    Being european, does the radio frequency change at all? Probably a stupid question

    No good question! Not sure what this unit isn't in the us market because it does cover the full American spectrum. I haven't bought the correct antenna wiring yet but many on bimmer forums have had no issues.

      My latest and greatest theory on the once-a-month random-loss-of-power/failure-to-run-at-all e34 life.

      -or-

      One of several hundred (non moving parts) reasons you shouldn't daily a 25-year-old car.

      IMG20170312195704441zpsjk2oxgjf.jpg

      Car runs great 99.8% of the time. The other 0.2% it doesn't run at all. If you giggle the fuel pump relay, it seems to make no difference. If you jump the contacts with a paper clip it runs fine. However, since it runs perfectly 99.8% of the time (at random), you're never sure if the changes you made actually changed something, or if it just randomly decided to start working again...

          What I am wondering is what are engine limitations, can they be 2stroke? Age restrictions? Is there certain days that you can run them on the drag strip? I read up on a lot of info online but it would be nice to know exact info from someone that had done it.

          Wow....missed this.  My Cousin is now in his late 20's, os it's been a few years since they actually participated.  They usually go through a rule overhaul every few years. My relatives would have a little insight but nothing relevant.  I bet there are internet forums dedicated to this.

                  I often fantasize about someone giving me money in exchange for the e34... then reality comes flying back...

                      Rich man's Beetle. I do think the 914 was the lowest car I have been in as far as seating position goes

                        914's are neat. 70-71 models are a pain to get parts for.

                          The ecu for a fuel injected 914 looks like an ammo box or some kind of military communications box

                            LS swap, coilovers, and some flared fenders and that things could be an auto-x monster.

                              For some reason I always liked the looks of these. Then again I also liked the old Karmann Ghias. There was a guy autoxing a 914 at Miller Park years ago. Slow but it looked like fun.

                                The PCA 914 guys looked like they were having a blast at RA. I've always liked them but I'm sure its like a first gen boxster, super disappointing to drive.

                                    I honestly don't even know much about them. I saved a couple searches on ebay about 10 years ago, and never deleted them. (relatively)Recently it started popping up results from those searches when I go to the homepage. I threw in a $2000 bid when it was at $500 because why not. Makes my Tuesday evening a little more interesting. Of course now it's at $11,000 and I've lost all interest. Such is the life of a hipster wannabe.

                                      This seems like a good place to say hello again after joining once, saying hello, and then disappearing.
