I don't have an eye for locations like you do. At that location, I would have said "nah...that can't be good". And then you shoot things like this. Astounding.

Welp.. Its been a couple months, I parted together a 4.10 LSD and it came out to be pretty cheap ($150 + I have an extra LSD diff I can sell). Ordered a z3 2.8L SSK so Im planning to put the diff in when that gets here.

You can see in that pic that I have my Work's off the car and disasembled, rebuilding them and will most likely have them back on come spring time. I thinking about going to coilovers w/konis so I can stiffen the spring rates up a bit (actually a lot).

Is this the standard diff mount?

That looks like the M3/Z3 diff mount, which was solid as opposed to the stocker that had holes and looked basically like the original front control arm bushings, except bigger.

Nice! Now you are really going to go through tires.

Ah.. well I found out the hard way what direction the thermostat is supposed to be installed while doing my water pump/thermostat. The previous installer put the last one in the wrong way, removal was pretty hard (was forced in backwards) and the o-ring was half way in, I honestly don't know how it held water before. The unknowing me put it in the same way thinking the thermostat would pop in when bolting the thermostat housing in. Heard the pop, put most of the stuff back in and started throwing some water in. Few moments later water was flowing out of the housing, pulled it apart and found this...

Got a new housing and t-stat (damaged my new one) coming in tomorrow from pelican (their warehouse is in SF so my stuff comes next day). So others know its t-stat-> o-ring-> housing gasket-> housing.

I helicoiled a few of the stripped valve cover bolts and put new gaskets, also tried getting some of the dumb coating stuff off but gave up. Im gonna do an oil change, Redline the trans, possibly install the diff (got all of my gaskets to build it), and button up everything tomorrow.

Ouch, looks like no fun Brad. Hey, I should go over to your house sometime and we can take off the throttle body heater and all those hoses under the intake sometime.
