I saw your car at the meet last night. It's really coming along nicely! Keep up the good work. Hopefully we will have a chance to talk at the next one.

Thanks for the kind words man. It kinda seemed like the car didnt want to be there though, with the coolant episode and all. Haha

At the next one just come up and shake my damn hand! I like looking at all types of E30's, cause everyone has to start somewhere, and not everyone gets quite as lucky as I did. Though some get much luckier!

You need to join SocalE30.com. We are starting up a lot of meets and get together, and your car would definitely be welcome!

Cool, done!

Ah, no worries, they all leak something. It was nice seeing your car at that meet. Seems like it runs good considering that loose fan belt making a funny noise.;) Hope to see you there again in a couple of weeks and hopefully we will get to talk a little more.

Cheers,

The expansion cap failed. i guess it was old.

We are gonna have to wait and see what the leaders over at SocalE30 set up as the next meet. I will definitely be attending. And the Julian cruise, and all the other upcoming stuff.

I have unfortunately had to await funds before I can purchase the spal fan to complete
the radiator install. Tomorrow night it will be ordered.

The E36 M3 is relaxing to drive, but damn is it slow! It takes forever to gain speed on the freeway. I am definitely spoiled. haha

I got an amazing deal on a brand new computer from my buddy who impulsed bought one right before he is scheduled to deploy. So I had to set aside funds for that. Boy is it fast, and I am having a good time having my laptop, and the new desktop to mess around on. 8 gigs of ram, and a terabyte hard drive, as well as an upgraded video card!

Swapping out the 3.25 lsd for the 2.93 lsd sometime soon. Pics will be posted.

Why a 2.93?

[MR E30 325is]

Why a 2.93?

It might seem perfect for most, but a 3.25 is way too short.

First gear is gone in literally 1 second. Second gear doesnt last much longer.

And I do a lot of freeway miles, and 3k is 68 mph. Which is ridiculous. Cause the last thing I want to do is cruise with traffic at 3800 rpms, when I can swap it out and get better mileage.
