    Just moved to portland!

    Hey guys, just moved to Portland yesterday and I Love it already! From What I can tell, there is a decent e30 following here and that makes me Happy! There was hardly any in Minnesota. I did a 5 speed swap only days before driving from MN to here, so that was a hell of a test drive..Lol

    So... I'm super interested in getting into the e30 scene here and meeting the people that Love these cars like I do. So if anyone wants to grab a beer or something and talk BMW's I'm totally down. Also, I'm looking for somewhere to work on my car in Portland or nearby. I am fairly handy and have worked on cars quite a bit for just a hobby wrencher. Hoping to replace the rear trans seal as it developed a slight leak on the way out.

    If I can't make any e30 friends here than I am at least hoping to get suggestions for the best shops to bring my e30 to in Portland, who has the most experience with e30s around here? I am in the southeast area fyi.

    So I'd Love to meet some people and learn more about this city and e30s, so hit me up!

    thanks

        trans seal

        hay welcome to portland. depending on the time and how soon you are to replace that seal, cuase i gotta replace the 2 seals on my 5 speed too. but im not in no real hurry to get at them but if timing is right we could do them at the same time.

          I recommend EH Motorsports for any kind of work you need. He's very reasonable at $50 per hour and is quite experienced.

          There will be a little meet here in the next week or two. Keep checking this section for a thread.

              That would be great! As far as I'm concerned, the sooner the better, but I can wait too. What ever works for you! Of course I'll supply the beer and some dough as Well. Just let me know!

                        Price check on Vagiclean, aisle five. I repeat: price check on Vagiclean, aisle five. That's Vagiclean. We've got a customer down here with a full-on fallopian fungus. I'm baking a loaf of bread and I think it's sourdough.
