WIBIMMERS

I remember when you drove this to Quaker Steak in New Berlin for one of the meets long time ago. I feel the pain on the project priorities but it's time will come.

It looks like I missed out on a great time. I had a bachelor party I had to attend. Next year I'm in!

Nice "beater."

Subframe bushings, Doing anything with the pedals (manual swap), oil pan gasket replacement (in car), and steering rack replacement with engine in place. these are my least favorite jobs on an E30.   Life gets better!

I jumped on a set of ZCP wheels over the weekend since they're NLA and don't pop up too often for sale [image: IMG\_1298.jpg]

idkizzle off the top my head ryan. but +1 to the 1911. i has one and i love it. its a springfield a1 with target barrel, magwell, adjustable trigger, bomar rear sight and 10k rounds on one frame-off cleaning [image: :)]

Hah! I think most of the video was from earlier in the day. After you got there I think they were too busy drifting the 'burb. [image: :lol:]

snap said: Nice photo I like that those aren’t a style of wheel you typically see on an E90. A dab of ride height reduction and some 15mm or so spacers would finish things off nicely Thanks! I was going for something different so it would stick out a little. I definitely need some coilovers, trying to work on something to make that happen sooner than I initially thought. I think the stance will look better once its lowered some, the rears should tuck a little and the fronts are pretty spot on. Of course we have snow on the ground now so I don't want to drive it on these tires, I ended up going with the Pilot Sport 4S, they don't like the cold.

I remember you taking a photo of my E28 now! lol, was rewiring my auxiliary fan! LOL

Kicker was it rained heavy early Sunday, was dry for the rest of the day with clear skies for practice, qualifying and five race run groups...until we (the 6th group) were sitting in grid a few minutes before race start and then a brief downpour. At least the track eventually dried off after an extra parade lap, an extra lap for an aborted start (field too stretched out), and a few more race laps. Next up for me is the Badger Bimmers event at BFR and NASA at Gingerman in June, and the early July Midwestern Council race at BFR. Just for something different this season I'd like one weekend at BFR where it's not raining!

Yard sale

YoungCR said: Congrats on the purchase, love the color! I got the 4x4 itch too, it opens up a whole new door for driving adventures. This wagon is still one of my favorite modern cars on here though. I'm sure the new owner will enjoy it just as much. Thanks! It totally does, I'm looking forward to taking some trips and getting out in the woods! It's actually pretty fun (in a silly way) on road and in corners too. And totally agree but I'm definitely biased haha.  Bassboy3313 said: Wish the touring was coming home with me, but I'm sure it's still going to a good home. Congrats on the bronco too! Thanks! I wish there were more to go around too...  P_Roloff said: Congrats on the new Ferd Joe! Having seen it in person, the color and overall looks are even better than the photos, which is saying something. Now that you officially posted about it though I think there’s a requirement for photos of it hard parked with one wheel on a big ass snowdrift Thanks!! I was hoping for some snow drifts to go bombing through this morning but we ended up getting nothing but rain  Enjoy the new ride!!

Great turn out!

131,050 [image: IMG\_4936.jpeg] Well, my time with this car has come to an end. What a wonderful car and one I’ll truly miss, but it was time. It sat nearly all summer and was just getting to be a pain to maintain on top of the truck, e30, and e91. It went to a local guy who was looking for a neat older car to learn to wrench on, so I think it’ll suit him well. It remains the quietest, most solidly built car I’ve ever owned, it was seriously a tank. Hung the tail out in the snow pretty impressively too. Replaced the blower motor before I sold it, and sent two sets of wheels and most of my e34 spares along as well. I’m excited to have the space back, one less project, and to be able to focus more on the E91 and E30. I still have the MOMO Heritage 6’s and the m-systems, if anyone was wondering haha. MOMO’s will be listed as soon as I wash them, and the M-Systems will hopefully get their restoration completed once the e30 is back on the road.    Farewell to the E34 club, it’s been a good ride!

damn BMW and their random change overs. ran into that with my car vs. parts car (build dates of 3/93 and 9/93)

I will add pics later, but progress is being made! (famous last words) E30 has the linkage modified, rack installed, pump rebuilt, and is waiting on one section of 14mm ID power steering hose to get fully bolted together. Gotta bend the high pressure line to fit it as well, hoping I can get it right the first time without kinking. After that, it gets bolted together and test driven. Fingers crossed. I also decided to put a new ATE clutch slave in with the new line since a) it already has to come out, b) the brand i bought apparently has a habit of stranding folks within a few thousand miles, c) ATE is the OEM manufacturer, and d) mine went to the floor once last year randomly and never did it again. I'll throw the old one in a ziploc in the trunk just in case though. For the line, I went to Pegasus and bought a premade -4an braided stainless brake/clutch hose. I got the 21" version with one end straight and one end at 90 degrees. I also grabbed a spare 24" hose section in case the 21" isn't long enough (I measured with a piece of baling wire, it was a ROUGH estimate) and a s a spare. Total cost for both hoses and the two brake fittings needed to go from AN to M10 bubble flare was less than the Chasebays premade part. We'll see how it is to install but it seems to be a good alternative if you want to ditch the stock multi-piece clutch hydraulic setup and spend closer to $40. I also took the time to solder and marine heatshrink the C191 connector wires. When the engine someday comes back out of the car, I will properly install a waterproof connector but for now it's permanent and i trust those more than butt splices on those itty bitty wires. I can't foresee a situation where I'd need the intake off without the head also coming off, at which point the engine is getting yanked anyways. Snagged some headlights from @The Full Banana earlier this year, and found that the lenses were already cut off of them. Going to heat and pry the busted lens out of my low beam and silicone the freshie in for now, and source a low beam U.S. ellipsoid housing/lens (driver's side, if anyone has one) to put in the other set and restore this summer when I have more time. Getting closer! Can't wait to get some shakedown miles in, the deadline for the vintage is creeping up fast.

Over due non-update from over a month ago. I attempted pulling the injectors but was reminded that the engine harness was in poor condition and ended up breaking a coolant sensor. It was wired without a oem plug and the connections broke off the sensor itself  The car is buried in storage now. [image: 3C7AFC5A-E3E0-4499-8246-20DE8CD3FB8B.jpeg]
