Got home to a box from oembimmerparts. Took Thursday off work to install e46 coils/plugs/boots/valve cover gasket and vanos seal kit. Still looking for experienced help installing the vanos kit, who's available???
Pulled the head, dropped the crank pulled the pistons, time to upgrade the corrado.

drove the shiz out of the lolvo once again, just for fun, on an awesome road I just found that is nearly a public rally stage (seriously, it's like a rally stage, except a bit tighter and more technical - I love it.) Was awesome, except for my camera battery being dead. now though, it seems to be running better than ever, after flogging it a bit. I fucking love this car.
Also, picked all this up for $65:

And, got some go-fast goodies in the mail that should allow me to turn the boost up ~3-4 more psi.

I put in a new power steering rack into a friends mk2.
Yeah, I was surprised too. It was kind of an impulse buy, since I haven't ever had any real intentions of doing much with audio equipment, but when I saw it on the local craigslist, I had to have it. Haha. The amp is pretty wimpy, but I don't really care too much - it was $65, and I'm sure it'll sound a hell of a lot better than the setup I have now. And the sub box looks pretty killer, IMO.
Needless to say, I'm pretty happy with my purchase - now I just need a decent head unit so I can actually hook it all up.
got some exhaust from chad @ SCI today.always nice to get the eurowerks discount at the shop...

Shiny!
Last night took the shocks out of both race bikes for a rebuild, and the forks off of Katie's race bike to get new seals.
Not sure if this thread hosts motorcycles or not...?
I helped my Dad on his 79 Vette yesterday, and the day before that I troubleshot the blower motor that the wife's Jeep was having. I found the issues, but its a PITA to get at. On the firewall, next to the tunnel, up under the dash.
I despise under dash work.
