Jeremy just called as he was crossing the continental divide on his way home with the new car.

http://img473.imageshack.us/img473/3410/imag0249ru1.jpg

He should be here by late tonight.

ja wohl!
so this is why he needed a ride to the aero-port...

I tried to get a pic of the car paparazzi-style on my way to work this AM, but apparently he managed to squeeze it in the garage! So we'll have to wait for him to awake from his post-1500-mile-drive-coma to update us.

I wanna see! Please...

there is much carnage.... both insectoid and otherwise.

I am home, indeed.

I got here, curtesy of a flat-bed, at about 4am.

nothing major, just aggravating.

did I mention that I'm tired.






did you know that the angel-eyes flash RED in a cadence with the hazard lights?????

i didn't know that... now I do.

le yipe!

Hopefully it will rise like a phoenix from the ashes, also known as 'The High Street Effect'. :D

can you fit an M30 in an E36?

'High Street Effect'...roffles...

Congradulations Dark Helmet. :redspot:alright

Does this E36 have the switch to go from "Suck, Suck, Suck" to "Blow, Blow, Blow" ;):stickoutt:D

Thanks again for your talking to me at BRIC - I had a great time.:buttrock:buttrock

Thanks sachin... the car will be fine. and maybe even sooner as opposed to later...

sleep is the biggest problem now.

Hopefully it's nothing more serious than a belt issue and it will be back on the road, terrorizing young children and the elderly in wheelchairs with a pavment-shredding 37.8 lb/feet of torque in no time.

AE's flash red?

How so? Arnt they CCFL's?


Bet teh po po didnt like that a bit.

Sorry for you mis-fortune. Car looks good though.

S38 FTW :devillook

So what exactly happened? :dunno

any pics of the car?? i couldnt find any. Also if you need any parts Jer let me know if you cant get them.

trying to get my business going here

Can get any OEM or performance parts for you

How 'bouts a used 15" Ronal wheel? ;)

AE's flash red?

it was just the emergency flashers... I don't think that is regulated....

the HID projectors and fogs are a touch over spec though... heehee... well, the fog light that I didn't obliterate on saturday night is...

no.

I will need a set of crap 15s for snow tires at some point.

if i had one i would send one your way. i am still looking around for you.

Sorry for you mis-fortune. Car looks good though.

S38 FTW :devillook


i wish.

we might have a set of bottlecap style laying around for your winter tires. I will look later this week when i go up to the shop.

oh that would actually work well, I'm going to be needing winter wheels.

I need 2 more posts for 3000

Here is one :D

Bump :lol

good for j00 Karl!

amateurs...

amateurs...

Atleast my halo's dont blink red

burn

oh that would actually work well, I'm going to be needing winter wheels.

i ment for Jer and i just found out that we dont have them anymore. I know a guy that might have some for you. let me check with him. We have a couple rims for a e21 though

Atleast my halo's dont blink red


indeed, indeed.

mine no longer require it either.

i replaced all three belts just to be safe, and put a new high-pressure switch on the AC, a new ambient air-temp sensor, and now I just need a new fog housing for the HID fog bulb...

armen will post pics at some point showing the carnage... both insectoid and otherwise.

also, i owe badeer MORE taco inn..... nonetheless, the car is in a much better opperating condition than it was when I bought it, and far better than it was 6 hours ago.

Congratulations in the new car!

:confused


I thought you said the AE's where blinking RED


are you gonna tell us the story of why you had to tow it?

Working in the garage - As mentioned, it needed a little attention after the 1500 mile journey:

Nice ride d00d! Now I must summon myself to Lincoln on Sunday...

Sorry for the lousy pic quality, lighting was bad and I was in a hurry. It was nice being able to fix the A/C for basically $0 by raiding the E34 parts bin and generously applying brake cleaner, though. :)

Is that MattyB's old car?

If not, who did you buy it from?

""See anything missing? Besides the fan blades?""

Supercharger...?

S

Supercharger...?

S

Cant be..... the only decent supercharger for the M44 is the DASC and it is a roots type blower which you would be able to see.

Sheridan, you are sooooo right. :) Don't goad him too much, though, I'm too busy with my own projects to do a supercharger install. :D

thanks guys... this car came from a guy in cali, he's on the forum though, not MattyB...

Sheridan, it was missing the fan belt, that disintigrated about 200 yards south of capital parkway west on US 77, monday morning at 2am.

I replaced all the belts, as the others looked like crap, for about $30, traded armen some Taco Inn for an extra High-Pressure Switch, dropped ~$40 at the dealer in Sacto for an ambient air-temp sensor. (and new hardlines, drier and a condensor from BMA, that we won't discuss the price on, but it really did need anyway) it is all good.

it will need some longer-term work... like re-working the wiring for the lights (HID low-beams, HID Fogs, and DDEs), as its not well organized, one of the coolant temp sensor connectors is badly corroded (tonights project), and I'm actually going to remove some of the more aggressive suspension pieces and go to a "closer to stock" setup.

also... it will be sporting a slightly different suspension tune for the SD trip... which makes me sad, but will be very good for tire life.

gah, I want to go drive it. but I don't have anywhere to go!

the hole.
see you in an hour.

