    At least you identified the problem, that's a positive. Make sure you remove the clutch delay valve when you're in there, if you haven't already.

    Times have changed. More than one person talking about the worst spec E30 there is.

    Car is almost done, for now, just need to mount some harness eye bolts, put in a baffled sump, and maybe some swayers and it'll be ready for some track duties. Some proper photos of it with the new, painted bumper.

    Just pull out the CDV and attach the hose back together, they have the same fittings. Zero reason to spend money to put something there.

    Yeah in some ways I'm relieved its a simple fix. I already removed the CDV while it's been on jackstands for the last couple months. The short drive I did take it on the other day it drove better without it even with the dying slave cylinder. It's a must if you've got a manual 130i imo.

    The M8R looks nice. I guess its a BBS replica so of course it looks good.

    Yes it had an S65 for awhile. A friend of mine bought it then decided that she liked a E82 that we had and it was. `Could you put the s65 into the E82 so we duly oblidged`

    Well with a wife recovering from a major surgery and two small children I haven't had a lot of time to get down to the car, but I did manage to grab a couple of hours today while the smaller of the tiny humans napped. The sports seats were out in no time (surprisingly easier to manhandle out than various forum posts had led me to believe, they're not THAT heavy and unwieldy), and sadly plainly showing how long it is since I properly cleaned the interior 🙈 This finally gave me the opportunity to get the wet vac out and finally clean up the coffee that had presumably been spilt by a previous owner of the car. It looks like it must have spilt on the passenger seat and dripped through to the carpet. (underside of the seat did not show signs of coffee however so 🤷‍♂️). I did a vacuum and wet vac on the bits that needed it. Just did a fairly quick clean, as still intend to pull everything out and do a deep clean at some point in the future (I was running on limited time today). That's better! Then it was time to get the bucket seats into the car. Being significantly lighter this was fairly easy, I used towels etc. round the door to make sure I didn't scratch the seats, but it wasn't really needed as it was easy to fit them through the door and into place. After connecting the wiring it was on to getting the seat placed properly and torqued down. I followed the advice that M3_Power had given me to make sure you keep sliding the seat back and forwards on the sliders as you tighten it down, to make sure its sliding freely and locking into place correctly with all 4 locking pins when you select a position. That was all pretty straightforward and in short order I had the passenger seat installed. Then it was on to the driver's side, and again just a case of repeating the process. More straightforward and quicker to do than I was expecting, and THEY LOOK AWESOME! I haven't had a chance to take the car for a drive yet, but will try to take it for a drive tomorrow. These photos also highlight that I really need to get the new steering wheel installed, as the old one is looking pretty bad now. Might try to get that done tomorrow as well, will see how I go. In terms of the seats I'm super happy with them, they're exactly what I was wanting and it's so satisfying having bucket seats that are genuine, period correct, look awesome, and are in amazing condition. They were of course $$$, so I wasn't completely sure I wouldn't experience some form of buyer's regret, but I have not so far 😂 Very happy 😍

    I removed the slave cylinder last night, as I pulled it out and the piston extended it squirted fluid everywhere and is completely goosed. So that explains why I was having so much trouble bleeding it. Off to spend $250 on a new slave cylinder and clutch line yippee.
