Well I swapped wheels/tires today with my friend's E30. Hate chrome. I also had a new catylatic convertor installed today, passed smog with flying colors. Need to give my papers to the DMV. I think the rear engine seal is leaking oil onto the clutch and/or pressure plate. The slipping went away as the day got warmer, and I drove harder. The car sat for a while, slipping reared its ugly head yet again. The strut hats are also toast. What else? Installing my shifter rejuvination kit next week -- consists of 25 parts. Fun fun. First and foremost, it will be a cruiser/daily driver... then as I gather more funds, it will be an all-out track car!! SCCA here I come!
