I keep seeing this e30 roll by on the street. Turns out he/she works at the Mazda dealership here so I pulled in and took a pic. Maybe I'll run into he/she at some point.

Car started running terribly last month. It dogged under 3k and then sprung to life when it went into the higher RPM range. Classic Vanos symptoms. I never touched it when I did the original swap so it was definitely due.
First I did the valve adjustment. I was told the engine was low mileage and it seemed to be in great shape. Only three valves needed a slight adjustment.
I followed this with the Besian seals rebuild and also their rebuilt solenoid. Overall the process was very straightforward and their instructions were super easy to follow. The only mistake I made was damaging one of the seals on install so it set me back a week while I waited for the replacement
It RIPS now!
I think my next project might be the exhaust. I'd really like to quiet it down. Maybe add an x-pipe or something to reduce the rasp.
