If your referring to the 'Check' light on the cluster, it is a general check light , mine stays on too and my check panel up top doesnt work. Still passed

Nope I'm referring to the check engine light. I disconnected that one you're talking about, the flashing annoyed me.

I know... just hesitating on it because it's the intake air temp sensor that's fucked up so I have to get a new AFM which isn't cheap.

Befriend an e30 owner and ask to borrow the AFM for an afternoon...buy him a beer or something, or flowers and chocolates.....

So, in the nearly 2 years and ~38k miles in the E30 Theres been zero incidents with me behind the wheel. I've had my C350 for jus over 4 months now and maybe 7500 miles and its already got a nasty ding in the side of the hood from some shit flying off a truck on I5 and now I have a flat... good news is that Im dailying the E30 again

I keep spinning the tires in first in the rain (for fun-zies), and the car hooks to one side. Maybe my lsd is worn..?

[ak-]

Completely hooks one side? Or gradually sways your car to one side?
Mine does that as well, but not real severe. I want to rebuild my diff as well with more lock, but $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$.

Maybe when I'm done with the other 15 things I need/want, lol.

At least it's something that can just be fixed I think. I need to have a few parts of the drivers seat re welded

I think my throttle cable is about to die. Idle hangs high, usually wont drop down and so when I checked the cable itself to see if it was getting hung up it appears to be slightly frayed. Time to finally buy the correct E34 cable for this 24v swap. ICV is new with the swap so I know thats not it. Im going to go with the obvious issue and even if it doesnt fix my problem, Ive fixed a problem.

I was doing that today too on my way home from school lol. My LSD usually starts sliding to the left, doubt yours is worn.

Gradual. The suspension is soft so nothing is sharp, so it's easy to catch before it falls too far out of line. It's "cautious" fun in the same way playing poker with chips but no currency is fun.

good exhaust shop in the valley

Hey socal crew,

I just bought a 92 325i Convertible last weekend. yay me!
Anyways the car has no exhaust from the cat back, just straight pipe lol.. Its annoyingly loud, so I was wondering if someone could suggest an affordable muffler shop in the valley that could help me out. I live in North Hollywood and work in Canoga Park..

I want to do a magnaflow or borla system eventually, but need something in the meantime while I save my money..

any suggestions are appreciated

thanks!
