    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

    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.

    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

    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

    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.

    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.

    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?
