    Pretty nice place to start off!! I've got the Azenis RT-215's right now and they are a damn good street/track tire. More traction then you will ever need on the streets and they do very well on a real road course. I'm going to buy some RT-615's when I have to replace my 215's since they were discontinued.

            The 85 diff cover with solid bushing is in.


            No more clunky shifts.


            New mismatched back seat from an 87 325.

            Hehe, you asked for it.
            Exterior modifications are e-code glass headlights with the interior housing painted black, early 70s chrome mirrors because we're old school like that. All the good stuff is under the skin. Full black leather interior, 5 speed trans swap, IPD sway bars, electric cooling fan, strut braces, etc.






            Took this picture out the sunroof on our way down the coast to Santa Cruz.


            This is my highway monster. 94 960 wagon with 200hp inline 6 and slush box. The tall gears make it a slug but it will cruise comfortable for hours at triple digit speeds. This is the car we usually take on trips to LA or Washington state.

                Sweet Baby Jesus. As I scrolled past the first shot of the road my jaw dropped...it hasn't returned yet.

                Nice choice of car/tires for that area. Thumbs up on the wrenching, too.

                    Small update. I swapped in a set of Autopal headlights with 80/100w H4 and 100w H1 bulbs. These headlights kick arse and you can't beat the price. $80 shipped to my door.


                    Pulled the valve cover for a little look and see.


                    Cam sprockets show very little wear for 139k miles.


                    And installed the updated M44 tensioner fully extended.



                    Its amazing what a little BBQ paint can do.


                    Before.

                            Rocking the $12 volvo e-fan. It runs directly off the existing aux fan circuit. The aux fan is gone to the trash heap where it belongs.


                            Fits like a glove with room to spare.


                            Whats missing from this picture?
