        Thanks guys!

        Kyle, I was pretty bummed when you couldn't come to autoX! :( Next year!!! Should stage a R3v e30 autoX takeover!

        It is a Racing Dynamics wing.

        In other news I changed my transmission mounts and lost some of the weird vibrations when off the throttle in 4th and 5th gear its had since I bought it! Pics weren't taken as that was mostly me laying on my back with nose to the floorpan! I will own a lift one day...

        Edit 1-24-15. Oil Change @ 167,057 miles. (this way I can't forget like last time...Still did it about 5k but couldn't remember for sure)

          Haha we should, they would be so confused to see like 10 e30s.

          It would be like last time when they were like "52.10 in the white BMW... Uhhh, 52.38 in the white BMW....... 50.20 in the white BMW"

            That was pretty funny!

            Recent update...
            I picked up a ski pass back seat, its in nicer shape than the old one as a bonus, but I really got it for the sub!

            The reason the headrests are darker is that they spent last week getting leatherique'd in the house...


            Edit!
            I might get an m50 this weekend and then go hunting for a zf320 and matching DS for it... Wanted to see what the gearing of the 320 looked like with a 2.93 rear compared to my current g240 with 4.10 rear. Cruise rpms and such things... Made an excel sheet and found that its really close to my mom's e90 335 minus teh 6th gear! Should be sick with turbo later on!

                  This happened, I have more pics of this but I'm gonna go outside and work on my truck rather than be on the internets...

                    I liked this car a lot! Wing on wing is something only a Porsche can pull off! Also notice that he's trying to bet on what the weather will do. "To slicks or not to slicks, that is the question!"

                    The beautiful weather in the morning somewhat deteriorated by the afternoon run group. And I forgot my jacket in the car back in the pits and was stuck in the cold rain with stiff wind for a few hours being a cone wrangler in a sweatshirt

                    Obviously finshed my day off at Dicks Drive In! THis is Washington weather at its finest. Decent in the morning, rain in afternoon and beautiful again in the evening

                        Small update.
                        Bothell e30 meet a few weeks ago.

                        Went for a really fun drive and stopped for picturds. More proof my car isn't really alpine! I actually love the extra creamy-ness it has

                        Found a tree with pretty leaves

                              Your car is VERY close to AWI. Alpine gets less creamy and more Alpine as the number gets higher lol.
