The slave is being warrantied, BluntTech is a great guy, and it is the correct one.
I am thinking that it has something to do with the clutch and being a non factory item. I may call up spec and see if this has ever been an issue.

What did you do to secure your oil pump nut?

Drilled a hole in it and safety wired it.

Got megasquirt working again with the new harness and fuel system and could hear hissing near the fuel filter. Hardline decided it didn't want to stay intact. Cool.
Was a bit of a pain to get the whole line down but I got it and ordered a new one.
Slave cylinder came in and I installed that, bled it and tested it. On one of the first few pressed I heard the slave pushrod (loudly) shoot off to the side of the clutch fork. This is the second time this has happened. Cool. I will be dropping the trans tomorrow to see what the heck is going on in there. Not too thrilled to have to pull the trans, but it is what it is.
Updates tomorrow!

Its the second slave I have used. They have both done the same thing.

Looks good on paper.
Sucks about the transmission having to come out again. Can't wait for this thing to be on the road.

So a week or so ago I pulled the engine to figure out what was going on with the clutch, turned out that the TOB was in and rotated incorrectly. Simply spun it 90 degrees and everything was in good shape.
Got the engine back together and ready to go
Tip it a lot to get started
Kind of a shoehorn deal.
Got the front end mostly assembled, forgot what she looked like with a face!
The car has aftermarket tail lights that I was always impartial on, so I took some stock taillights and got the corners red and popped them in, I quite like it.
Old
New
Made some ground cables for the frame rail to the engine mount arm, turned out pretty good.
Saw this at the dealer when I went to pick up a gasket, pretty sweet little car!
And last but not least, my important question! I am debating between running dual 2.5" exhaust tips or dual 3" tips. Let me know which one you like better!
3"
2.5"
3"
2.5"
I am leaning towards 2.5" , let me know what you think!
-
True!
Just ordered the 3" to dual 2.5" Y pipe, so 2.5" it will be! Which means I need to buy 2.5" stainless now...
I forgot to mention that every single exhaust piece is 304 stainless, and holy crap did that get expensive quick. I got 18' of 3" tube, so I probably got way too much considering my resonator is 25" but its better to give the guy more than not enough!
That last one took a bit, the oil drain line almost touches the manifold and I didn't want it to end up looking like crap so I wrapped each portion of the fittings individually, I think it turned out pretty decent.
-
I liked the 3" tips, but 2.5" will look good too. I'll buy a foot of that 3" stainless if you have any left over. Gotta delete the muffler on my car
Gold looks good. Factory tails look good. Your face looks good.
Are you going to get actual tips or just use some stainless pipe?
-
I browsed tips and they all looked silly, almost all e30's just have pipes out the back and that is what looks best in my opinion.

I need to see you and leadballs duke it out (on a closed course in Mexico with professional drivers)
