This sounds awesome! You better order some more explosive cannonballs. Oh and the bus will need strengthening to support the turret. -
Reverse switch fouls starter solenoid - thoughts?

Ltd's reverse lights have never ever worked and it's never failed a wof for it. I once looked into getting them going but when the complete rear of your car is a brake light I've never had a problem with people not seeing me or lack of vision at night. -

Next time I'm under there I'll have a look and confirm the gearbox. Cheers for the heads up, I'll send him a message. There is a metric fuckton of info out there on the line but someone that talks kiwi could help. Cheers -

What you see in the pic is what I got. I don't have the front or rear lights, but there is interior/dash parts if you need any of that -

Haha usual story! I don't mind modding my shifter, and was probably going to cut the sump down and give it wings anyway. The sump is fairly low as it is so I will feel better with more clearance. To be fair this car started life as a auto and I have no idea what getrag I have in there. -

I found this info bomb too. Seems to be a great source of information that covers all the bases. http://ns1.e30zone.net/e30zonewiki/index.php/Engine_Swap_-_M5x -

How to tell that Dylan has been welding. Anyone that welds daily will feel my pain. -
It was a quiet meet but still enjoyable as always. Belgrove Tavern's outside area is really quite surprising and cool. The wedges were delicious and well priced but they do need to up their coffee game. Thepog took me for a quick fang in his father's XKR which went well, felt great on the road and sounded amazing! But I do wonder how many engineers/hours it took to get that note just right. Not oldschool but tolerated because supercharger I actually missed Alex's post that he wasn't coming and we waited around in case any other Motueka people arrived. Then the e30 Alpina (one of 2 in the country), the lancer and the shitty e30 took off for a lovely cruise through the countryside. This quickly turned into e30 vs e30 countryside hooning,which was just awesome. Although the Alpina was winning the whole time... Pics! Chur!

So the other Friday I started her up to go to work, and while winding over I heard it miss just once. This was enough for me to think something was wrong. It was a cold morning so there was plenty of condensation/gas shit out the zorst,a good 10 min warm up, get in and go. A couple of Ks down the road and it drops a cylinder and becomes steam powered, cheeching like a champ out the Zorst Fuck Long story short. BHG/Cracked head Source very cheap engine off a friend in unknown condition and a cracked sump. Swapped that shit over and she's back in action. Although.... the replacement engine doesn't fill me with confidence, yes it runs fine but anyone here can tell that it's an engine that hasn't been loved. Under the rocker cover of the good bad engine (current runner) Under the rocker cover of the bad good engine (original with BHG) Go figure huh? So I think I'll be stripping the original and getting it going again, Hopefully its just the gasket. You called it Bart, but it's still a much better platform as a daily than a shitty corolla. On another note I also picked up a diff that will get welded. Pic
