I'm moving there with my E30 M20 iC in two months and will have to smog test it. What shops do you guys trust with your E30s? AFAIO it runs fine but needs a fan clutch which I will do before testing.

smog tests are cheap as hell here.... 25 bones usually... i took it to the one across the street from the DMV on Sahara an 10 minutes later I was done. The shop I go to to have any work done though is PPR Automotive. they always do a good job

Most places on Decatur run around $16 for smog, but yeah its chep here and almost no where has a wait. And PPR is the only place I would recomend as well.
Where at in WA are you comming from? I just moved here from the Puget Sound area myself 10 months ago

passing smog / inspection isnt much of an issue compare to most other states.. PPR Auto will be what everyone here will trust like they mentioned ^ post some pics of your E30 325iC!

I live in Walla Walla- wine and wheat country.

if u can get on the base those guys will get anything to pass smog

I could, actually. But I'm not so worried about it not passing as I am about it overheating in the process -- hence the need for the fan clutch.

The car is a bit of a project, but it looks a lot better than the crappy pictures would suggest.

Looks good, that bitch needs a drop though

check out www.pprauto.com they're located off of E. Charleston & Mojave.

+1 on the drop!

Yup, I keep hearing that it should be lowered every time I show pictures! Maybe someday I'll get around to it after I finish some of the other projects.

Wade, get some decent 17's since its already lowered, get e30 m3 kit, then get a m52 328i motor or s50 m3 motor & drop it in that sucker...hehe..:D then you'll be tearing up most stock e36's on the street lol.

Yet, more great advise, especially from someone with a bone stock car (except the wheels, i know). Are you posting random shit just to get your post count higher or what?

the s50 idea has already been thought about. i will have enough money for that when i get back from a deployment!

man i couldnt imagine having a smog test done on my car. the gov't would probably trash my car. how do yall get around modding the car?

Why are you just getting on my ass about everything now Lucky? I've been a nice guy but frankly whatever, i'm not even gonna bother saying anymore bullshit on this fucking thread i'll just request to admin to ban me & not have to worry anymore since it seems that things don't get any easier for me

Im going to get on ANYONE'S ass and bust there balls if they make stupid post. Not only are you thread jacking, but your thread jacking to tell someone to put $10,000 worth of shit onto their car, when you have a stock car yourself. Its not you personally, its the pointless post you make over and over again when it seems like your just trying to get your post count higher and one-up everyone.....atleast thats what you've bragged about trying to accomplish on several other pointless post you've written.

I mean all i'm fucking saying is some stuff that i think he should do later on, i'm not saying to do it fucking right now...i guess maybe i can try to show to a few meets & just sit in a fucking corner but not like it fucking matters right because "i drive a stock car"..

Kevin, stop being a baby. This is getting ridiculous. So what's the deal with you not being on the MLS? You are a realtor right? I mean you even went to my new home to do an inspection. Or did you just want to know what my new addy was and look at the house? It's kinda freakin me out.....Reminds me of the Cable Guy.

This All Belongs On The Kevin Thread, Not Someone Elses Thread!!

yes im almost uo to 40 post counts.......kevin once again someone has uncovered another lie u need to quit now before u do some serious damage

Hey guys my dad is planning to get a 330 couple is this a good model or not

Yeah all bimmers are great. :D So what year is he getting?

all but urs ooooo......he was looking at 03...i figure once a get another stripe its either a 330 or a 350z .not sure for now the sentra will do...but i leening toward a 330 they hold there value i guess.

Nah bro, once you get your stripe, either 350Z or M3. Like I said I came real close to buying a 350Z. Brand new, Lemans Sunset.....oh man that machine is great. It's definitely a drivers car. But when I saw this M3 and sat in it, I instantly knew this was it. Like that guy in the seminar said that we went to a couple nights ago..."GO HARD OR GO HOME"

M3 hmmmmm.....i could pick one for the same price i would buy a new 350z for

You're talking about an E46 M3 or an E36? You can get an E36 M3 for under 20k.

i thinking more like an 02 maybe is that a good yr

Like Mei's right? I think an 02 will run upwards in the high 28k to over 30k.

hmmm not to bad maybe a 01 then lol...thats bad for real i bet a can get then down around 27 out the door .....i guest i better make E6 then...

Did you guys have a great time just this weekend? Hey how bout this Sunday for Red ROck Cruise + lunch & brunch & probably watch a movie? Also John got any extra fireworks for me, all the booths that sells the fireworks i do not like.:D

Awesome race T.J.. YOu gotta rematch a STi from a roll...I remember you telling me you lost to a STi a while back but was it from a stop or a roll? Because STi's are a lot slower from a roll from what i heard & surely seems like it.

T.J., John, Lucky, Wade, etc...you guys coming Sunday for lil Red ROck drive? Maybe we can all meet up at that same Best Buy parking lot you all met up at last time with Dan & the two Porsche guys?

Also T.J. i got another bottle for ya & probably couple more bottles to go around to probably Wade since he really wanted one & probably John if my friend can get me the other two extra lol.

Hey who's down for fantasy football? Several friends of mine have been doing this for the past couple years. And I've won everytime. It's a 100 dollar buy in if you guys are interested. We all meet up every Sunday at BWW's, drink massive beer, and talk shit to each other and enjoy the games. We plan on having the draft in a couple of weeks.

Those numbers are for the auto 350Z. I dont know why but the number are pretty different for auto to manuals... maybe the gearing, but I dont know thats gears would have that much affect of hp numbers.... I took by almost a car length....i got the jump, he over took me at the beginning of second, by the end of second we were nose to nose, third gear i walked him. Thanks in part to my ltw fly... i love that thing except when its chattering and hot chicks look at me funny....
