Charlie's Official Update Thread
Well, here's my 1988 LX-i coupe...again. Right now it's sitting at 191,211 and counting. Not much has changed, but I'm working my way into lowering it some more and getting some other shit. Hahaha, I don't even know...
E30 bottlecaps! <3

Re: Charlie's Official Update Thread
Coupe looks great with those wheels on it! What did you lower it with?

^^True! BTW Nice coupe Charlie.

Re: Charlie's Official Update Thread
Yeah looks great. Just need to straighten out that hood and get a grille.
-
Re: Charlie's Official Update Thread
Soon I will be getting a new hood (with grill) and doors (see dings and creases) altogether, once I get my wisdom teeth out and a new job. (:
Definitely got four brand new tires for $60 on Craigslist with less than 200 miles on them.

Re: Charlie's Official Update Thread
Subs installed. Pictures soon.
I fucking hate inconsiderate people. My car was backed into by someone with a hitch and now there's an indentation in my bumper and it sags. :c

Re: Charlie's Official Update Thread
I hate when people do that! They must pay!!!

Re: Charlie's Official Update Thread
Woot, went to Mike's today and:
- changed air conditioning, power steering, and alternator belts
- flushed coolant system
- flushed transmission
- installed new front-left axle (constant-velocity boot went bad)
- installed center vents!
I think that's it...
Next time:
- upper camshaft seal
- inner distributor seal
- fuel-injector o-rings
- timing belt
- head gasket
-
Re: Charlie's Official Update Thread
Sounds like you're fixing things up right. Good priories to get all the real important parts out of the way.
-
Re: Charlie's Official Update Thread
Yep. I decided that whilst this isn't the prettiest 3G I've had nor that I can find, but it was cheap as fuck and runs like hell so I can't complain...just fix. :D

Thanks, guys!
As far as more updates: I bought a late 80's ski rack to put on my car, mostly for looks, but I will put it to use if I can.

WTF? I didnt remember saying I would do a timing belt and head gasket? You messing with me? Those are pretty time consuming projects. I can do the timing belt with the water pump, oil pump and lower main seal in about 5 hours but the head gaskets is going to take a few days unless you have a reconditioned head to swap onto it.
-
Re: Charlie's Official Update Thread
lolol, you said something about the head when I was up there, and the timing belt is a long-term thing as my car is close to being due. Probably not until summer, at least.

Re: Charlie's Official Update Thread
Haha, I used to have all four but I took them off to give the car a more updated/clean look.

So, am I crazy and delving into something I probably can't handle, or should I go for it?
