    Those wheels seem more suited to a JDM VIP build.

    Zip ties and sheet metal screws, I guess I wont feel so bad when I weld the jack pads together with angle iron to hold the chassis together.

    Gave away my BMWs, driving a VW and an Audi now.

    Where are the sheet metal screws? If you are talking about the overfenders, those are 1/4-20 rivnuts with stainless steel hardware. I do love my zipties though lol

    changed my mobil 1 atf in my getrag 250 to redline lightweight shockproof in an attempt to stop my second gear grinding. one lap around the block proved unsuccessful, but I'll need to drive it more. it sucks.

    Sounds more like a bad synchro. Try adding a tube of LiquiMoly MoS2 in it if you haven't already. May help a bit.

    Took the past 2 days off to finish the winter build for the car, but I got my clutch/flywheel/pressure plate back in, did the shift pins in the transmission to fix the 5th gear lean, installed shifter bushings, finished up the M50 manifold swap, redid all of my vacuum lines, rebuilt the injectors, and got my new tires mounted on the new wheels. Next up is finishing the brake lines, suspension, and diff (LSD) swap, then fixing the LCD issue on the odometer, then I can fire it up and hope everything works as planned

    Getting ready to take it out of winter storage on the 20th. Just bought a bluetooth dongle for the radio, and I'm buying new summer tires in a few days. Contemplating on swapping my manual front seats for some e46 powered sport seats.

    I’m not a fan of shockproof in a street car. The shockproof diff fluid made an e46M3 diff make noise when cold and at a lock. Switching to non shock or RP fixed. Good products, I change my Getrags oil every 2nd or 3rd oil change with dino synchromesh. 300K+ no issues since 60K

    I believe that's the outside air temperature sensor.

    Ripped the cluster out to try and fix the glitchy looking odometer. I didn't know how to resolder pins on the motherboard so I just put the cluster back in and slid her around a construction site ��, now I've done proper research, so that will wait until next weekend with my hydro brake install!

    Exapanion tank o ring won't let the coolant leak upwards. It's something above. Either the cap, bleed screw or small hose

    Think I have the placement for my Hydro Down, want to retain the rear most Cup holder so we will see how that works with the reservoir, going to have to get crafty but I want to keep as much Interior as possible.



    Its the last month of this semester so most likely will be too busy to complete my dual caliper set up until then. I should prob re-vamp my build thread :P

    My E36 and I invented a thing today.
    Handle Bars 1.jpg
    doesn't quite clear the exhaust. Unfortunately I will have to buy and bend another bar, but it will work in this position.
    Basically, I just needed to take 2" out of the center and it will fit.
