Default Ethan - Technoviolet sport from Australia

Hello

I'm Ethan and I've just picked up a '97 sport in Technoviolet.

I've had the car a few weeks now and have driven the car about 700kms and am very happy with it so far!

Problems so far: Car runs a bit cool and occasionally is a bit hesitant to start. I have ordered a new thermostat/waterpump, coolant temp sensor, and spark plugs which will hopefully resolve both the issues.

This is my first post but have stalked this forum for a few years now. It was a great resource for the e30 318is I had a few years ago. This car was a bit of a basket case that I was never really happy with despite even after a full suspension and engine rebuild.

Hopefully there are a few other aussies on this forum that I can connect with

Not jealous of the trunk mounted battery and the engine driven fan? (and better headlights)
