So whats wrong with your car

[e30Matt]

Paint needs a good polishing.
#2 intake rocker arm is broken.
Some random squeaks and creaks in the suspension.
Wheels need to be balanced.
Steering rack is 4 turns lock to lock.
Interior is ragged out as shit.
Dash has cracks.
Tach works intermittently.
Car needs to be lowered.
Exhaust is too loud (only on some days when I'm "cranky")
Stereo just isn't good enough (factory premium sound w/Blaupunkt Pasadena).
Front air dam sags in the middle.

That's all I could think of at the moment.

EDIT: TOB or input shaft bearing is bad.

Rear subframe is kinda shitty, im gonna rebuild it all with stripped arms and all new parts.

Ohh yeah my kind of post here:

Tranny been battling it for months now, can't figure out the problem.
CV boot inner needs replacement
PAINT is worse than anyone on here (have paint just need time)
SSK keeps hitting on top of tranny
Drivers seat bolster has a hole the size of a donut
Back diving board bolts rusted on afraid to torch off, (have plastic bumper waiting)
Did I mention my paint looks like shit, oh well its worth saying twice.


My e30 has taught me more in patience in the last 6months than I ever learned before in my life for anything.

well right now, the engine seems to be the main concern. will edit in a few min.
