hey guys,

stopped into msr on friday to get a few things looked at and to get my oil changed. there, i met gregg and kevin (has a black e34 535i). real nice guys.

thanks a lot for letting me hang out for the day bill. just to let you know, i should have those parts together early this week. i was hoping to drop my car off on either wednesday or thursday night. don't worry, i've been keeping the rev's below 3750rpms and driving like my grandmother. :D (coupe needs a new guibo ... fast).

again, just wanted to thank bill for such a great time. if anyone is in the area, i would highly sugguest going down for an hour or two. great guy to work with and he can teach you a lot! i learned quite a bit about my coupe.

thanks again bill!

yup, standup group of guys over there. Bill was super helpful w/my last transaction w/them. just to let u know Bill this is Chase and that output shaft worked out great and went in problem free in about an hour, u scared me when explaining it but it was a breeze.(electric impact gun worked great, ha!)

MSR rocks as always. I learn something every time I go down there.

MSR is definintely FTW.

:buttrock Now only if he had the right size taps.

I need to get there.

I will be down on Friday. Wife and kids are gone until at least next Wednesday!

Do I need to make an appointment before going in? I have this annoying ticking noise from under my valve cover and I want to get rid of it. Maybe the chain tensioner? Anyways I want to bring this in ASAP. I sent an email but no response =\

Sorry man, was just going through the mails.

I'm jammed up this week but if you drop it off I ought to be able to fit it in. On this there's just no way I can diagnose withotu seeing the car. It's anything from somethign silly to needing an engine.. it's just guesswork unless I see the car.

Wish I could be more precise but I need to see it Im afraid.

Gimme a shout in the AM.. 732-791-2331

Bill

:thanks: Guys!

Chase, glad to hear it worked out for ya. Car's running good now I hope?

yup, seems like everything is in order, thanks again for gettin that part out quick.

I'm trying to get a hold of MSR, sent an email through the link on the website yesterday morning, is it checked often or better to email directly through here? Any ideas?

Yeah, great group of guys there. I'll be there this Saturday to investigate my wheel shimmy prob.

Bill, get my car running! So then we can have a Hooter's Meet :D

bill- did you get my txt message? is that do-able after i drop my car off tonight?

*very excited. fixing front calipers/rotors, installing new hawk pads, uuc tme's, stainless steel brake lines and new guibo. :D

thanks!

-mike

new guibo

-mike

what is that?

what is that?

Same as the flex disk I believe, belongs under the car... maybe transmission area :help

As you can see I am little help!

It is a rubber disk with metal sleeves that connects the driveshaft to the tranny. Helps with vibration and lash. It's a very common replacement part on Bimmers. For some reason E30 eat them like popcorn.

ill be pickin up my car there tomarrow...i hope. I may need a new flex too...thing is going wild at first gear.

CT88, glad to see you're active on the forums. maybe i'll catch you at MSR.

Sometimes.

I gotta run down to Summit Point this weekend but should be around later in the weekend. Next weekend's a wash tho with the Holiday.

+1 for MSR.

Met Bill today with my friend Eddie. Cool as shit this guy is!

If anything at all you know your car will be taken care of at this place. Bill has a real passion for these cars, what more could you ask for!

I'm back. :D

Your hand fully healed? Glad to hear that buddy :)


Now get working on my car :D

I heard he was going to part out a crappy black E46! You were lucky it was just your thumb! Bill threw a whole exhaust system at me and I can't bend my elbow two days later! LOL:shifty All I did was tell him I didn't like him "that" way!:shifty :D

Pretty much yeah, just gotta keep it wrapped until the nail falls off and the new one grows in. No more pain and I can put more pressure on it and stuff... :D

No my vanos is actually making noises so I have to replace that. No swap for me. Its going to be a new car :evil2

what car are ya gettin'

P.S. if you decide to demod your car let me know. It would probably make the car easier to sell and you would get a bit more money back. I am interested in some parts and could help you with that ;)

I looked at the avus with euro motor and tranny but it made too much rattle and squeeks. The car is still a consideration but I think I will look around some more. As for my car, I dont think I will be parting it, it might go to my brother if he behaves.

Hows your swap going aong?

should get done in a day or two whenever I get my parts car chassis out of here

Somebody update me on my car :(

I miss her...

does msr do alignments? want to get the car aligned since putting in my h&r's and konis and the dealership...well :rolleyes

IIRC, they do not do alignments, but they can give you the number of someone who can. Give them a call :)

i miss mine too.

Nice car MP... that is all.

Once I get my 2nd pay check from my new job I will be down there since my car needs some work.

Tierod ends and Tranny cooling lines.

i miss mine too.
