    Only thing left to show up are the coils

    88cace11c51719fee7e660b98343810d.jpg

    Pads/lines/CSB/diff plugs showed up today

    As well as this gem front Blunttech

    bd172b3ef2377c0aaab1205f36dd31b5.jpg

    Also I lied, I have ate brake fluid&redline MTL showing up soon too. I was trolling craigslist in my area for shits and giggles and came across an ad for 2qts of redline 75w-90 and 2 gallons of BMW coolant. Guy wanted $50 for everything so I bought those as well-extra coolant isn't a bad thing to have on hand

              Remember, if you preload the csb more than once its considered playing with your driveshaft

                    Tricked myself into working on my car for 5 minutes

                    Got the DS back together with a new CSB. (Old one was installed incorrectly) -don't believe the Internet about installing the CSB "backwards" they are offset and put an angle on the DS at the CSB. I took a bunch of pics for the next thread I see about installing these backwards when using a 24v swap DS.

                    Also drained the old diff fluid

                    4480105aca9352f162816b52172097d3.jpg

                    Went to put new drain plugs in. And I don't have an Allen wrench in size massive. So I need to go pick up a new wrench tomorrow so I can tighten it and put the redline 75w-90 in

                      Put a bolt in it and a nut on the bolt, then use a socket to tighten it

                          To be fair, earls idea is pretty slick and the next time there is a worldwide macho allen shortage I will try to remember it

                            It is a nifty idea. But I'm probably in the same boat as I don't have a bolt that exact size

                              So went to Sears and some other places. Nobody had an Allen that large. So I just bought a bolt and a few nuts. Gonna use the earl method.

                                A hex socket set would probably have the right size, you can buy the gear wrench set at Sears or Advance Auto.

                                  Looked for those as well. No luck.

                                  Bolt & nuts worked fine

                                  Fluids in and plugs are tioght

                                    I used a short bolt with a nut and welded them together. On the e36 you can't fit anything longer between the dif and spare tire well when in the car.

                                      New trans fluid is in. Went with redline MTL. also made a list which I immediately regretted. Pretty much ran out of cardboard.

                                          Coilovers are due to ship in about a week.

                                          In the meantime I've been looking at buying new wheels/rubber. I have it narrowed down to 15x8 so I can run the bfg rivals 205/50/15. They seem to run bigger. Pics of them on 8s actually look relatively square which I'm happy about. Or the hankook rs-3 in 225/45/15. Both will fit and be relatively square and cost pretty much the same .

                                          Trying to narrow down some wheels. They need to be 15x8, light, affordable and look okay. I'd also rather not run spacers but will if I have to

                                          So far:

                                          15x8

                                          $109 each

                                          15x8
