Hello. My name is Dan, and today I doomsday prepped
-
crisis temporarily averted. with some 3/4 hose and random fittings (whatever they had in stock) i was able to make a bypass section. see you all on saturday.
Dan

yup, actually very easy with losing coolant from only that section of the system. also took it for a 10 min drive up to operating temp, then parked it - not going to touch it till Saturday morning for fear something else goes wrong.

I keep that hose repair tape in my on-board tool kit. It saved me once when I was in high school.
I didn't know it could be used for that...

some sun came through friday night after washing the car. got out the camera to document the only moment when this car might be perfectly clean from here on out. (don't forget I am daily driving this car)

Beautiful E30!

thanks, dudes!
Wow, very nice shots! 2nd one is my favorite. We really need to take more nice photos with the group.
i agree. wish it had not been raining saturday so the camera could have come out.

no, not if I can help it. but i also don't have indoor storage, so that doesn't help the cause.

CABs switch to solid lollipops today, as well as a new shifter bushing.
having the passenger side CAB not resting on my exhaust reduced some cabin noise as expected. i still do have an odd rattle when starting from a stop in that same area that I thought would have been the exhaust, but it did not go away. *shrug*
also, first road trip with the car this weekend. time for some backroad blasting

What engine mounts do you have dan?
-
I was just barely able to get the old bushings pulled from the arms with a 3-jaw gear puller. They were already offset bushings so I had to use unequal length arms on the puller and drill a hole in the end of the control arm to keep the threaded rod from traveling off.
Engine mounts are r3vshift

did some work on both cars today.
scored a sweet e28 mtech I spoiler already in alpine from andy - thanks dude.
new holes drilled
the center 4 holes are close enough to the stock locations that access from inside the trunk lid is easy
however, the outside two are much wider, so cutting the openings inside the trunk lid is necessary to get the nuts on there.
and voila!
had the same setup on my last e30 and loved it. photo circa 2012
on my roadtrip up north last weekend, some dickweed trailering a boat left stuff in the boat (life jackets, fishing poles, etc) while traveling on the freeway, and they proceeded to jettison while I was driving behind him. it cost me a high beam lens and some scratches. ordered a replacement DEPO set to get parts off and installed them.
i also deactivated the bumper running lights and hooked up my amber LEDs that I installed into the low beams when doing my retrofit. here is the result:
last step is to get the fogs working independently
