Hey guys, I've been lurking around r3ved for around a year now and figured I should share the story of purchasing and owning my car for the past year. I started off looking for a swapped car around a year and a half ago and found the one that fit was I was looking for. It was a 1989 s52b32/zf/5 lug swapped cirrusblau coupe. But the only problem was that it was in AZ and I was in PA. So I packed a bag and grabbed a one way flight to AZ to pick it up.

The day I picked it up in Tempe, AZ
Day 2
So much open road out in the south west
Dirty
Finally after three days of driving I could wash it
After a fall wash a few weeks into ownership. Got an IS lip off of ebay
But unfortunately fall came and went and it was time to put it away for the winter.
After a long and brutal winter in the north east I finally got to take him out again.
And over the winter he got a face lift as well as a few maintenance items
Back at school
My roommate and I taking a spring drive
I even got to attend the M4 initiation video shooting and got a care package from BMW!
Also did a few HPDE. Car felt great on track even with street tires. Cant wait to get back out for more next spring/summer
Also picked up a gray carpet not to long ago to match the rest of the interior.
Overall I am super happy with the car and have some great things planned for the winter.
Thanks for looking :)
