- So, this is probably one of the first times in a long time
that I think I've actually vlogged on the channel before.
But Steve, the guy that's actually supposed to be filming
actually went home.
And Corey's actually doing stuff to the E30
that I think deserves video content.
And so this is the first time that I've done this,
I'm probably out of focus,
the videographers, the editors, are gonna hate me
because they're not gonna want to use the footage.
Anyway but we're going to use it because,
we actually have good news on the E30.
So if you guys didn't know, Corey blew it up.
He did not blow it up.
The vehicle stopped working so we fixed it.
We were going to replace the O-rings
and when we got in there
we noticed the injectors were a little bit dirty.
Corey, Corey.
- Hey.
- [Vlogger] What are we up to right now?
- [Corey] So right now,
we're actually replacing all the hardware on the injectors.
Not the hardware, bushings and the tips and,
(rap music in background)
the tips, the O-rings, basically everything on them.
- [Vlogger] Show me a before and after?
- [Corey] Before.
- [Vlogger] Dirty.
- [Corey] Very dirty, nobody likes that.
And then, after.
So, you know, we hit it with the brake cleaner,
lubed up all the, oh, I lied that's not full after.
Now it's a full after.
So we have all of the O-rings lubed up,
gaskets on, got the new nozzles on.
A whole lot nicer than before.
Hopefully it will stop leaking too.
- [Vlogger] So, should we go
check out the motor really quick
and just see what the current state is?
- [Corey] The motor is looking gorgeous.
You know, we've got half the motor right there,
the other half where it's supposed to be.
- [Vlogger] That's the good bit.
- [Corey] Yeah.
- [Vlogger] We've got the old,
these are like the iconic cloths.
- [Corey] Oh yeah, that is the shop rag.
- [Vlogger] That is the shop rag.
Those guys have single handedly been funded by me.
From like 2012 to 2013.
Oh we got a little action on the, oh no.
Oh no.
- [Corey] Yeah, I got it.
- [Vlogger] I thought you were spending all this money
on new kicks.
- [Corey] Yeah, I did.
- [Vlogger] It's been like a week.
- Abby's not going to be happy.
- [Vlogger] Sorry, Abby.
So cool, so we're on the, we have progress.
- [Corey] Yes.
- [Vlogger] Do you think it's going to be running
by this Friday?
- It will be running by tomorrow.
- For sure? - I would say by tonight,
but Steve would be really mad
if I did all that without him here.
- That's fair. - Yeah.
- [Vlogger] But I'm here.
- You are here.
- [Vlogger] And together we'll go far.
- So if we can get it running in the next like
ten minutes while you're still here then yeah let's do that.
- [Vlogger] Sorry, Steve.
- Alright guys, so everybody left me.
I'm not a cameraman, I apologize.
But we got the injectors all finished up,
show you those here.
I don't know if it focuses or not.
But, we got new nozzles on them, new rings, new everything.
About to get them back into the fuel rail.
And we'll be able to get the fuel rail back into the car.
Figured we might get a little bit of content with this.
Use it if you want, or not Steve.
Everything's getting sideways.
(slow rhythmic music)
- Alright, so we got the fuel rail back in the car,
it turns out that it had some leaky O-rings
that was definitively the problem.
We got it all put back together.
Runs better than when we got it.
So yeah, I think me, Jells, and Steve are about to go
hop in it and take it for a ride around the block
and see how she runs.
So basically.
- [Jells] Which way are we going?
- Go left. - Okay.
- Jells has been telling me
how he wants to drive the E30.
So I figured, what better time
than right after it gets fixed?
- [Jells] With no interior.
- [Corey] No interior, no gas pedal, nothing.
But you know, I figured it's like, make a wish.
I'm making his dreams come true.
He's driving an E30.
(laughing)
- Like he's the shortest man alive. (laughing)
- It's a good day to be alive, like we said before.
Don't worry we got performance brakes coming.
(engine revs)
(laughing)
- Why have a gas pedal? - God (beep)
(laughing)
- My gas pole isn't doing well here.
(engine revs)
- We're up to thirty.
Forty.
Fifty.
- There's sixty.
(cheering and clapping)
That was a good clutch dump. (laughing)
Alright, so, we finally got our gold hardware in
for the wheels.
That's lovely.
So, we are just sitting out here
pounding the hardware in.
There's powder coat in some places
that you don't really want powder to be
when you're putting wheels back together.
So, what we're having to do is skip a hole,
bolt it in, pound the bolt in
and then screw the nut in on the back
and we're actually sucking the face down as we go.
What really sucks is we have this shiny new hardware
and I thought it came with nuts too
so now we have to reuse the old nuts.
But, luckily no one sees the back of the wheel.
(slow rhythmic music)
(banging)
This hardware is actually splined here
so the reason I'm pounding them all in
is just so that they catch on something
so that when I screw the nut in on the back,
the face doesn't just sit there spinning.
(slow rhythmic music)
(tool clanking)
So, right now, we are headed off to Baumgart's
to get the wheels and tires mounted
because, I just finished up with the wheels,
got the hardware all in, got them all torqued down
and they're looking pretty...
(slow rhythmic music)
So, Steve and I, we're about to film the outro
for this week's video and explain to you guys
that we got the engine all tidied up,
we got the fuel line working again, got the O-rings fixed.
And then Steve came up with this great idea
that we should fire the engine up
so that way you guys could really hear how good it runs.
Ready, Steve?
(car motor cranks on)
Turns out we're leaking power steering fluid.
Isn't this lovely?
So just when we thought we were done working on the engine
and we could finally get to the cosmetics things.
It turns out that we can't,
and we need to fix the power steering pump now,
power steering reservoir,
whatever it is that seems to be leaking,
seems to be causing the issues.
But we do, we do have something.
- [Steve] Whoa!
- We do have something for you.
What's this Steve?
(cheering)
We got the wheels and tires mounted.
The center caps are off at paint right now,
they'll be back, should be next week.
As you can see, we got 5 by 120 wheels, it's a 4 by 100 car,
so we are going to have run adapters.
Those should be here early next week so,
this next episode should have these
sitting fender to lip on the car.
Hopefully but let me put a little asterisk by that.
Hopefully fender to lip.
And, as long as Dom gets off his (beep)
and actually gets us the parts
that he keeps telling us are on their way
we should have an interior for you too.
- Fingers crossed.
Dom, I know you're watching this, fingers crossed broski.
- [Steve] Oh, dog out.
- This was supposed to be a happy ending to this episode,
where we showed you that the engine was working perfectly,
there was no noise coming from it but instead,
the power steering is all cattywhompus.
We're leaking, we've got a whine
and we have Jordan throwing snowballs at me.
So hopefully we'll see these wheels on the car,
probably not at this rate.
Hope you guys stay tuned.