Mojo + Dark Helmet = Red/Black 3-series sedan club

Sigh. No other green/tan Tourings with M30s and 5-speeds for me to hang out with. :D

if there were other E34 535iT/5s out there... you wouldn't be building the one you are... green or not.

Yeah, I'm just a lackey...and a bad one at that...

lol

Are you bringing this e36 up to South Dakota with joo? That would be cool. When is that again? I really need to mark it on mis calender

Ocotber 5-8

yes, the E36 will be there.

does this car have 330i brakes in the rear?

BTW: The suspension and diff on Jeremy's car have the coveted "Crazy Armen's High Street Armenian Used Car Emporium Seal Of Approval" (tm). They will have to be re-certified after changing either component.

Honestly I think it's pretty forgiving at the limit and not that harsh on the old spine. If it wasn't for being 2 inches off the ground in a town where that just isn't practical every day (terrible roads and snow), I'd leave it as-is. I really think you should keep the diff, though. That ratio isn't that bad, and if you're still getting 30+ on the highway, you're not going to save much, if anything, $$ wise by going lower. Just fix the exhaust leak so you don't get too annoyed. And it DOES have enough power to spin the tires on corner-exit if you try hard enough...as we demonstrated. :)

I would find a 318 cluster, though...that tach would drive me nuts. I bet we could even swap just the tach if needed.

unfortunately


$$$$$$$$$$$$4 snow tires ftl!

monkey boy will not be at the BHRR again...Dyno-DodgeBall 2: Revenge of the Rubber is October 7....ftl...

good lord man... pool party or death. Linus will be there!

Hamilton's car!

I thought I recongnized it!

yup.

the trip back from cali wasn't too kind to it...

yup.

the trip back from cali wasn't too kind to it...


I broke down in Mohave CA a couple years ago.

Idler pulley seized right in the middle of the desert.

Had to tow it 90 miles to Ontario to be fixed at Savage BMW.

Gawd that was a nightmare.

that IS bad... I got stuck 7 miles from home... out of 1500+, I'm pretty lucky.

After witnessing 2 BMW breakdowns on my block due to pulley/belt issues, (3 if you count Greg's fan explosion) I think I'm going to buy an extra set of belts to throw in the back for road trips. Seems like cheap insurance.

Pretty lucky?


I'd say you shoulda used your luck on that powerball ticket man.

The odds of you breaking down that close to home after that many miles is crazy... :eyecrazy



I broke down THREE times on my trip to CA/AZ and back... New Mexico on way out had to replace fuel pump on a Saturday in Alberquirque, the Mohave incident and the on the way home I had a rear blowout just west of Oklahoma City!

gah, I want to go drive it. but I don't have anywhere to go!

Wait - you need a place to go in order to drive? :confused:confused

very nice looking car, too bad about the breakdowns, but atleast no major damage.

always a joy to get a new toy

I broke it again tonight... tried to adjust the parking brake... broke the cable... another $22 donated to the dealer.

i need me one of them new e-brake cables as well...

it aint that much money, monkey boy.

i need me one of them new e-brake cables as well...

i can get you cable and shoes for @50 or so..and maybe 10 or so to ship or so as well or i can bring it out with the winter wheels

Shannon, how much for e-brake shoes for a 330i?

what yr again..

it aint that much money, monkey boy.ja, but I'd rather support an independent business owner than you-know-who...

roffle... i dig, i dig.

I have stock rear brakes and Axxis ultimates left over from when I had my 318 if you want em for cheap. Also have stock(pagid) pads. What the hell are you people doing to these cars on roadtrips? I took my 318is to Seattle and back in early Jan. and not a damn thing went wrong the entire trip!

ja, but I'd rather support an independent business owner than you-know-who...

and i appreciate it :)

i will do what ever i can to keep my prices very competitive.

roffle... i dig, i dig.

Karl, what happened to the Snaab? You can see the reflection of my 9000 in my sig. 18psi + 3" JT turbo back = even more torque steer. :D

:(

Ted,

That car he got has 330i rotors. Regular E36 brakes won't work on it.

It sounded like he wasn't too happy about it, so I offered what I had to get him back to stock...

I'm not sure how many different parts the 330i rear swap included and if it's all compatible enough to put E36 rotors/pads/calipers back on it.

Think he just dont like that he has to get low profile snow tires.

I bet it works great to stop the massive tourqe that 1.8 puts out.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, its not about racing....

When I did my DE my 318is was keeping up with M3'sand C5's, and passing 328's. Momentum is momentum regardless of the inital time to get there...

yeah... its gotta go back to 16s, in fact, its going back to 16s before I change the springs... I NEED 16s that will fit over the M3 brakes up front... just don't want to pony up.

Jer, why don't you just search for used 17's with snows? I bet you could find something cheap enough.

S
p.s. when's the first DE for you and the car?

btdt, no dice.

frist DE is when I get real tires on it and get new control arms. and re-wire the electric fan...

likely next spring. I'd love to go to somewhere other than MAM, but I don't see it happening unless Hastings is done.

Tirerack is showing 2 16" alloys that fit in their winter tire packages...

ah cool... will look there.

ummm... I'm running it as a 95 M3 and its not showing any wheels available under the snow packages... and yeah, I'm using the site correctly.
