      swapped out the old ratty radiator for a new Behr piece. anyone see the curvature of the top section on the old piece? when the engine was revved you could see that top bar EXPAND, no joke.




      its the wifes car, but the more crap we fix/replace the more i like it. dont really care if its a eta at all.

                  Drove it for the first time in a few days! :)

                  Last weekend, though, I replaced the 3/4qt of black sludge that I had as transmission fluid with Redline MTL, cleaned my ICV, Sea-foamed my engine, and replaced a blower motor resistor. Shifts smoother, accelerates smoother, and no more funky cold-start idles..and it's nice not having to run the heat on '4' all the time.

                      Early model diagnostic unit. Later cars have the round 20 pin instead.

                                I put in this pimpy guage cluster, took out the door panels, and sat in it. It's got that nice old car smell that the E36 cant get right.
