Good taste=) He must have twice the infatuation with m20's as you

Wife just confirmed my son swiped it from someone else's toy bin last night.


Glad he is turning the right direction instead of playing with his shuttle bus and civic hatchback, despite the pilfering that occurred.

I feel at home when I'm on this forum.

Someone was obviously driving a 1975 Concrete Curb LX

Switched injectors out last night and it runs quite a bit better. Not perfect, but better. 
I also put the cooling system back together on it. 

My plan? Connect the clutch hydraulics (so little space!) and go beat on it and see how it goes. 

Unlike e30s, you can fit a 9" wide wheel with ease and you have a nice selection of wheels that will actually fit. The storms are lightweight and relatively inexpensive. Very popular with miatas, as well as 6ul and Jongbloed or whatever they are called. She had these powder coated white because she is insane

As much as I would enjoy continuing to stir this pot I'll add a touch of context to my comment.
 

Pent up temp gun aggression is real tho

You shut your mouth about the temp gun. 














Yeah I totally did. It was cyl 2 and 6

Wow. A head. 
I've never seen one before. Thanks for posting this. 

You never hang out with Mitch, do you?

You never hang out with Ben, do you?

Pull the vac line off the FPR and see if it has fuel in it. Easy way to check if it is leaking internally.

Is it possible that you tee'd into the return line instead of the feed line?

Whoa, let's not get ahead of ourselves here!  This is still the internet after all.  Wait until you meet us in person, some of us are much bigger assholes in real life.  We do own BMW's...

Car has been sold. Guy dove up 3 hours after a 5 min conversation on the phone Sunday, and left with it. 
I ended up making out quite well on it and seeing it go was bittersweet. 
4 cars was too many, and having fixed that was nice! 

Turn the box room into a painting room?!

So I know we have been complaining about Garagistic lately so I figured I would post this for a bit of contrast. 
I order soft brake lines for this, as I will explain in a moment, and went with condor for reasons that I'm unaware of. They made the shipping label on a sunday which surprised me, and got delivered on thursday which was neat. 
Package contained a few extras
There was a steering wheel ad in there too which I didn't take a picture of, and their packaging was nice. Overall they do a great job in my experiences with them.


I was debating changing the brake lines on the rear end of the car (above the fuel tank / sub frame) while the sub frame was still on the floor. I asked a friend to come tell me what he thought about it and he asked me to point out which lines I was questioning. He then grabbed a side cutters out of his pocket and pinched the lines shut lol. 
In all honesty it was a very good thing, but was quite funny at the time. The lines were pretty crusty and the soft lines are quite old. Going to bend up some new hard lines tonight and get the sub frame back in the car with the new brake lines. 

I plan on doing the other lines when I replace the brakes, which I will probably do 2 days before a half mile race, along with painting the calipers and possibly rebuilding them.

Best statement ever.

We are the chosen ones.


But why? Is it solely based on color? 

Sad to see it go, but it sounds like it will be beneficial in most other aspects so it makes sense!

245k on the odo... and here I was wondering why seller was taking a closeup picture of the airbag. Doh
Logical reason for coolant jug in the front, no room with the subs in the back.
 

Got to work on cars this weekend! It has been far too long since that happened! 
Got the lowering springs in (thanks Mitch!) 
Also put in new tie rods (inner and outer with new boots), sway bar end links as the old ones were destroyed, and new strut tops. 

The PO had told me it leaked oil because the drain plug was stripped out and he just used silicon to seal it, and it leaked. I grabbed a new lower pan and found that someone decided to use whatever shit they had laying around for the rear bolts that hold the lower pan to the upper. This includes, but was not limited to, giant machine screws, what appeared to be some sort of massive wood screw, screws with flats ground in them to cut threads, and various other sized hardware. Someone also punched through the upper pan with a drill when making these new "threads" so I JB Welded that shut. 

 
Next steps are to do some interior work and get some fog lights, a front lip, and put the brake ducts back in. 
I'm also trying to source some ellipsoids.
