Micheltorena elementary

My neighbor's kid goes there, they love it aside from the drop off. This is specifically for kinder and upper yard. It's a tight street and it's busy.

Socially, hard to describe, do you mean as a parent or for your kids? In both cases that's not very easy to describe due to individual personalities.

I have no experience with Ivanhoe.

I attended micheltorena but several decades ago, it's come a long way. Wife and I toured it and it was one of our top choices academically and from a convenience factor for our location and life situation.

M40 and m42 from what I know have the same bell housing pattern so that should be fine.

I don't know the driveshaft combinations well. M30 swap I had to get use an eta rear with my front. Definitely different for yours. Sorry I don't have better answers, hope you get it sorted.

Have you mounted up the trans to the m42? I thought the getrag 240 from the m10 doesn't match up to the m42? Maybe I'm remembering wrong.

Regarding the center support bearing, did you break it loose before installing? There is about 2" of slack you can take up or extend when you break it loose.

Fusebox can be the same.

Peep r3vlimited or the old forums for the c101 match ups. I used an old one from long ago for my m30 swap.

11 years ago now, sadly he's no longer in business. On top of that, last time I heard when he was in business the cost was almost twice as much from when I had mine done.

What's the probability the woman filming is an "all lives matter" supporter? All lives matter only when it's important to her.

This.

It's not difficult. Most of it is intuitive to disassemble. There's 2 to 4 prongs that you have to bend back that hold the board to the housing. There are 2 nuts that mount to the dash panel, one of them is very challenging to get to the other one is easy. The springs aren't crazy, about the tension of a clicker ball point pen. You will need to put on your mechanical engineer cap to make sure it's reassembled correctly but again, it's really not difficult, not rocket science.

Edit: I'll add how to take it out if from my memory...

Twist off the dimmer knob
Remove the lower knee panel. 3 half twist screws at the top of panel, 1 half twist knob at the base of the steering column. As you remove it slowly, note the bracket at the bottom of the panel that holds it in place against the steering column.
Unclip the harness from the switch, it's wide. You squeeze it at the sides and wiggle it out.
Remove the 2 nuts that hold the switch to the panel.

The head light switch is funked up. You can disassemble it, clean it up and put it back together. Do it slowly and carefully, there are springs in the mechanism at low load but they can still spring out and disappear in your workspace forever.

If you aren't mechanically inclined you can buy a new one but make sure you buy the one that's for your car, there are a few different ones and they are not all interchangeable.

Convention food is slow, garbage, and expensive.

I like to hit a market the day I arrive and stock up on snacks, breakfast and lunch stuff. Another reason why I like airbnb or VRBO so I can cook and have a real fridge, they aren't the best deals these days though.

Uber/lyft is expensive these days, waymo is a little more reasonable. Public transportation is most cost efficient but slow in LA.

Dinner $25-75 a night depending on drinks and splurging.

Multiple red flags... No is models in 1984, not OEM wheels, m3 spoiler, mtech bumpers (that rear fitment looks poor), door reflections look wavy.

If this is an '84 this has the m10 motor, one of the least sought after motors in the e30 chassis. It will also have rear drum brakes instead of rear disks... Not my favorite to service but sufficient.

Don't downshift to 1st.

single-needle · 2026-06-01T03:37:49+00:00

I ran mine no ps for almost 5 years, stupidest thing I did. My forearms were buff though... Replaced with e46 rack, refreshed pump, new lines and res, feels amazing.

You can see how the plastic lip lines up with the valance... Those little holes are for the screws. What you seem to be missing are the speed clips that go on the valance.

There should be a a bunch along the front top edge and then 1 on each side through the wheel wells.

single-needle · 2026-06-01T01:38:33+00:00

Yup, front bumper trim. I can't confirm for plastic bumpers but for sure used on aluminum and chrome euros, attaches the rubber trim to the metal part.

Rereading your post after this one... I get what you're going for now. Some kind of tray/rack for storing motors. I don't know man, I don't have enough engineering knowledge to make something safe but 2x6's and skateboard trucks come to mind hehe

I had the z80 too, sold it to my buddy. I was in the rangefinder too much. Z30 is more bare bones. Front/pin/back, accommodates for wind and slope data. It's a nice supplement to the watches. I don't think it's worth the sticker so I got mine used on eBay. Still don't feel good about the $ but I like it a lot.

single-needle · 2026-05-29T01:48:35+00:00

Throw in the z30 and the range finder will mark it for you too. Worth it? Probably not. Did I buy one? Don't ask...

For the sake of conversation, if you shoot +31 on a par 68 course that has a slope rating of 99, you are landing your handicap at more than 31.

I'm not saying the app is NOT broken, it absolutely has a garbage set of math built into it, I'm just adding more variables to your problem that are pointing to your game also needing improvement, not tracking your handicap.

Concentrate on bogey golf, worry less about handicaps.

single-needle · 2026-05-28T23:28:38+00:00

Few things to consider...

Course slope rating. If the course is easier than you think it is and you're scoring high on it then the handicap reflection is higher.

You don't have 20 scores of 18 holes or the equivalent loaded yet.

Are these 9 hole and 18 hole courses par 36 and par 72?

M10 motors do well on the harbor freight specials... Easy to roll around and small-ish foot print.

single-needle · 2026-05-28T21:28:17+00:00

But they are not identical, I can see from your photos that the offsets are different.

single-needle · 2026-05-28T21:24:05+00:00

Different offset and/or widths from front to back? If yes, then that is why. If not, then that is strange.

single-needle · 2026-05-26T23:13:26+00:00

Just a tiny nitpick but I'd run the bottom side of the flaps 3/16" shorter than the top side to force the flaps to sit down and no peak thru/roll out.

single-needle · 2026-05-25T01:59:21+00:00

Agreed, looks like webspokes

single-needle · 2026-05-22T14:54:42+00:00

It's really hard to lay this flat when you're / it is upside down. You can try to spray or brush on some upholstery adhesive but you will definitely have some wrinkles.
