so 8 months later i was finally able to plan a trip to SD to get my e30 and vacation for a week while i was there. and i had a blast.
initiate photo dump!
start with maintenance of the tow rig. (1999 7.4L suburban) i knew it needed some pre trip work done so dove right into it the week i was leaving.
i ended up replacing the upper manifold gasket (because you have to remove the plenum to get to the fuel pressure regulator), dist. cap and rotor, plug wires, air filter, fuel filter, injector orings, and i wasn't expecting to replace my ignition coil.
get it all back together and it doesn't start. fuck me. figured out the parts store sold me a shit coil. so i swapped it out and boom it ran. go to pull it out and it then it dies. fuck me again what now. found out my ignition control module fried out. so i swapped that and success! i was super stressed at this point cause i was leaving the next day for the 2200 mile round trip.
big car problems
loaded up some tools
got my trailer
filled up
and we were gone!
hit the road and saw this gem
little further we saw some guys frozen lake racing, looks like fun, ill have to see what this is all about.
obligatory eisenhower tunnel picture
no offense to anyone who lives there, but i **** utah, its boring, flat, cold, mormon, and the cops suck.
hit vegas
absolutely had to stop at in&out and pig out
finally got to SD after a 20hr straight through dive.
a buddy of mine from santa ana came down and wanted to slide, i couldn't resist =]

good thing i brought a trailer lol
my homie roofus
got some bomb mexican food, this is a super burrito. feeds a small village
had to hit the beach cause the weather was just that good
then finally went to see how my abandoned e30 looked
to my surprise it looked pretty damn good, just had to put gas in it, jump start it and we where on our way.
hit up coronado island
this was kinda cool
saw some friends and old co-workers
then of course had more truck problems, i want a diesel so bad
had more bomb food
saw this sweet G
then i helped the friend who was storing my car put the motor back in his c10
it actually has a HUGE blower that sits atop it too.
needed more good eats, scallop tacos and buffalo chicken burrito
picked up a bike for my pops
loaded up the bummer
got some amazing sweets (fucking expensive but worth it)
and got the fuck back on the road. gonna miss you cali
plans for the e30. soon, do an I motor swap, new trans, lows, wheels, and maybe a late model bumper conversion. thanks for reading.
stay tuned.
