Yeah... it's called "Scoop or Die." Never heard of it? The second version was called "Z or Die."

Man Scoop or Die, that looks like a badass game. As far as the Z31 oil filter being easy to do, I don't remember it being easy. Then again the previous owner had tightened the hell out of that filter, oh and we were trying to use a belt wrench...

I guess with not alot of room and needing some good leverage was what really made it a pain. Although I think the L-Series engine filter is super easy, but my friends' BMW oil filter is ridiculously easy.

LOL LOL LOL you dont know what the chalk is for. hehehehe... google dude, or find a writeup on checking the timing for a Z31 im pretty sure your not the only person thats ever had to check the timing on their Z31 before. it might even tell you what the chalk is for. i use white out though. its more permanent.

i found out what it is for but my idle is off so even if i did timing it would be wrong so i have to fix the 5 vacuum leaks i found. and should i connect the cone filter directly to the amf? i've seen it done before:

The "ideal" setup is to draw COLD and low-turbulent air into the engine. That is not always feasible (especially on the Z31 as there is very little room to get a 3" pipe past the radiator support. Do your best. I would tell you to SEARCH... but you never do, so I won't waste my virtual breath.

Up there huh? "Up there" sounds pretty cool actually. Maybe you could tell us what "up there" means?

Um... do you know what the clutch fan does?

So tell me how this fan clutch is making the car "lag" more than normal.
