A buddy and I have had good luck with Mobil tractor/industrial product oil in his trans. Shifts awesome

Also got my car running good, there will be a surprise soon!

Sup Guys, I'm In Oregon for another week. Anything local going on so see the e30 scene out here?

I'm new to the local scene but I'll be at Cascade Cars and Coffee Portland on Saturday morning from 8-11am at Cascade Station by the Portland Airport, and if it's not raining I'll have the 325iC (leaky top). Anyone else want to meet up then?

Ooh, bad week for a leaky top convertible, huh?

Ooh, bad week for a leaky top convertible, huh?

Yeah. Until the top is fixed the car has to stay in the garage all the time unless dry outside. I have a 1988 Corolla base model shitbox to putter around in at least. 30+ MPG isn't so bad in a tin can. If the wife is home I sometimes take her 2008 CX-9 touring. It always works out somehow.

Is that first one a factory color?

[e30austin]

Lol at me. Yeah, it's a factory colour. Delphin-gray metallic.

Are you playing pocket pool or fondling your iphone in that first photo?

[ZoomZoomBoom]

Oh yeah, I remember that day.

[Cronopoulos]

Lol at me. Yeah, it's a factory colour. Delphin-gray metallic.

Thanks man! That was my first guess but it must be the lighting ;) Looks killer.. Your car looks awesome as well!

So in my metals and jewelry class i got this shift nob that didn't fit my car so i got a mold of it and then i will pour a hard wax into it and will be able to carve whatever i want if i'd like.

after that i am going to cast it in aluminum or other types of metals and i am able to plate it in silver and if they come out as good as i think i would be willing to make custom shift nobs for you guys for a small price ?:crazy:

[EN318isPDX]

I just threw up, thats a shift knob? Looks more like a sex toy
