Big hug

I drove mine!
I had loaned the ti to my sister while her car was in the shop. Just picked it up tonight. She confessed to me that she curbed the back rim while parallel parking. Took off about 8 inches of finish and scraped it good... Grrrrrrr..
At least the touring is running well, so I can take my time to re-finish the wheel. __________________ James 95 active w/leather interior and sport interior conversion, Vaders, full M-Tech exterior conversion.

Well... It wasn't today but yesterday I installed a new (reconditioned) AC compressor, I put in the wrong oil (Ester instead of PAG), but it is working... Not sure if I need to go have it evacuated and re-filled with the right stuff though??? Any suggestions are welcome as always...  __________________ 2LT Rodriguez CA ARNG

I can't offer any advice on the oil, never had to tackle the AC myself as the swap shop recharged the system for me. __________________ James 95 active w/leather interior and sport interior conversion, Vaders, full M-Tech exterior conversion.

I'm just worried that by using the wrong kind of oil it'll damage the system... The 6 cyl is bigger and has different mounting points, I'm sure it could be made to work, but it would have to be done at a shop! __________________ 2LT Rodriguez CA ARNG

My 10 second Google research says that you are fine with either oil... the Ester has a lighter weight viscosity than the PAG, and is preferred if you didn't replace the dryer when you replaced the compressor. link; http://www.e30tech.com/forum/showthread.php?t=75915 __________________ James 95 active w/leather interior and sport interior conversion, Vaders, full M-Tech exterior conversion.

Took out the front seats and swapped the back leather sections... My driver's side developed a split in the bolster seam, so I repaired it and swapped the sections so to even out the wear factor. __________________ James 95 active w/leather interior and sport interior conversion, Vaders, full M-Tech exterior conversion.
