        i had a compressor on my e30 to operate an air horn, that got annoying in like 1 day.  are higher quality systems quieter? (excuse my noobness on the topic)

          High quality ones are much quieter. I have two Viair 444c's.

            Helps to have rubber mounts to keep some of the vibrations to a minimum.

              So, I swung by Earl today to check out his progress.  I snapped a quick pic, even though he asked me not to.  Gotta say it wasn't what I was expecting:

                    Saturday was spent waiting for a package that needed to be signed for. That package never came=/ It was late in the afternoon and I didn't feel like driving 45 minutes to the shop to do a half hour of work.

                    I did end up spraying my air tank in satin clear to keep the textured paint from rubbing off.

                    I also ended up removing all of these suckers from the OZ barrels:

                    IMG20130511141749zps7fba34b4.jpg

                    Hopefully the package that I was waiting on comes today. I will be ordering most of the engine parts I need to start throwing it back together after I get the timing cover off.

                    I'm hoping that wednesday I can assemble and install the subframe so that I can take the car to get the bay welded up=) After that I can disassemble it again to do the wheel bearings. Yay

                        I'm placing an order on ECS tuning for everything that I can think of that I will need to put this whole thing back together. Surprisingly the total is only $365.

                          Well I finally have a somewhat exciting update=)

                          Tuesday I missed a package, but did end up getting my box from Germany.
                          IMG20130514143353zpsb497fcc9.jpg

                          And the contents (plus another set of tail lights)
                          IMG20130514145008zps54172b39.jpg

                          Yesterday I tackled installing the euro glovebox. Here is a comparison between the two gloveboxes.
                          IMAG1124zpsfcb097fa.jpg

                          I removed the metal piece under my dash to find two brackets. One was welded to the dash frame, and the other was bolted to the radio surround. Getting at the bolts for the one on the radio surround sucked. After about 15 minutes of cussing I got it off.
                          IMAG1089zpsd86d26ae.jpg
                          IMAG1125zps42a52912.jpg

                          I then covered my wires under the dash and broke out the angle grinder to remove the mount from the dash frame.

                          IMAG1127zps4cc34f53.jpg

                          That orange piece is another melted crayon that I found under the console. That brings the total to 3.

                          Then I quickly installed the new glovebox.
                          IMG20130515154047zps123a6cfc.jpg

                          It needs a little tweaking, but I love it=) I also installed a new handbrake handle, but I didn't take a picture since it is nothing special.

                          I headed home after this to see if my package had arrived. Let the pictures do the talking.

                          IMAG1133zps79fb1477.jpg

                          The 3.5" lip is wider than my phone is tall=) I am very excited to get these wheels assembled and fitted. I will be sand blasting my barrels today because a scotchbrite pad wasn't working as well as I thought it would.

                          Updates to come after Saturday.

                              What do you need a glovebox for? 

                              What kind of gloves will you be carrying?

                                I actually might purchase a pair of driving glove for this sir. Keep that wood grain nice and polished.

                                  That quote above is trippy. It says I replied to the quote at 9:26, but Brians post is said to have happened at 9:28...

                                      Why are the quotes times different than your post time? Look at every quote, and then its original post. WOAH!!!

                                        Because you are a damned wizard and a troll, that is why.
