NEW CSI OWNER - SANTA MONICA

[SHIMBIMMER]

Hey there - I'm a new owner of a 72 CSi in Santa Monica. Thanks to my friend Terry up north for coaching me on all things E9. That said - I've got a lot of questions about the area, simple things that are making me scratch my head and (like a new parent) - anxiety. LOL!

Thanks for having me. Any other LA based owners out there?

some gratuitous advice.

If you don't already have an owner's manual, go through the technical info and read the copy there. It will likely answer many of the questions you have and the ones that follow. Perusing the archives here may also answer you questions. The subject headings are often misleading so it never hurts to look a little closer before giving up on your quest for info.

Good luck!

I'm pretty sure Coupe King has a new manual available. His number is 310-834-5000 and he is in the LA area. www.coupeking.com

Yep. There are a few of us in LA, but most of the local coven are down in OC.

thanks guys. I'm actually in immediate need of a local shop to give the car a tip to tail review. Fluid changes, hoses, belts, etc. I'm not a mechanic - but want someone who knows this car well to take a look.

Any suggestions of good local mechanic/shop for E9's?

Thanks!

Try Four Oaks Garage in Santa Monica.
