Traded my e30 for a e34. Build Thread.

[Luke Girard]

Well I haven't updated in while. Nothing much going on really. Blew the sub and replaced it with a Powerbass one. Installed rear headrests and the storage compartment armrest. Also found a retractable middle lap belt in an e32 that fits perfectly in the e34. It looks so much better then the original one. I want to find some new seats before SoCal Vintage next weekend and some new shocks before the Big Bear cruise on the 19th

Wow, the two biggest counties here combined are only 600k. I think the biggest reason here is we are in a valley and we get air trapped in the valley and so smog can kinda be a big deal.

Yea thats your reason right there. We got nothing but open farm land not a valley or hill until you hit western Nebraska which is almost 5 hours away.

Its fantastic haha. I live in Omaha witch is our biggest city. I got a feeling if we keep growing we are at 1 mil + they will make us do smog fingers crossed they dont.

Yeah, Idaho is like that too. I had a dirt bike and went to the DMV and asked for a pate, they just made me sign a sheet saying it was street legal. They don't check cars either, but smog is required in the two most populous counties.

In Nebraska the dmv doesnt even look at your car you walk in say you need plate hand them your title they give you plates and registration and your done. as long as its got headlights taillights and turn signals they could give a shit how it runs technically you dont even need that unless you want to get pulled over.

I hate you both soooo much. I would leave this Nazi state but my college is here and I don't have any money...

Well as I pulled into my driveway last night my radiator took a shit. Steam and water poring out but my temp gauge never moved? So I'm hoping it didn't over heat. And it failed smog twice. I guess I need new cats. I move out on the 20th for college and I only have $130 right now. Fuck me this is my only car now......

Here's the failed smog report if anybody would like to see if I actually need new cats or not.

So over the last few weeks I've gotten my remote synced to the alarm yay for a remote, middle lap belt replaced with a retractable one from an e32, stereo all wired up Kenwood KDC-X997 G.A.S 12" box with a Pyle sub ($30 off of ebay) and a 300 watt kicker amp, replaced the blown speakers now all 10 speakers sound awesome, and took it to the car wash for the first time in 3 years. I still have rear headrests to put in but I wont install them till I get some seats that aren't ripped. And I have an auto dim mirror but the mount broke off the windsheild and its super cracked anyways so I can't do that until I get a new windshield..... Today I put on my old wheels from my first e34 on the front because the tires on the style 5's were bald... I have all four but one is bent and won't hold air and the other one has a shredded tire. I also put the wide grill on but I still need the headlight surrounds and it's held on by zip ties. Anyways here a pic of Emma today =)

Changing the first post was so confusing.... "new" E34 looks nice. Is the 525i gone now too?

I'm selling it tomorrow to a family friend that will just dd it from Victorville to Barstow. His 1995 Dodge Neon was practically dead. It was eating oil and coolant had no 3rd gear and was rusted everywhere lol
