What a peach!

I've had the first drive after the new clutch, timing chain tensioner, c/a bushings, brakes,  Bilsteins (touring) with all associated hardware front and rear, all new fluids everywhere, and a couple of vacuum lines were installed and all I can saw is wow!  I did the brakes but had the rest done at TKX Performance in Huntington, NY.  It cost quite a bit, as did the car which is quite nice, but it looks like a 2 year old car in and out and drives as near to new as I think is possible 17.5 years out.

All I need to do now is swap in my ebay sourced fogs, which are a good deal better than those on the car, do an H1/H4 conversion, install a better H/U & speakers, then just maintain and enjoy.   Later on, I'll need som snows on steelies as I don't want to subject the nice Ronals on it to salt!

Boy am I upside down on this thing

heh, I'm slowly making my way towards that back in 1991 feel.

Part of me hates the long slow slide into being a checkbook mechanic, but I have 2 young kids and am primary financial support for the fam, so I hustle @ work and just don't have lots of time to spin wrenches...I also need the DD to work all the time...

I must admit that a properly sorted E30 - even a base sedan - is quite a kick to drive and surprisingly resposive around 80mph! (OK, the car does have a 93 octane chip and more modern rubber on nice 15" wheels, but is otherwise bone stock.)
