Defiantly not an E30

Good catch, I looked at the shredding action and not at the remainder of the car lol.  They called it a 91 so my mind did not even consider someone to be subpar at identifying something so obvious.  Fake news...

yeah, they said 1991 so thats fair game for either

That makes me wonder. Did Canadia get the US E36 M3 or the Euro E36 M3?

I think 1994 in Canada was euro spec s50 but only 50 or so, read that along the journey years ago. Rest was the same junk as the us

Why?

[Earl]

Easy way to free up money and shift my priorities back onto the compact instead of constantly worrying about fixing the coupe. Plus who can say no to 40mpg's when they're used to 25mpg's haha

[REKIII]

Corolla S as a replacement?

[Earl]

Honda Del Sol Si!

I saw you asking for parts for that.....wow, what a down grade, but you knew that.  You are 100% correct in that it will keep your focus on the compaqut which is nice!

Soul sucking front wheel drive...

Started it on daily duty today and it is actually surprisingly fun to drive=)

Speaking of super fun practical cars... It looks like I will be learning how to rebuild a U151F automatic transmission from my Sienna van.  It was working better after cleaning the valve body but still has problems when it gets hot.  It just seems to totally disengage.  When cold it actually works pretty good.  Too much fluid leaking around spools in the valve body?  I have no idea but I am going to take it out and disassembly, I found FSM documentation of the disassembly/assembly procedure and specs for clutch pack clearances so it can't be that hard...

No matter what I won't really trust it not to leave my wife stranded until I fix it properly.  I tried the easy stuff already (Lucas trans doctor) and the medium stuff (take the valve body apart and clean it).
