      I don't have a GPS, but indicated 75mph is ~3700rpms.

            Car looks awesome, the COP kit is a huge improvement over stock wires. What kind of fan is that? And did you wire it to the aux fan circuit?

              I don't remember what brand the fan is. It's a single speed puller. I have it wired into the aux fan circuit (with a relay of course) to turn on during the low-speed circuit.

                  Looking good Kenny. 318 power with 325 gas mileage ;)

                  This is probably the best handling street e30 I've driven. It's amazing how light and nimble the little m42 makes a car feel. Combined with the sways, urethane bushings and springs/shocks, it practically drives itself in to corners. The strut bar is awesome, icing on the cake for sure. Something about this car feels more sold than any other e30 I've driven too. There are no rattles, squeaks or anything loose-feeling anywhere on the car. It feels like it just rolled off the line. The doors close with a distinct mechanical thud, rather than the normal e30 rattle.

                  Next time though, wash the whole car. I spent hours clay'ing, buffing and waxing that thing. Keep it nice lol.

                    "The Camry is an appliance, not a car. It attracts folks who have the same regard for driving that they have for washing dishes,
                    i.e. it's a necessary but somewhat unpleasant chore and they want something to make the task a little easier and insulate them from the process."

                        Griot's car wash that I got free at the e30 Picnic a few years ago.
                        It's all about the brush :)

                            It's a pretty solid little car. The urethane TABs creak, and there are a few small buzzes when the sub hits when I'm blasting Ice Cube.
