I'm sure those rotors will last forever on a car that never leaves the garage

Snap. If you sell your e30.
I will burn my car and erase all knowledge of you.

Ok good deal, I just thought it looked funny.  Also, this thing is going to be awesome when done, keep up the good work.

I spent this past weekend at LSHQ doing some much needed work on Lola.  It was nice to dig in and get these parts out of my garage finally!
 
My list for the weekend was as follows:
FK Silverline Coilovers
Grill Surround
Hood release
Find coolant leak
Test fit wheels
 
The coilovers were an easy install.  At there lowest they satisfy my need for the low low while not being overly harsh.  I did raise the front up a bit since this is daily driven and we are only in January right now.  My steering feels much more direct and gives a bit more confidence.  On excellent to good roads the ride is better than my worn out 150k mile m tech suspension and while on fair to poor roads the ride is a bit stiff.  I have never ridden in another e36 with coilovers so I don't have any comparison that way.  My brother-in-laws A6 on ST's is comparable to the ride the FK's deliver.  I paid $749 for them through ESE tuning and bought the coilover cup kit from Turner Motorsports that came with the front and rear mount reinforcements for $200.  Overall, I am extremely satisfied.
 
I don't have any pictures of the hood release install but that is a pain in the ass.  Come to find out one of my hood releases is frozen so a new one will be ordered soon.  No pictures of the wheel test fit either... you guy's will have to wait for that surprise!
 

 

 

 
Here are a few shots after the grill surround and grill were put in.
 

 

 
As for my coolant leak... The hose on the bottom of the resevoir was loose.  Easy fix compared to any other e36 coolant disasters.

You can weld that no problem, I have tig welded mild to stainless and it turns out great.  I'm not saying the sealant wouldn't work, it would just be "because fancy."

Pretty far away but would be a great project.

Fancy fancy, keep doing your hand exercises so you can get this beast rolling!

Happy Birthday and Happy Boosting!

Manual swap it! I'd be surprised if that went for over $8k
 
Not local but someone posted this on the R3V facebook page and I lol'd pretty hard. http://seattle.craigslist.org/tac/cto/4275551495.html

That awkward moment when your ix is garaged for the winter.

I would use a thread insert rather than a helicoil.  It should be easier to get it to seal and should stay put better.  Use a tapered tap and don't go all of the way through so that the insert gets snug (think tapered pipe thread) and clean out good with brake cleaner so the loctite sticks good, if the insert is too long then cut/grind the end off once its in there securely.

hooray for updates and a video!

2014 needs to be the year that everyone has their car up and running for an awesome spring meet + drive. 
 
There are no excuses for anyone, max out those credit cards, donate all your plasma, sell a kidney, eat lunch out of a dumpster and get ready for an amazing driving season

Yea but only if it's a good one.  Haha.

Or just get an e39 m5

I would have wished Rowley a happy birthday as well, but unfortunately he didnt send Bassboy's TPS out soon enough and suffered the ultimate consequence.  RIP Rowley, RIP.


oh,  and Happy Birthday man! 

I'm going to buy it tomorrow hopefully (in all seriousness)... Don't steal it from me!

Do you hand out the candy to children from the e30 or a van of the delivery type?

To fill trans fluid take out the shift boot and use a funnel with a hose from inside the car, no need to pump it in.
