Really nice touring and color.
I got a brand new eBay header for a E46 m54 I learned later it doesn't work on a E30 swap.

If the MR2 gets sold ... well..... who knows... especially if I dont feel confident in this M54B30. However, I would much rather leave this dad-mobile as-is and have a toy in the garageLeave a comment:

Yep. You totally got the one I thought you did.
Well done.

That's a nice daily. M54B30 and manual instead of wheezy 170hp M52B25 and slushbox. Good catch. I passed on a nearly 200k 323i wagon because I just wasn't having it; a 24V 2.5 that makes M20 power and an auto

Yup, as far as I know. Plug & play. One of the fog lights has a cracked lense and luckily a replacement isnt expensive, but Id like to replace them and add yellow lamin-x which is basically next on the list next to replacing the cracked windshield... just need this thing to be smogged first.

Very nice! Is the ZHP front bumper a direct swap onto the touring?

Ok here are the pics :) More to come, hopefully today will have a good, fully ready smog and a 2021 registration tag
Here are some of the pics that my buddy sent me when he went to check out the car. (Thats his M5 in the background)
The wheels that are on it in this pic needed tires and I didnt like them, so I opted to have him reinstall the older wheels that had decent tires
You can see the CD player unit to replace the cassette player, but not sure I will install it. The CD changer in the back works and I have a bunch of cassettes that its nice to listen to... Im old, what can I say

After flying up to Sacramento all still appeared to be correct and as described so I felt good buying it and driving home, over 400 miles away back to Los Angeles. Overall the drive went fine, car pulls quite nice being a M54B30 with a 3.46 rear diff. I managed to average nearly 31mpg going about 75-80 most of the way.
Back home in my garage. Crappy pic, but a "I made it home safely!" pic
Yesterday I drove my wife to work and figured I could get it smogged on the way home, but one of the Cat monitors wasnt ready...
Did some research to see what needed to be done and drove the car around a lot at more normal speeds and RPMs. Keeping it under 3000rpms isnt easy with the 3.46. Last night I drove home from my cousins house and set the cruise control to 58/59 mph and got over 40mpg! haha
Hopefully that restrained driving did what it needed to and I can get my 2021 registration sticker today.

Sorry guys, no pics yet. I actually have a few on my phone but as today was my wife’s birthday I promised her no car stuff... sadly, being an “old” BMW it decided not to start when I was going to take my wife out. I was quite pissed about it, especially since I couldn’t spend any time diagnosing it. After spending the day making sure my wife was happy she let me escape into the garage and after climbing into the hatch and getting to the battery, the ground was finger tight and came right off... then the ground cable too. Tightened em down and the car fired right up. Hopefully when I’m supposed to drive my wife to work tomorrow nothing weird will happen ...
So why no pics?... it’s a stupid reason, dumber than the no start issue today. So rather than explain I’ll just make you all wait another day.Leave a comment:
