top off diff fluid and RTV seal speed sensor.
-RTV seal ICV connector and brace hoses underneath intake manifold somehow.
-Replace Wilwood rotors and front pads.
-Bleed front brakes.
-Move BOV to brake booster vacuum. Going to T into that.
-Install fuel pressure regulator.
And that's it!!

Trying to find the motivation to climb under the car and do the driveshaft and trans/diff fluid. I have a feeling that the guibo thing might have taken a crap.

To fill trans fluid take out the shift boot and use a funnel with a hose from inside the car, no need to pump it in.
Good idea! That never crossed my mind. That was one of the things I was dreading.
