Let us know how the steering coupler is. I have been thinking about getting one.

Will do, I'm pretty excited to see how it feels! Especially because the factory one is on its way out in both cars.

My steering coupler is on it's way if not gone already as well.  I'm interested to hear how the new one is.

What Im doing to my car... hmm....

From this:

To this:

Im coupe swapping the cab and doing a small tail/euro bumper conversion.  Also M20B23 motor swap.  Also a pedal delete, which then I shall reverse.  

This is what Im planning at least.

Once spring/summer hits. I gotta put my motor back in. then finish the stereo I am working on. 2 alternators, 3 batteries, 6 runs of 1/0 ga. 2 12"s on 6500watts RMS. Zed audio 6 channel for the front stage and a Pioneer P99RS HU to control it all.

Have some parts stacking up. If only spring would come around one of these months...

[Rowleym]

Is that how most of you guys do it? Just buy parts all winter and then work on your car come spring? Man it sucks not having a heated shop. I just end up working at the machine shop on my cars... but there is only so much you can do.

Planned on doing some work on my e36 this winter, just haven't had much free time. The cold doesn't help much either! Got some goodies for my touring, just waiting to pull it out of my storage once it's nice out. That ones getting a bit of a facelift...

I think that's right. I just need 1/4 inch ID instead of the 1/16 that's in there now.

I ordered my summer tires today!  Falken Ziex ze912!

[mkoepp]

Replace my alternator bushings. I could not keep the belt tight. They do look a little worn.

 

[andyhundley]

Too much stuff to do and so little free time!

Installed new front brake pads, corrected toe-in issue in front, pulled both front coils, re-set ride height and coil preload, and packed car up for tomorrow.
