My old Z31 had flashing lights on the ECU itself for the codes. The dash display would have been nice and save getting into the kick panel and pulling it. God knows that thing had as many digital displays as the space shuttle.

God knows that thing had as many digital displays as the space shuttle. Yeah, my S14 read out engine codes by turning a screw on the back of the ECU fully clockwise/counter-clockwise and then reading the pulses of a little LED. I eventually got some little OBD scan cable with a serial to USB converter to read codes on my laptop.

Yeah, I keep a paperclip in my 88 Fiero to short those pins together. The check engine light blinks a certain number of times for specific things, and will display multiple codes in sequence. I think it flashes a certain number of times (five?) to confirm, three times, then it starts flashing each code, again repeating those three times before moving on. If you've got a bunch of issues, I hope you have some time on your hands. My 1990 e30 had something similar but I don't remember how it worked... turn key to ACC, pump the accelerator five times or something?

I thought maybe that too. Tail lights/rear pass window say Suburban but lift gate confuses me. Was that an option or the way they would come then opposed to the swing outs? Regardless, that driveway kicks rear end.

Yep. I think barn doors were more common (they seem to be more common in survivors, at least) but that's definitely a burb.

those themed bikes/costumes are always cool but i can't imagine doing more than like 30 on one. especially cause that looks like a hard tail and springers. i can't really tell from the grainy pic either but i don't think that's a v-twin so weird engine choice too

This is not a new Monster in European HillClimb Racing by any means, being the product of over 10 years of development and racing by Michl Motorsport.

They decided to flip the motor around so the exhaust and intakes can be mirrored. The problem with this is that there are now timing belts on both sides of the motor, making it a service nightmare.
