Z31maniac's DD 318is

[Jesse30]

^That's good. I commute about 45 miles a day.

I'm super excited about having such a nice daily. The car I've been using as a DD for the last few years is fucking beat to shit. To the point I almost considered buying something new or just a few years old, but decided against it as I hate the idea of having a car payment. Especially now that we have a mortgage.

I've just got to figure out a way to con Levent out of those Borbet T's before I leave.

i commute the same distance to work and back and i've seen 200 miles so far and im barely touching half a tank. its pretty awesome.

car is super fun to drive too since its lighter :)

Con, con me? You know who you have to con.

I will hopefully be buying a cheapo commuter early next year.

I know, ran into a problem that took some time to sort out. No biggie, just a snapped exhaust downpipe stud.

Would have had the whole rear end in today, but spotted a shot CSB so that will get done first, so i can attach d/s to the diff before raising up. Easier that way, for me at least.

I did get the front rotors and pads done, though. What was on there actually looked relatively new, however, must have been a bad pad, because the drivers front rotor had a huge gouge in it. All good now.


Then, just finished up the trunk area. Keep in mind, i didn't want to go overboard and cover every square inch of the trunk. Pretty much just the bare minimum on the large panels.
