New to r3v and e30s!

You think you can control it..... but you cant. You are alienated from your family and friends (unless they are friends with similar interests), you are constantly broke, you justify your actions, etc. Its an addiction. And trust me, I know about addiction. haha.

bingo
Mariano is not only a member, but the president!
Gl with the car.

if its lower then the valve cover then it might be a head gasket. you don't need to be mixing oil and water or losing water or even alot of oil to have blowen one. mine was blowen in the back of the block and wasn't losing any water, and just a bit of oil.

Where are our e30s known to have oil leaks?
I'm analyzing more and more and I'm not sure if its the valve cover. It looks a little lower.. near the headers maybe

Its common sense..
Why have a broken nice looking car, when you can have a nice looking and well running car!

Agree

i'm happy to see that this thing is going to get fixed up. I wish i could have done it myself. But... one e30 is more than enough for my bank account.
and btw it has bilstein struts and tokico shocks.



Here, ill start for you.

Those are some nicer pics!
I put the shift knob you gave me on last night because the other one was spinning to much. I'm already comfortable driving a stick and the car runs
amazing. I'm so glad I got this car and the paint and body is in great condition. The first thing I'm doing is getting all new tires and fixing that leak. We are thinking the leak is coming from the valve cover. Soo I am going to replace the valve cover gasket.

I've heard the best things about Mark D chips.

And you don't want a 3.25 rear end. Since you already have a 3.73 lsd I'd just leave that in there. 4.09 is pretty short and will leave your engine spinning pretty fast on the freeway.
