Cant wait to see you start the turbo swap, that should make it more fun to drive.

I can say, I did one year at h20i without a car and I think I had more fun, then again that was when cops were not a problem tho.

Ol' Turbo Bastard

Gonna be a while before the turbo motor can go in. Still have to plan for and save for the next move. Wherever that will be to. As much as I love the south, I feel like moving there would be backtracking in a way. PNW feels like a more blank slate to start over in, though the cost of living there is much higher than TN/GA. So, we'll see how it goes.

This will be my 3rd time at H2O, 2nd one without my car. I almost like it better that way.

Small update: bought a used stock in-tank fuel pump for ODB tonight. Hopefully now I'll be able to fill it up without fuel spilling everywhere like I do with the Airtex pump that doesn't completely seal to my stock sending unit.

Looks like I won't be picking up the M106 till after SEMA, the seller is super busy getting his project car ready for that show, but oh well. May have BimmerHeads do a little work to the cylinder head and cam to get a little more power out of it.

Saw your car parked in Redlands yesterday, it caught my eye as I was pulling around. Looking good and low. Showed my wife why I still like vintage BMWs, just dont get to see them much.

Haha, thanks man! Yeah I've seen maybe 2 or 3 other e24s around Redlands, though none of them were modified. Couple of e30s out here too. Seems like 80's BMWs are a rare thing around here.

I sold my 318is two years back, now I'm thinking of picking up another vintage Bimmer (2002 maybe), something to keep for a while. (probably should have held on to the 3).

See you around

Currently trying to find a set of either manual dove grey e36 vaders, or another set of power e24 sport seats. The busted "comfort" seats I currently have are murder on my low back.

I just saw this. Im on the look out for a full modena interior for my e36, if I find one we could probably make a deal on my seats.

Bought a set of Zender side skirts and a rear M-tech wing at SoCal Vintage. Probably not the brightest idea to be spending hundreds of dollars when I'm planning on moving in under 6 months, but oh well. I'll post pics once everything is mounted up.

[C2_mad]

Any update on this?

[theseeker411]

Not really. Bought a Ducati that's been taking up a lot of funds and spare time. Did get the side skirts mounted at least. Hopefully gonna start moving forward with the motor swap in the next month or two.

hi cj!

Hi Matt!

It has occurred to me today that once again I have a shit ton of work ahead of me to get ODB ready for another cross country drive to Savannah, GA. Definitely need to get the brakes redone with new pads, a fluid change, and an e32 750i master cylinder. Also I really want to get another set of seats, because the comfort seats suck. Hopefully I can get going on the motor swap in the next couple of weeks, but if not then I'll just have to make sure the trusty M30 is up for the job again.

I had no clue you moved out west lol. I remember seeing your car at Big Daddy's during SoWo with a giant filled garbage bag on the passenger seat

It makes a lot more sense with all the traveling you did... assuming that was your suitcase?
