    Old Timer here! Updating a few things...

    Hi Guys! I've been a long time member, haven't posted in quite a while aside from the random posts here and there. I was pretty active when I first bought by Imola Red ZHP in 2004 with 6 miles on it. It has 141k now and has seen quite a bit of wrenching. Now, I need new tires. Fortunately, Michelin has a $70 rebate on a set of 4 right now.

    Just stopping by to say HEY! and that these cars sure are a ton of fun!!! I still get compliments on it!

    Happy driving and be safe!

    A lot of guys ask when I bought it. They're equally surprised when I tell them how old it is. They always say it looks a lot newer. I've been pretty fortunate that all of my jobs (with very few exceptions) have had garaged parking.

    Old guys rule!!!

    Took it to a shop and they said it's a good shape. No leaks or anything else really wrong with it. I've done a lot of preventative maintenance over the years.
    Cooling system, alternator, Vanos, Valve Cover Gasket, Oil pan, oil filter housing gasket, PS system etc. Only thing they will do is flush the brake fluid. So, that made me feel pretty good that there aren't any hidden problems that I'm not seeing.

    Here’s the most recent after a wash at a local hand wash place.


    Here’s an action/wrenching shot! (Wifey lending a hand).


    Here’s an older one from 2016. Pic of aftermarket (Geba?) metal impeller water pump that self destructed but didn’t give any symptoms. Notice the missing piece?


    Oh yeah, here it is!!! Wife found it just inside the engine.

    I’ve got more, just not readily accessible on my phone.

    There is one regret, of not taking a picture when I first bought my car. I didn’t want to geek out at the dealership.
