    yea, I figured that because they are smoking deals and you had a twin turbo, which makes it even more badass.

    bravo.

    How raw does the E30 feel when compared with the Porsche?

      so after the first week the new aux fan that was installed quit and thus the once cold air felt like a warm fart getting blown in my face. not stoked.
      went back to castro and he mentioned that the part was backordered until sept but I couldn't go through summer without AC so he just threw a used one in and refunded me the difference.
      pretty stand up guy imo.

      anyway the AC is now working great again.

      I managed to get the cruise control hooked up (thanks to iwantspeed and diamonddonbmw)...helps tremendously with the drive to San Diego weekly

      friday I had some free time so I managed to address a slight throttle sticking issue that ive been having, swapped out my m-tech 2 steering wheel with an m-tech 1 wheel im borrowing for a few weeks (thanks to iwantspeed) and also wired in an e36 window lock switch & window switch for my sunroof control.

      sat I went to the Pelican Parts C&C...saw awesome stuff... here is the link for pics



      oh haii


      then sunday took the pup down to San Diego so I could go to Comic-Con

      shes pretty into the A/C











      I also picked up a spare hazard switch I am going to experiment putting the volt meter into vs into the check panel. (thanks again fatsooo)
      oh and my m3 harness covers came in but I prob wont get around to installing them for a week or two since im taking a road trip up to Joshua tree and Sequoia national park

                              did a bunch of little stuff this afternoon.

                              replaced a city light and front signal bulb.
                              tightened the connections on the back of the gauge cluster (my water temp gauge bounces when i hit a bump) so hopefully that solves that issue...

                              put on my new door handles.



                              i got sick of dealing with my cruise control cutting out and i always see this brake light warning but my brake lights work fine so...



                              i replaced this jerk.



                              and voila...

                                You're doing great.

                                I really enjoy this car.



                                I'm balls deep in HD FXR/Dyna research, and I bet you have some good insight on these bikes. This would be my first motorcycle purchase.
