  MM Sticker Found Under A Bus In Switzerland
Posted by: Eco_Boi_Stephen - 03-26-2019, 09:10 AM - Forum: Lounge - Replies (160)

Did a quick search on the forums and I could not find a TRAVEL thread though I've heard some mentions here and there so lmk if we can move this somewhere else please... 

I'll be studying abroad this May for an International Business Law class in Belgium, Switzerland, and France. I'll be staying in London by myself for a weekend before the study abroad portion begins. This will be my first time traveling internationally so I'm looking for any advice to make my experience as fun as possible! LMK where you've been and what you've learned! 

--I'll add more details about the trip when I'm out of class and not getting stared down by my professor

Hi everyone, my name is Amanda Garbim. I'm not a new MM member but I currently started to get more involved in the club. I'm sophomore and my major is International Affairs. My older brother is a member too and I'm here because of him. Basically, he is the reason why I'm interested in cars but my true love is motorcycles. I have two motorcycles, one Kawasaki Ninja 300cc and a Honda CRF 230cc, which I made as a motard. Unfortunately, it's been one year since the last time I drove my motorcycles because they are back home in Brazil and I'm here for college. I started to ride motorcycles when I was 15 years old influenced by my father, who races with me. In the first picture, my bike is the purple one (the most beautiful bike) and my dad's bike is the green one. The second picture is my motard. 
     
   


  Don't meet your heroes - E30 Vert
Posted by: Senor_Taylor - 03-19-2019, 11:49 AM - Forum: Member's Projects - Replies (61)

Hello everyone and welcome back to the Taylor show. In today's episode, we have a cheap E30 convertible. 

I've been looking for an E30 vert for cheap in my quest to own the different E30 variants and I found this one listed for way too much money. I was the first to look at the car and snagged it yesterday for quite a lot less than he was asking. Apparently he bought the car to learn how to work on things, realized he was no good at turning wrenches and then his wife made him get rid of it so it'd stop being a smelly eye sore in their nice neighborhood. 

1990 Vert. White on Blue. Pre Facelift. 164,000 miles.

The photos showed some fender rust, but he also didn't mention in the ad that he had a shop professionally fix the rust over the winter. Doesn't seem like a smart way to sell a car, but his loss is my gain. Of course there's a shit ton wrong with the car and trying to make this into a "clean" E30 would be a completely stupid idea as it would cost many times the value of the car. What the car does have is potential. The motor is probably the smoothest, most quiet, and strongest M20 I've felt and the trans shifts very well. It also is well optioned, with sport seats (standard in all verts) but they're heated and it also has an LSD. It also doesn't seem to leak any oil (but it does leak gas). 

That's where the "good" stops and the bad begins. There's a lot of hacky shit done that I'm going to clean up, and the thing is REALLY dirty. A lot of things will be fixed with some simple rewiring, lubricating, and cleaning, so it'll be a fun little project for now. I have a new timing belt on the way and will knock that out some time before the weather gets warm. In the mean time, I'm going to see how much use I can make of the E30 network I've made for myself through my time buying and selling and see if I can cobble together some used parts to make this thing better. I'll take some better pics once I get the car cleaned up a little.

Oh, and this is titled "don't meet your heroes" because a vert E30 isn't as cool as I thought it would be. A Miata is probably a better convertible.

Some dude with a love for JDM metal got busted by the Feds for trafficking weed across state lines and now all his cars are for sale.  There's some cool shit in there like a R34 GTR and a couple of MKIV Supras, although a lot isn't street legal.  Personally I'm a fan of that '98 STI Type-R but I think most of these cars will end up at prices that don't quite make sense. Still, people have paid good money for dumber ideas.

  Feeler: Buy my SV650?

Figured I'd make a post here as a complete feeler if anyone in MM is actually interested. The local Suzuki Powersports is having a sale and I could buy a brand new, 0 mile 2019 DRZ400SM for about $6k with tax, tags, blah blah. I would very much like some supermoto in my life.

Everything you might want to know about my SV. We can talk moneyz via PM if you're serious.

  Catch Can Discussion
Posted by: JPolen01 - 03-11-2019, 09:46 AM - Forum: Lounge - Replies (11)

Let me preface this by saying I do not know very much about the issue of blow by with direct injection motors. I joined an Accord forum to follow for TSBs/other issues that might pop up on my new car and the biggest discussion is always around air/oil separators and catch cans. Some people report they are catching 3 ounces of oil/gas/water mixture every few weeks, some every couple of months, some say the entire catch can is unnecessary. 

What are everyone's thoughts? Mishimoto makes a kit that is $200 so not a huge investment cost if this will help prevent buildup for years to come. On the other hand, if the intake manifold needs to be cleaned every 50k or so miles that might be two times during my ownership at most so having to empty a catch can every so often may be a waste of time.
