Luke, there's an In-n-Out at the corner of Grand Ave and Valley Blvd that's usually hiring. There's also a euro/BMW meet that goes on there on Wednesdays that my friends organize. :)

I went there last week, meet Terry and everybody else who was there. It's about 2 miles away from where I live. :p My job ended today so I start looking for a new one tomorrow! :D

Good group over there. That was my home meet for a long time.

Cool! I just moved here and now I live near meets I can actually go to. All the ones in Apple Valley were filled with trashy Hondas.......

Yeah, I can't imagine the High Desert has any respectable meets haha.

I miss home :(

My temp job at the Mt. Sac book store is done. =( Now I need to find another job in Pomona or Walnut. This will be fun

Where do you park? I haven't seen an e34 there yet. I park on "Lot C"

Anyone know what's a good fluid to use on my 5 speed? (getrag 260) I heard you need to check the color tag on the tranny itself to use the proper fluid. I checked mines and couldn't find it so I'm wondering what's something good and safe to use. My cars an '89 325i if that helps.

I tried searching on the search bar above, but couldn't find anything.

Thanks in advance guys.!

As others have said just go with 75w90 or 80w90. I just use regular Castrol or Valvoline myself.

Thinking about getting a stock 3" MAF and intake elbow for my 24v swap. I really want to take my car to the BAR and I know they will fail me because of the VAC intake elbow, but there isnt a factory intake elbow that will go from the factory TB to a 3.5" MAF, is there?

Just install a factory boot and MAF for the test and switch it back later.

I've been parking in the A lot because it was closest to the book store. And I've had to figure out how to avoid all the speed bumps! =P You should come to the Wednesday meet at the In-N-Out next week! Here's the thread for it. ->

Recent grad from there, what's up?

thats probably what I'll end up doing, but I wonder if the chip will be adapt to the smaller MAF?..

Aren't you going to need to swap in a stock chip in because most chips make you run richer

[2mAn]

its a big waffling can of worms.

When I change to the stock intake elbow, I have to change the stock 3" MAF

When I change to the stock 3" MAF, I have to change to the stock M50 chip

When I change to the stock M50 chip, I have to change to the stock M50 injectors

THEN I have to hope that the M50 chip and M50 injectors will work fine on my M52 that has S52 cams..

waffles...

edit: this really makes me think about selling the car in the near future... :( If Im going to be paying for an illegal smog, I want it to be worth it! haha This thing should pass just fine right now, but they see the intake boot and shit hits the fan
