well it's either leave it on the street here in front of my folks house, or take it with me and try and get a garage/spot for it. we'll see how my first year goes i guess.

get a bicycle!!

...Or a scooter. Cheapest & fastest way to get around Seattle. 90mpg ruckus, fill up every 1.5 weeks for $5...

And live in the dorms, you won't ever get to do it again. I wish I could.

In WA you don't have to insure motorcycles/scooters either. I bought my first for $650 just because I couldn't afford a crap car (and its maintenance/insurance). But then at $125/yr for full insurance coverage, I wised up before anything dumb happened.

Those of you with M20's.... I have a random yet important question. When cranking, do you normally see oil seep out of the galleys in the head and or oil squirters or is there a minimum rpm (once started) that you will see this...

[e30Rooster]

For me at idle it just drips out of the oil bar, and volume increases with rpm.

Also, UW parking for scooters/motorcycles is like, $50 a quarter.

I will probably have to get it started to verify the pump is working correctly. I cranked for 3 (10) second bursts in hopes to prime the system, i did not see anything seeping out of the head while cranking.

The oil pump has 8k miles on it since new, verified the assembly was turning as well. Just covering my ass, thanks for any insight..

I could see it being the ATS-V engine instead of the LS3/LT1/LSA but all of the HiPo motors in the LS series will likely start moving to the LT base.

True, I can't wait to see what the General comes up with in regards to the hipo cars. If they're going to stuck with some forced induction or go back to a displacement increase.

Either way, an ATS-V might be fun. I wonder how the car would handle the extra power.

Hey guys. So my parts came in!!!

So excited. Now I wanna know how the f**** do you get this thing off the water pump!?
The fan holder thing. It's pissing me off! Lol

Put the 4 bolts back in the pulley and use a big flathead between 2 bolts to hold it while turning CLOCKWISE to loosen the clutch.

If you are financing your entire education then selling the E30 isn't even going to make a dent. And when you need a car after school you most likely wont be able to afford one for awhile due to the debt. I'd say keep it.

OR
LY?

The cost of fuel and insurance alone is enough to take up a whole food, clothes, and school supply budget.

Living debt free is the key to success. Period

That reminds me, don't I owe you a bunch of money?

We are talking about student loans, not living expenses. Those are things you need to pay for regardless of being in school or not. If you cannot afford to feed yourself then obviously you shouldn't own a vehicle.
