This thing is looking great! Keep it up!

I removed my E30 overflow and went with the M42 style radiator.
I have to bleed it with my mouth O__O
What do you gain from this other than tasty kool-aid when servicing the system?

So I just want to put in a plug for AKG, parts look great, prices were best by far, even on the oem kit for the rear subframe mounts. But better than that is the speed. +1 for buying local.
Thursday: placed order 2:05 PM
UPS tracking said they had the package at 3:55pm
Friday: package delivered 3:03PM
And that was with the cheapest shipping option.

Reinforcements.
Got the rear suspension dissasembled.
What on earth is this thing for? Vibration damping?
Had my helper.
She was running the ratchet good until she saw the camera, then she just wanted her picture taken.
First look in 45k, looks like the Royal Purple is doing it's job.
Ben (bfinley) came over and helped me swap the intake cam. Got lucky that this reman head was an obd2 head with 33mm lifters already, so it was a quick drop in swap. First time swapping a cam and it was actually really easy, turned so cylinder 1 was the only one with pressure on it and removed all of the other caps then slowly brought the cap between the #1 lobes up and reverse to install new one (m54b30).

She will be 2 in May, her hair is so long that she looks older, it is fun when she comes out to "help" me. I hope that doesn't change when she gets older.
The head was a clean reman one when I put it on, that's after 5yrs/45k. I use Royal Purple HPS 5w-30 changed about every 10k, with a filter change about every 5k.
Edit: HPS not XPS

And it's also cheaper than changing conventional at 3, even if you disregard the filter change. Also more time spent driving, less time changing oil...
$3/qt conventional x7(3) = $63
+3 filters at $8 = $24
=$87
$8.30/qt amazon price RP HPS x 7 = 58.10
+ 2 filters at $8 = $16
=$74.10
