The GF and I had to redeem some credit card points so we got our selves a few Amazon cards. I got to spend some of this on some parts to finally put together a base speaker system.
I really really wanted to by a Luke box, but I wont be able to afford that for quite some time, so I am going to build my own box. Iv have all the tools and knowledge so why not. I already have the MDF in the form of some book shelves my mom is throwing away.
I still want to get a Luke box down the road.
I got a Polk Audio db1040DVC 10-Inch Dual Voice Coil Subwoofer, Alpine MRV-M250 Mono V-Power Digital Amplifier, and a Rockford Fosgate 8 AWG Amplifier Install Kit as well as terminal cup.

Just take your time in finding one with no electrical issues and a working sun roof. Those are the most annoying things to fix. Eveyrthing ells is a lot like the e30/e36. Iv just never owned a car with so many electrical whistles and bells that brake. Right now the car things there is a door open constantly even thought they are all closed. Bad door switch or something. Its never ending.
How ever it is incredibly comfortable with lost of room. Soooooo nice on the highway. I just ordered some ice/snow tires for it and my GF, mother, and I are driving it up to WA for a Christmas road trip. Should be fun.
As fare as everything ells. I am incredibly poor right now. I havent made this little money since graduating High School! So the only thing I can bearly aford to do is keep both my cars running. So my plans for both my truck and this car have been put on the back burner for a while.Leave a comment:

But I frickin flip flop with this thing all the time. lol
Some times I get back to thinking it could be cool. It just needs so much, and Id rather be building something ells. Im going to hold on to it and use it as is for a bit. See where life takes us.
I really wish the PO had been more honest with me about everything it needed, or maybe he was just so clueless that he really didnt understand.Leave a comment:

Nop and I dont even like it that much. If it was a care I had an affinity for I would tough it out and do all the work. Right now I am thinking of selling the car or trying to trade some one for another e30. Ether way I stand to loose money which sucks.
I just dont enjoy it. I cant put my finger on it. I guess I just dont like big cars.
At this point it has about $5000 into it including the price of the car, and I dont feel like throwing any more money into it.Leave a comment:

Got the Bilstein touring shocks in the back of the wagon today along with some new upper shock mounts. Man was that a bitch. You have to remove almost the entire interior in the back of the car to get to the frickin shock mounts.Leave a comment:

My buddy Eaven replaced the TB sensor while I was working this week. It fixed almost all the issues I was having besides the slipping trans of cores. All the warning lights are gone and the engine is running much more happily.
I need to put a new PCV on, which is already on the way to me.
I also installed some new Bavarian Autosport coils and some Bosch plugs today. Sunday Ill put the Bilsteins in the back and maybe trouble shoot the speakers in the rear of the car. Its coming together slowly but surely.
We plan on using this car for a trip up to the PNW in December so I have to get everything all ironed out.
Out with the old, in with the new.
The drivers side spark plug area was completely filled with oil. I had to pump most of it out with a small hand pump and then I used the head off of a Windex bottle to pump the rest of the oil out of the spark plug holes. Must have a leak some where.
I am now convinced that the last guy to work on this engine was an ass, because all the threads in the valve covers are stripped. All of them. How dumb do you have to be to do that?<--- that repeated 18 more times.Oh lets tighten this bolt down! Oh shit I stripped it! Well lets try the next one... Oh shit I stripped that as well.
I am going to have to find some good valve covers at PNP. That will give me a chance to paint them at least, or have them powder coated.Leave a comment:
