    SoCal Vintage Drive today.

    It was great chasing a well built 2002 followed by an E30 M3 and then me...

    However a few times I got caught further back in the group and it wasn’t as fun. Good drive overall



    Same vantage point from a previous drive! Haha


    A few more



    Felt good to take the E30 out again. Such a good setup. I need to mount my subwoofer box better, it finally gave up lol

        He did seem to be a certain type. At one point he casually climbed on his roof to take pics. Mmmm cool.

        Was there sexually suggestive eye contact made?

          Seen him at my local gas station in L.A. getting air, I looked at the car bumperless and a bit ratty and thought *fuck yeah!* as I was about to give him a thumbs up, he raised his snooty nose up and drove off like his shit didn't stink. That categorized him as *special* to me

            Damn, I went to college from ‘88-‘92and there was a girl horn player that had a 323i just like that one behind you. She was muy intriguing. Thanks for the memories man and good luck with your sedan. I love mine......

                When you change your oil next I would consider sending a sample to Black stone labs. I send out a sample to them every 10k miles or so to make sure my M20 still has a clean bill of health.

                I like concrete numbers rather than speculating off a magnetic plug :)

                    Yeah, definitely was, but I did not give in to his advances.

                      It looked OK, but it sounded like it ran like sh!t... SSRs arent going anywhere. I have a full size, same sized spare also :)

                      you and me both!... My euro trim arrived today, and Im going to paint the rear bumper with that "perfect" match Bahama Blue paint... The plastic shell is already warped, so worst case scenario it looks like shit and I continue my search for another rear bumper plastc

                        Return that Duplicolor can and I can try to match your current color in a spray can if you want.

                            Plastic stuff...





                            It might be new but it still got some SEM trim paint. Tomorrow you’ll see how it looks on my dirty E30. Im properly using the term because my car is legit dirty

                              Cirrusly Blue - The Daily Driver E30

                              Forgot to take pics of the car but today with the help of Ian (really me helping Ian) we replaced a few AC parts and got me pretty damn close to Ice Cold A/C. I still need a few items but I think I’ll survive this summer in my Daily Driver E30

                              New Behr Drier


                              Not pictured but also replaced were every o-ring and also the Expansion Valve. Overall everything else looked good. I still need to replace the fan switch and the fan resistor ( ASAP) then the parallel flow condenser is down the list too



                              It was an odd feeling driving an E30 with working A/C but I think I’ll get used to it

                                Good work on the AC! I've been working up a 134 setup to throw on the car soon.
