  • E30 Picnic 2018

    What a great turnout!  It was great catching up with some of you and looking forward to the next meet to talk to the rest!  

    Milo, my son, got to see his Dad's car at an e30 picnic.  I had to sit him down and talk to him afterwards to explain that an e30, not on jack stands, is a rare sight!  I mean this when I say, Congrats to all of us who made it!

    This. That douchey, high-horsed response is exactly what would drive me to never give someone my business. 

    It's not high horse at all. I actually offered to help as I knew more then likely what the issue was which I posted up before. I am stating a fact which you can think as you please. This was not ment to be a bad statement but a true statement that's is all. I know John Moliter personally so it wasn't an attack against him. No worries on getting more business, that's one part I don't have a problem in.

    I feel like you're hovering over waiting for the "I told you so" moment. If you were to offer basic help here and there I would recommend people to your shop and might even take my car to you when I don't have time to do the work myself.

    However, by responding they way you did and sounding like you're on your high horse, the way you do time and time again, I will never refer you any business. I will thank you for reigniting the fire for me to complete the job myself.

    It's spelled Molitor.

    Parts are slowly being pulled and making their way onto the 40x48" pallet!  Please excuse the blue & red text.  That is the seller and I both adding items to the list.

    -S62 exhaust manifolds

    -M5 Collectors

    -Intake assemblies w/MAFs

    -Cowl to cover wiring harness. Will be brittle.

    -M5 Fuel lines We need to see whats actually different. But I can include whatever we need. If it isn't a big to-do, I would love to get as many of the lines as possible.  Looks like the lines coming into and out of the filter/regulator are different. I believe you are correct up until the regulator its the same after its a bit different as m5 uses a return line.

    Slowly progressing towards a Daytona Prototype motor 😂 this is awesome!

    I bit the bullet and had Partee Racing do the bottom end as well.  Shipped the heads back to Partee Racing for them to assemble the motor. High compression pistons, Arrow rods, all new everything.  Almost ready to throw it into the wagon!

    It has been awhile since I gave an update.  Lots has been happening! Popped on an Active Autowerks supercharger, 4.10 gears with a drexler LSD, CSL King Pins and new bearings, CSL steering rack and all new power steering lines and reservoir, replaced the cam bolts and did a valve adjustment (2 were out of spec), valve cover gasket, manual swap with a JB Racing lightweight flywheel and HD Sach clutch, ZHP shift knob and a short shifter, and turned 200k miles on the car (motor probably has 130k-ish on it), and some 18" Apex wheels wrapped in PS4s 245 front, 275 rears.

    First, family of 4, road trip to Door County was a success!

    Need to work out a few bugs and find & fix a new slow leak in the rear air suspension.  

    Bugs include: 

    - Code IKE to S62 coolant temp.  Getting an engine light due to coolant temp mismatch. (Need to swap back in 540i cluster to get the NCS software to work then swap back M5 cluster.  Need all VIN numbers to match in the modules otherwise I can't code.)

    - Look into fuel tank purge valve.  Getting a code from that not doing it's job for one reason or another. 

    - Adjust headlights.
