    Sometimes I feel like I went full VANOS at some points during my engine build. I had an oil leak from the passenger side of the motor. Turns out that I forgot about some of the gasket that was left on the VANOS delete cover...... Why?
    Cleaned the old stuff off, added a dab of sealer to the new gasket and stuck it back on. I would have tested it, but I am trying out this new thing called "following directions". Seems a bit odd, but they say 24 hours to dry/set. What do I have to lose! 
    All oil leaks have been tracked down thus far, including my alternator leaking quite a bit of oil!

    What do you mean 'slave went out'? Did the push rod come out of the cylinder? Did the seal blow out?
     
    Do you have the right slave cylinder?
     
    Also, i belive the word you cant think of is 'and'.

    Ha! You're not the first person to say that either!
    Took it up and down the road a bit yesterday when I had to move the shop around. I had a coolant leak at the heater core hose, and i forgot to screw the fuse box cover back down, so that went flying lol.
    She scoots, real good. I have missed driving an e30!

    She breathed on her own yesterday. Feels good bruh.
    It turns out I didn't actually have 12v at the coils... don't know how I thought I did. 
    Now to get the shop rearranged so I can get the car out, then do some driving.

    I ran into a ton of issues by trying to follow DIY's , proceed with caution. 
    Also, the last part of that is overkill, there is no reason to go through all that trouble of making a little board like that, when you can just rock another relay that switches ground. Tis what I did.

    So, if I am understanding this, there will not actually be any e30's AT the e30 picnic.  This is really more of a yearly gathering of e30 owners to talk about their non-running e30's.

    Yeah that guy won't have an e30 for a long while. He probably forgot to post he was looking to spend around $2000 too...
