When I say both, I mean both me and the e30.
I moved over here first week of september. Im going to Lincoln Tech in columbia for automotive training. They also have a STEP garage next door which is my goal.
My car has well over 380,000 miles on it now with the stock bottom end and I'm sure most of you know my mods. Anyways, since I've been down here I've had a wheel bearing go, my tie rods are loose, my halfshaft is clicking, the suspension is taking a hit, the valves are clicking pretty badly, and my rear tires are wearing horribly from the highway driving. How many people drive modded e30s in busy towns? This is a real change for me and I'm not sure my car is cut out for it. Back home is another story and I could get away with all this.
The motor doesnt bother me too much, but it is making some more noise. It is still very tight, doesnt burn oil, and runs incredibly strong. I do have to pull the head again and will probably run a 264 cam instead of my 274 which is pretty much shot (causing valve click). It is too much for the street down here. The spark doesnt seem sufficient for the current idle mix (very rich due to low idle signal, and longer duration) The car itself just feels tired. I was considering getting a beater for down here like a 318i, but not sure what to do. Anyways, [end rant] its new for me, so I'm getting used to it.
