Your abilities in this regard amaze me.

[german-speed-demon]

[german-speed-demon]

siginificant progress made today. nearly complete wiring, radiator and associated cooling components installed, IE headers bolted up, and shift linkage and driveshaft bolted in.

I do need a few specific pieces,and am willing to pay for them:

Airbox w/ associated sensors
decent transmission mounts


wil update as i discover more that i shall need.

Seems like it's on the move!

[german-speed-demon]

getting there. i really need those parts though. that minus the electrical gremlins should sxpell the end of the not running syndrome.

[german-speed-demon]

Update. Tran Mounts on the way courtesy of Pelican Parts. And cone filter rules out airbox. Next in line, attacking the electrical gremlins

Looks freakin' great, Dave! I'm still debating whether or not to put a Ground Control setup on the e30 or not...I'm thinking the money should go towards a house...but damnit! I want more toys for my car!

howabout you tell your boss you need a satellite office in Linicoln? Then we can go drinking and you can drive your car more than ten times a year due to weather lol.

You know what? That's not such a bad idea! Time for some Morgan's Deluxe! I did get to drive it quite a bit last week...but today it's snowing, so back behind the wheel of the Blazer
Anyhow...that's enough hi-jacking. What are you installing for a CAI?

[german-speed-demon]

not sure what route i'll take there. My local parts hottie has access to DIY intake tubing, so i may build a custom unit. we shall see. right now i just wanna hear the vroom vroom of an m20 with dual starights.

[PhatCat]

The same local parts hottie that I got to meet?
I am still seriously considering doing suspension before the summer rolls around. Dave, wanna' make a trip up here to help?

[german-speed-demon]

possible...we shall see, i have a car to paint this summer sometime.

update: Aww hell i'll let the pix do the talking!

[witeshark]

Nice, I like the radiator!
