car's back from the shop.. after 18 hours of diagnostics, they gave up.
current theory is pinhole leak from coolant passage into combustion chamber throwing off O2 readings at idle. It gets worse as the car gets hotter, which is somewhat indicative of a crack that widens as the car is heated.
kind of steamed about this (since it was sold to me as a "ready to run perfect 80K motor", and now the guy's not answering his phone), but I do have an S50 on a stand that I can freshen up and drop in. so I guess I'm doing that.Comment

Maybe no S50 yet. Going to pull the head and take it to a shop.
Also I went to the ref and failed hard. Bad gas cap, bad emissions, CEL and "tampered" downpipes. Fuck!
some photos from the BAR appointment
the ref station has a poster illustrating what sorts of things the state doesn't want you doing. 2/3 example photos are e30s :mrgreen:

I need to fix the current issues, basically, to have a functional car at all. Head's coming off, exhaust's coming off and I'm putting in a set of the treehouse knockoff lollipops to clear a factory E36 exhaust (which I have already).
The lollipops will then go on the white car to get *it* to pass, and will likely stay on it since that car will have the suspension and motor and brakes to do fun track stuff.Comment
