e34 537t afew more steps to D-day

[topcat 11]

strange how after 4 days off,only the last afternoon/evening do

i manage to get it all sorted to lower the lump into the hole

but it did slide in with no difficulties,so bonus points in that regard.

cheers Brent and Brendan for the willing hands to help.

everthing takes alittle longer when not all limbs are 100%.

thanks Glen for the service on the g/box.should be good for the next 100K,see you then

for another oil/seal service

everthing torqued up nice,clutch centered and no problems in that department.

misplaced the torx bolts so unfortunatly you have to use the 6 pointer when

you do the service.

alittle e36 heat shield to save the ABS sensor wire and brake line from baking.

thought this would be a nice touch as now everything is BMW parts.

for the fanatics

everthing went smoothly,mind its a no-brainer when the fronts off the car.

thats a pretty sight,more motivation to spend afew more night to

get this thing rolling, and not me pushing for a change.

the oil filter is alittle tight for my liking,another thing to re-do.

but it will be worth it.

gear selector rod,rubber boot,clips,washers,basically all moving bits

out the back of the g/box wher bought from Warren, BM Warehouse

(top guy-get a price off him-he looks after you.)

no pics but it feels like a new one so smiles all round

*wonders what else is hidden under the heat shield* thats a clever way to hide I mean protect ABS sensors

Malfunctioning limbs suck tit.. I feel your pain.. Soon it will all be better

Do we have an estimate on detonation/startup date? I'll bring some marshmellows and long sticks.

Piccy doesn't go large for me I think I know what it is though based on something I seem to remember you mentioning (IHI Indy Car turbo).
