Hello. My name is Harry and I just recently purchased a 91 S5 convertible, 13b naturally aspirated, North American non-California, 5 speed. The car has 115k miles on it, is in great physical condition, but needs mechanical help. Sometimes it smokes up a storm when cold (I'm surprised that the neighbors haven't called the fire department yet), the clutch is slipping a little bit, it needs a rear main seal, rear transmission seal, and a few little cosmetic interior pieces (interior is otherwise excellent). The top appears to have been replaced within the last year or 2, but is showing some slight cracks (so I won't take it down until I get it to a convertible top repair specialist). Finally, the thing that really makes me need to start posting here, is that the car starting hesitating and popping now. Anyways, I am in Burlington, North Carolina, and this is not the first 7 that I have ever had, it's just the first that I have kept rather than reselling (I'm a used car dealer by trade). Anyways, thanks for reading.

 

Welcome Harry!

That will be a sweet little car you have there once you get it all fixed up. If you have any questions feel free to search or start a new post in the new member technical questions section.

 

Welcome and I'm glad to see some hometown people on the forum.
