I love this build.
Can't wait to get mine running and check out your tail lights.
Thanks!
Waiting on you!! Let's run 'em.

My old timeline was wait until spring then start the build again, but I've actually been making good progress in the cold. New goal is to have everything buttoned up by spring and get it on the road as soon as the salt is gone.
I've been spending too much time parting the E39, but once its gone I will be able to work on the E30 much more efficiently with the extra room.
Thanks!
Waiting on you!! Let's run 'em.

Also what are you putting down?
Last time I dyno'd it it was 442whp at 13psi.
I'm now at 18psi with a slipping clutch... I just want to break the 500whp mark.
I also have to pop in a new t3 turbo gasket. Mine currently is venting to atmosphere.

Got around to doing a little work on the car while in my basement.
Popped of the foamy thing.
It was all oil mush.
Gently pry a bit.
Off she comes!
New vs. Old
Oiled up the gasket, took a 15mm socket and tapped it home.
After cleaning up the tar-ish residue on the rod popped on the new foamy thing on with the dowel held in by the snap ring.
Waiting for more small parts from pelican. They're getting a call tomorrow...

Got the clutch and flywheel out. Gotta love zipties!
A little slipping going on there. The pressure plate is a Sachs, clutch is a Southbend stage 4 and JB racing flywheel. Couldn't handle around 400ft/lbs.

Not sure. Bought the whole thing off of a guy on bimmerforums. I think it's just the disc.
