Thanks. I have the parts for a swap, thermostat, waterpump, timing belt kit, radiator, and all new hoses and belts. Will put them in this week and see what happens.

Seemed like normal rpm range and no hills. I have driven all over Houston this week, even tow dollied an e30 and temp stays normal.

Just tried it with engine off and a/c on. Condenser fan is running without (apparent) issue. In idle with air on full, temp stays fine.

I'm planning on doing a new radiator, water pump, thermostat, and timing belt anyway, but it was just strange. Hopefully that will solve it. If not, I'll have to look at the a/c system.

I picked up a low mileage (110k) 2.5 yesterday about 5 hours from home. Vehicle was in good condition and I did a look over before driving it home. About 35 miles into the return I encountered an odd problem. I was using cruise control at about 75 mph and had the a/c on high when I glanced...

Dang, that's a great deal.

Great looking Gen 1. It's straightforward and very easy to do. Now if I can just find one for my gen 2.5.

That's nice.

Selling the FJ80 will be a blessing. Monteros are superior for about 90% of what people use them for. Jump seats were not available in the Gen 1, though I've seen aftermarket units in some from the Phillipines. Not all Gen 2 had jump seats.

nice e30 and e28! we got a few too, e30 318i, e23 745i, e24 M635CSi, e28 M535i, e34T M530iT, e36 318is, and e46 325iT.

I'll second that. I know someone who put an M30 (3.4l i6) in an RRC.

Yes, thank you very much. Would OME shocks be a good match for them, or is there a better setup?

I had a manual in my Gen 1, but for this swap, I'll probably be using a non-mitsu trans. I just need the support pieces.

Seems like the case, but what about the 2 Swiss Rovers which were stock and not tied to the NC shenanigans?

Mercedes Benz NA was the force behind these laws. They were sick of nicer euro mercs being gray marketed during the 1980s.

This.

PM'd you.

In small numbers. I wonder if there are 2.5 manuals (in the North America market).

The problem is that many legitimate 110s got grabbed because they are associated with a suspect importer. There's at least a case to be made to import them yourself and not buy one which has already been imported.
