Anyone want a 1992 325i? I'm serious, come take it for $1000 including the $400 starter (you'll get $100 core charge back when done). I can't bloody get the intake manifold off to get at the starter. So frustrated.

Dropped on Bilstein PSS coilovers, I do believe the rear struts need replacement. Other then that the car drives like a dream. A bunch of little electrical things don't work like finicky windows etc but it is a great car.

Edit: I take it back. Going to a shop to be fixed. I think I'll still be selling it as I've been thinking of doing so for a while, but the price will be going up for a good driveable car. Sorry to those who PM'ed me.

I've heard it can be done without removing the manifold if you have a bunch of wobble extensions and a buddy, not fun either way though.

hud 91gt 11-17-2014 12:50 PM

I think that's only possible with a manual. I've got a lonely automatic. Getting towed to a shop sigh

had to much fun and cooked the trans in the new winter beater :fuuuuu:

Finally put the new blower motor in. Drove to the carwash in heat, feel so good!

Discover a leak on driver side though at the carwash. The driver seat ended up all wet, drove home with a wet bum. Hey at least I got heat!

New rad in the Jeep might be overcooling in this weather. Interior heat isn't great and since it's heading up the Coq tonight, rigged up a rad cover with an old floormat.

^I use to have to do that in Manitoba with my old YJ. The thing wouldn't ever heat up despite a good thermostat.

fliptuner 11-17-2014 08:09 PM

Good to know.

I left the two outside slats open just in case but I probably could've covered the whole thing and it'd be fine.

My Cummins runs super cool over 80km/h, with the grill uncovered, when it's under 5*.

underscore 11-17-2014 09:03 PM

Check your thermostat, my Cherokee was running ice cold all winter unless I packed the grill with snow, turns out the thermostat had exploded so it was wide open all the time. It's nice and cozy at the proper temp all the time now.

Went to see the Honda wizard in Abby today. He adjusted my clutch and door and diagnosis my suspension problem. Awesome guy learn something Everytime I go to see him. Highly recommend the guy for any old Honda problems, lives really far but worth the time and money.

why is it in the air you may ask... well i got a new exhaust, and finally put the k tuned shifter in! i got a little carried away when changing the speedo cable... no ragrets

ps, dont worry about the scissor jack there.. thats how i got it up... thats what she said

anyways im incredibly happy with the sound of the exhaust. i wouldnt exchange it for a setup that cost 5x this just because the sound it makes!
