The valve adjustment didn't do much on power, but for daily running it did great; it runs a lot smoother now, and not having valve lash while driving is so much more comforting

New water pump hasn't gone in yet; I have a box of parts that have been sitting for about a week now. I'm putting it off waiting for the last bit of parts to arrive. Planning on doing timing belt and everything while I'm in there

I guess I might as well clue you in on all the little happennings that have been going on with the e30
(Dont expect much however; Iphone quality picture content)

I guess the most obvious improvement was the e32 trunk liner and tool box retrofit. Its simple, but the liner takes forever to get a good fit, and even then its not perfect; came out much nicer than my last one though. Now on the hunt to find the rest of the tools to finish the e32 toolbox



Did a dual trunk light retrofit just like the last one e30 because you cant do a trunk liner without dual lights. Learned from my mistakes last time and wired it clean and simple this time around. Came out pretty nice I like to say



Then doing little things here and there to revert all the free farm-fixes the OP decided to do on this thing:

New overflow hose and OEM clamps

New unbroken spark plug rail (those little spark plug bastards are hard to correctly fit into the rail!)

Never posted up a picture of how the wheels came out after a good detailing. They're a little dirty in the picture, but loads cleaner than the last time you guys saw them. Ended up going to a local part out and getting a good deal on 5 centercaps as well

Which is loads better than

Poking around the engine a little more has revealed the following:

Torn intake boot

Bad breather hose

Parts already ordered and on the way. As the car sits now, it is not being driven; I want to fix the timing belt and water pump first before I drive another mile with this thing. Just tidying up loose ends here and there and getting the small things done for now. once all the parts arrive, I'll take a day off to tackle all my maintenance at one time
