It looks like those SLR arms provide some bump steer correction. I’ve been looking at ways to eliminate bump steer on my e46 but im not sure this full yeet setup is what I need
-
For my own future reference as I sit here bored in a meeting at work:
On the list for winter
-Find mechanical cooling fan components (shrouds, clips/fasteners, etc.) and replace Spal fan with stock mechanical fan. The Spal fan will be moved to pusher duty on the front unless I can find a good used aux. fan and all associated shrouding etc.
-Replace oxidized AC Condenser before it fails and coats my engine bay/front tires/life in greasy R134a-Replace radiator if it looks crusty on the front (need to remove condenser to see)
-Coolant flush
-PS Flush
-Oil Change w/ Blackstone analysis
-Replace cooling system hoses and o-rings
-Replace upstream O2 sensors because they are probably original
-Replace TPS sensors and fuel injectors
-Replace clutch hydraulics
-Inspect/replace steering flex disk

There are a few fellow Volvo owners on here. You should fit in well.
Absolutely feel free to post stories about your time in Germany, they may not be interesting to you but I think a lot of us would find stuff like that interesting.I agree on the 24V swap. The M30 is a tank but the added smoothness and quietness of the 24V is sweet

What time is it at? I doubt i'd be able to swing it tonight but I've always wanted to go. So if I get home from work and find a note stating that my wife and kids have packed up and left for good I may be interested in joining.

Welcome! Your background info is pretty fascinating, what did you do at Mini?
Your E30 looks great!

Time to buy a lotto ticket. Did the temps get high dangerously high when that happened? That is amazing luck! Gotta make a coolshirt for the engine

@KaiserRolls thread updates are proof that my helicoil hell was a success.
sucks when months later you read of a shop that recommends 9 ft-lb instead of 11 because they have seen the same issue repeatedly. Would have been nice to try that instead

Hey Nick! Long time no see.
I cant believe you are boosting the LS!
Are you going to get it tuned at LMT? Or is there an LS dyno tuner near you?

I could use a lanyard honestly. I dont go to enough trade shows to collect swag anymore

Nice cars! Glad to see you around again.
check out www.nam3forum.com, there is a forced induction section. Its the continuation of the very good M3forum.net Which is now gone.
Become acquainted with Lang Racing as well.They are probably the world’s foremost S54 experts.

Replaced a bummy headlight bulb that didn’t like to work a full shift with a new pair of 4300K Philips. They are A little brighter than what was in there. Im guessing what was in there was a 5000K Budget HID special which were fine up until they weren’t.
I got screwed on my way home from work. I keep a plug kit and inflator in my trunk emergency kit. Today it did its job
The trans has been treating me really well and shifting nice. It has to be from bleeding the clutch before the track day. I think the possible slave cyl. leak may be allowing air in more easily than normal. Thats 2 strikes for the clutch slave cylinder so I will address that next.

Nice find! First time that I have seen those as well

What an absolute masterpiece created in windows movie maker.
Another windows movie maker masterpiece from this morning’s drive:
I’ve been racking up the miles here in July with a couple quick trips and have a short list of items to address
159,683 milesThings to-do soon:
-replace headlight bulbs or ballast die to passenger headlight working intermittently
-replace TPS since its an easy enough thing to do and I received a random TPS related CEL which has not come back
-replace temperature sensors because again, its easy enough to do and I had a random CEL for it (and im beginning to question its accuracy as its already out of the blue band when I fire it up in the morning)
-replace clutch slave cylinder as it has a slight damp area on the mounting flange and I don’t want to chance it.
I did eliminate a suspension noise by shimming a sway bar end-link and locating a loose heat shield

Friday. Not Saturday. That probably reduces the chances of participation further

Let me know if anyone wants to do a short cruise starting around Devil's lake. I will be passing through that area on my way home Friday morning and plan to venture off through some scenic routes as I head back towards MKE.
Friday~9a, meeting point wound be near the freeway north of Devil's lake.
Let me know if you would like to join. If there are no for sure's I will just do my own thing.
update: its actually Friday, not Saturday. I dont know how calendars work

Masks have been mandatory at my work since May. I made all the signage and am part of the enforcement.
I now have a family member (Uncle) with the virus. Former smoker, admitted to the ICU but no ventilator yet. Things are hopeful for now
Update:
Family members were called in to say their goodbyes last night. He passed this morning at 10a. He was a head chef at a number of restaurants, most recently Lucilles BBQ in AZ. He was 49 and leaves behind his wife and 4 teenagers.

Rainy, but a good experience.For a while it looked like we might not get out on track at all due to weather delays for which @patsbimmer1 mentioned the day might become something along the lines of “a really expensive Lunch outing” but we ended up getting a few runs in and had a good time.

35 years ago someone was proud to show that car ff to their friends

Right, the stories about possible long term effects are unsettling

Beautiful! ZHPs just look “right”
what is PPF
Partially Purple Feltcovering?
I re-glued mine but ended up just pulling the fabric off entirely after some bubbling. Nobody would be able to tell they are naked
