      A lot is bugging me about it.

      Primary stuff I'm working on:

      I lost a stud for the TB to the intake.
      A nut is missing from the exhaust manifold to the rest of the exhaust system.
      My front bumper doesn't align too well.
      I'm working on finding and fixing a possible oil leak.
      My A/C is fading.
      etc
      etc
      etc
      The BMW 318 is back. With a vengeance.

        A piece of my rear bumper trim piece is cracked. Paint is not perfect.
        That's about it.

            My driveshaft still hates me, thats my biggest problem. Other problems would just be shit that I would want to replace if I had money. Like the paint, seats, carpet, headliner, bumper strip, euro grilles, deleting my key holes. Ronal LS' wouldn't hurt either. Or some 16" Koseis.

            After next week though, I'll have very little to bitch about.

              Hmmm biggest problem at the moment would be...

              I don't have an engine in my car :D

              Then I'm guessing it's the black fenders, that the ricers think r soo cool... :?

              I gotta think.
              Paint
              Seats
              Carpet
              Definetly the Dash cracked to hell.

                Despite any niggling things that we all may have with our cars, I can definately agree there, I just love my E30!

                  Runs warm
                  power locks are at about 70% of the time
                  Ambient Temperature Gauge is wrong
                  Strage accel under 1/4 throttle or less
                  Subframe bushings near non existant.
                  Dash is cracked but that has never really bothered me

                  Pretty small considering how long it was last year

                  Sold it.

                          My A/C just called it quits, finally (been recharging on R12 for years).
                          Rust, forming everywhere.
                          Front struts are blown (new Konis sitting in my basement for weeks, putting them in this weekend).

                          Can't think of anything else.
