‘91 E30

Black interior is so much better than tan (IMO). So today I pulled everything and replaced it with the black interior from the red car. Basically robbed Peter to pay Paul.

anyways, obviously as the pics show I didn’t do the carpet because I want to keep driving the car and pulling the carpet and dyeing it sounds like a longer-than-2-hour-affair so it stays for now. At least gave me a chance to vacuum the years of snaps Cheerios out and fix my droopy black door cards lol

Currently have the fx1 in as a driver seat stand in for the autox tomorrow

Whoa!

Black speaker covers were from red car and the shelf I dyed black a couple years ago. Now that you bring this up I also forgot to change out the front speaker covers

Glad to see this has stayed on the forum.

I will also being dyeing the carpet black. Can't wait to pull that out of the car...

@snap I need to get down to mke so you can experience the fun

also, for the 1-2 shift issues I had during the first autox, I just shifted sooner and slower. Seemed to work fine, still annoyed that you can’t ramrod it home. 

Had the car on re71r and tossed my corbeau in it. Night and day difference. 

I am going to be rebleeding the brakes and removing some fluid in the process as the reservoir is weeping from the cap

Ordered rear wheel bearing/lock plate/snap ring. Left rear is starting to howl, noticed when I had my windows up on the way to work this morning. 

Time to bust out the slide hammer and hate myself

Alright so I always assumed it was passenger rear because that wheel/hub has a tiny touch of play in it - but driving to work this morning and doing some zig zagging I believe it is the front passengers side howling

I will still be replacing the left rear anyways because the play bothers me.

@snapsby said he replaced 2/4, also I’m interested if my trouble shooting skills are shit. If I replace it and it still makes noise I’ll replace more lol

Ended up replacing the PS front, fixed and now it’s in storage

Should be able to get done what I need to get done in the shop space. Time will tell

Lol

basically all I ended up doing was moving the suspension from the red car to the black car. 

Also currently in progress of moving the zf from the red car to the black car  

plan is to sell the red car once it’s back together and sell the supercharger separately

the two car thing would be neat and I’ve kicked around turning the red one into a winter autox car but I hardly drive anything anymore so might as well sell it to someone who can get some use out of it 

Photo evidence of trans removal attached
