    Anyway, you might be waiting a while for the M30 to blow, especially since you've sorted out the top end oiling.
    the shifter ergonomics seem just fine for a car like this. it doesnt feel like a reach, but its no sports car. im not looking to do any motor swaps anytime soon, so i would like it to run forever. i just worry sometimes that it wont pass CA smog, as these early motronics need the motor to be sealed tighter than tight.

    That's what I said when I got the rear wheels to finally clear the fender. With no camber adjustment, it was cutting it close.

    thanks! Going from point A to B now may take a bit longer. Not because its slow but because its more fun to drive.
