Hi r3v PNW!

[Habla]

Hi r3v,

My name is Peter, and I've been on here since '04 (the days of Jordan, andreNY, digital wave,ryan stewart, and blunt, etc..). This was back when I was still in high school and driving an Accord. Fast forward to last summer, when I moved from seattle to Vancouver for school, and my e30 love rekindled.

Over thanksgiving break, I found an early black coupe for sale, but didn't have the money, so I traded my Ruckus and some cash for it. I drove it up to seattle with a bad master cylinder and separating ball joints, and then left it at my parents until christmas.

Over christmas break, I installed a new master cylinder and R&R'd the ball joints. I would almost pay someone to do the BJs next time. Such a shitty job, and my first job under the car. I still have blown shocks, but at least I won't die now.

I might have to find a bike again for the summer (just saw plus at $4.05, who knows what summer prices will be!?!?). Kinda miss the Ruckus' 90mpg, but loving my black german coupe.

So I think most of you have seen a stock eta before, but here she is, 26 years young:

Ever put that S3.73 in? Hope to see you at a meet sometime!

Hi talk lolz

[Habla]

Haven't put it in yet (TWSS)

Without an engine swap, wouldn't the 3.73 be to much on the freeway? Debating whether to fix my leaks or let it die and then swap. I don't want to dump money into an eta engine only to push a swap further into the future.

I think I'll be coming to the garage swap this weekend...

[Wishno87]

You live right off 99th street? I think i recognize those apartments.

[Habla]

Yup, Parklane. Cheapest around! Wish I had gotten a tiny house with a huge garage, though.

[Eta power]

I'll have to keep an eye out for you as I cruse around town.

[Habla]

I don't go very far, just to campus and such. Having cooling issues; I don't really trust her yet.

[Habla]

So how good can a $50 e28 look?

[Wishno87]

Hey man you want a front bumper? I noticed yours looks a little boned.

[Habla]

I'd love one in case I don't get some eurohumpers this weekend!

Have to bend my fender back as well, but euro bumpers will cure that corner for sure.

[Eta power]

So how good can a $50 e28 look?

Pretty damn good, actually.

[Habla]

Sick!

I need some mudflaps now...

[e30austin]

I think with an S3.73, the ETA and the G260, you'll probably be turning ~3k at 70mph in 5th gear (give or take a little.) Course, you can't turn much more then that with the ETA. Lol.

If you don't end up using it fairly soon, I do have a buddy who would probably buy it off you. Let me know if you want his contact information.
