Carlos - anytime you're around - If I'm not here just take the car out, it's all good.
I'm going to try and get it smogged tomorrow, it runs really really well and it's got a modified E30 airbox to boot.

ME: Sort of
No BAR sticker

Some goodies from Rogue and Lamin-X protected yellow Hella's. We're replacing all the P/S lines as they are leaking.

Roguen Engineering shifter is in and it is SMOOTH as silk, just what I've come to expect from Rogue Engineering. Next up a custom SS exhaust...

Thanks kalib0y, right now I'm just wringing out issues with the chassis stuff. We replaced the power steering pump and all the lines. Little nitpicky things that I am not happy with as I hate oil leaks of any type.Originally Posted by kalib0y
I turned my attention to the gauges which are now complete. The next electrical project will be the speakers and a remote entry system.
The engine is brilliant though. I am going to install a Miller WAR chip and use one of the tune positions for straight 91 octane fuel, sort of a bailout tune if I'm stuck somewhere without access to race fuel. I've got a 55gal drum of 110 at the shop now..

Sooo I figured out that the Schroth harness's left over from my E46 will fit perfectly...
And it's Dr Vanos time... my old vanos sounded like a can of marbles...

The new dash had no insulation like the old one.. I'm moving everything over with some srpray adhesive. I am also installing new wiring harness looms since the old ones were brittle and are now broken

She's all back in and I managed to NOT destroy my A pillars in the process!

Completed
Now everything works and the area below the center vents isn't bent up and cracked anymore. I ran the heater and no more sauna so that's nice..
Nice bright shiny OBC
bwaaaap bwaap

No worries we'll make a trade.. unfortunately I've fixed all my lights but I'll hang onto them for the future.

Nothing special the last few days just a little electrical, troubleshooting etc. I installed a remote lock/unlock system with the old school period correct remote. Monday it's going in to Specialty Products Design here in Rancho to have a 3 section exhaust made. All mandrell bent tig welded stainless with a cat section using a Rogue Engineering Diablo muffler rear section tied together with v-bands.
