Yea, you missed the bike riding season. End of June/ Beginning of July (typically July 5th lol) begins the two months of heaven, then September brings back the gray.

Theres definitely a lot of Pros if you can use the weather to your benefit. Glad you guys found something you're happy with. Huge E30 scene up there too, but you already knew that. Octoberfest begins soon so plan to head to Leavenworth if you havent already... I miss that place at times but 100% of my family that lives in America also lives in California so living up there became harder and harder.

We are spending next weekend in Leavenworth. The beautiful days are really beautiful. But it's been raining a great deal of the time.

annnnnnnd, things didn't work out. The u-joints on my driveshaft are shot (1989 325i Auto).

Does anyone have a local shop they trust to rebuild, or who would I order from online?

Anyone here have experience getting AC to work on an M5x/S5x motor in their e30? This is the last part I'm freaked out by, but want to complete with the swap.

Does anyone have a shop they trust with corner balancing and rear alignment with the AKG camber and tow adjusting bolts?

Oceanside Motor Sports has corner balancing equipment and can properly assist with anything e30.

Hi Nor-Cal,

Looking for a shop recommendation. I've been recommended JMP in the Burbank/LA area but if I can get it in a shop before it really starts to rain that would be awesome.

They will need to be able to diagnose something simple...here's my 4 month thread on it:

https://www.r3vlimited.com/board/forum/e30-technical-forums/general-technical/9861439-abs-issue-anti-lock-light

Whatever the problem is it is physical and I want to know what it is before I throw a turbo into the equation. Will be switching to big brakes soon but am obsessed with getting the ABS working/figuring out wtf is wrong with it as I know it isn't an electrical issue.

While they are at it I will have them install my kevlar clutch, throwout bearing, shave the flywheel a little, and I'm sure they will have a sniffer to tune my afr because I'm curious to see how far I am off before I switch to MS2. I've got everything prepped for all the diagnostics and the work as well as all the parts and spare parts necessary for testing.

Thanks in advance for any help!!!
