On my way back to work after lunch today I spotted another 02. This one was on a trailer. I've never seen that one around before that I know of. It was Verona (that's the color for non 02 readers). Unfortunately I didn't see if good enough to know if it was a early or late model. More than likely it had probably been sitting in someone's garage for years had just been sold, hopefully not to the junk yard.
As for my 02. It is running really good. The stuff I listed yesterday in no way keeps it from running, it mainly stuff that will allow it to run better. I need the alternator if I ever put a radio in the car. I have realized that at cruising speed (45) the exhaust is not loud at all (in the car). So I think a radio is in the future. The sway bar bushings will help stiff the ride and keep the 02 more level in the turns and allow better control of the rear end. The door panel will help keep out the cold in the winter and make it look better.
The M3 starter would be nice, but isn't needed. It's lighter weight and helps start the car quicker. Big front brakes would really be nice and this is one that will hopefully happen sometime, but I need to redo the brake lines first.
For now though, I just need figure out why the temperature keeps going up, not to the red, but about 3/4 up the gauge. Probably an air bubble that I need to get out of it. Also need to check the spark plugs to make sure they are gapped right and tweak the timing a little more.
