You could also pick up a super cheap POS e30 comfort seat to swap in place of your recaro. People damn near GIVE those away if they're torn up.

4 bolts & youre comfy.

tempting, but i have a ton of stuff and idk if ill be able to fit an extra seat in the car.

Roof rack ;)

Personally, I would probably take the chance of the car breaking down and fix the stuff you need.

Open the windows, get a couple good playlists, and just drive!

If u drive by Utah and break down, let me know. I can help

I drove from Halifax to NJ in my E30 that was in need of maintenance and it did just fine. Drove for damn near 24hrs straight including gas and food stops. As long as the engine runs well all the time and the brakes have lots of life left and nothing is leaking too much I'd say you'd be fine.

good news, my step dad is going to supply me my parts as a very generous birthday/going away gift. BOOYAH! time for some poly bushings all around.

[TurboJake]

See? He answered it for ya.

Good to hear this OP, take advantage of the step dad for taking advantage of your mother every night after you're gone!

Albeit true, I really don't enjoy thinking of said post departure activities.

But fuck it, I'm getting parts!

I drove it 500 miles from Ohio to NY in june, and it wasnt that bad. Im just concerned with 5 days of 500-800 miles of driving. Not only is that a lot for the car to take, but im sure by day 3 im gonna be all sorts of sore from sitting in the recaros for 8 hours a day.

Phew I drove roughly 900 miles one summer in my E30, similar conditions to yours, no a/c, loud as fuck, in need of small repairs, and this was in 110 degree weather. I felt like dying on multiple occassions, but damn was it fun in the end.

Dont be a puss. You will be just fine. Stuff like that is what life is made of. Be sure to take a camera.
