Here is the old bushing. Original, I believe... No holes

Now that makes more sense

I used mine just the other day on the exact same seal. Took like 5 seconds

Oh, I know but it just seems sort of silly when we already know what the car is pretty much gonna look like

Wayne, I had looked forward to coming this year but I just can't get all the parts pulled together. It's like a conspiracy or something to keep me from going. But I'm gonna get back one way or another!

Ok so I would like a little tutorial on how you fabricated that battery tray! I can do some metal work but that is way beyond me!

They do the car no favors to wrap it like that!!! They would just do better to paint it a great color and run it. It looks super bland in the car camo

Thanks so much guys

No original early S30s in black. Any black one's you see are repaints. Is he married? If he is elicit some help digging through potential paperwork

If he's with the same insurance company, maybe they know. If he's like my dad he kept paperwork going back decades

You really need a vin number to have a chance. You could run it through the national stolen vehicle database and if you know cop you might be able to run a national trace to see if it's registered anywhere

I would leave the thread as it is and not start a new thread. That way the final solution is with the initial symptoms

Some dealers added undercoater. But from the factory everything was supposed to be body color

I would like to go and have been planning towards it but my employee (and my friend) gets married on the 8/21. I also just made a trip to Texas and can't do a longer trip than that until I heal up some more. I wanted to meet some West coast members too!

So we have most of the tranny reassembled. We are working on the cases. I have two O rings for the shifter. One is easy to replace The one on the OD there. But I suspect there is one internally as well. Should I drive out the rear cap that is staked? Also is there any particular way to orient the new Omega bushing? It has a hole but I didn't know if there was a specific orientation because the existing one didn't have a hole @EuroDat

I would try to clean up the threads first. Maybe get a metric thread file. If I could get it to torque I would probably run it but I dont beat on my cars. Zed is correct on the common failure point. My point being if you thrash on your car there are other concerns than the threads. Although I believe most of these failures are in high HP cars

Depends on how hard to plan to drive the car. 240 stub axles are not known for their strength anyway... I don't really thrash my cars anymore. So I might try to doctor that one and run it.

CARB approval would be your biggest challenge

$4,000!!! That's a huge bargain! good for you!

As a curiosity about how much does a project like that cost?

Very similar to the BMW Z3 coupes. The M coupes are still very popular race cars

Yes, I believe tuning would be a completely separate topic

I like that I would be interested in that. I believe that is an individual that was just dreaming about that as an option
