I'm doing a new head gasket on my E36 soon. Does this kit seem fine? Victor Reinz is an OEM supplier, right? If I'm not going forced induction, is there any reason to spend more on something fancier? http://www.ecstuning.com/BMW-E36-M3-S52_3.2L/Engine/Gaskets_-and-_Seals/ES2637182/

My friends did a lot of "squishy balling", basically take a new roll of toilet paper, dunk in a bucket of water, and throw from moving vehicle at whatever and watch it explode. Maybe I was just a square or something but I never found a lot of satisfaction screwing with other peoples poo poo. Ask me about the time I came out of my high school girlfriends house to find a costco bulk-sized amount of mayonnaise poured in through my vented sunroof of my E28 directly into the drivers seat  jumping on the hood of someones car deserves being called out for being a gigantic rear end in a top hat.

Do any of you guys want my old Lux V4 bulbs or my ZCP wheels? I have a fresh set of R888s on the ZCP wheels but they all need light reconditioning.

Powershift posted:Remember when kids thought egging random cars on Halloween was a totally hilarious prank? Back when I was in highscool some kids kept egging every house/car on the block. My neighbor was painting his house, and became their primary target. The cops asked if they could use our yard for a sting and parked a cruiser in my backyard and another on the side of the house. Like clockwork the kids showed up after the local HS football game. Sirens and lights flip on, and I look out my window to see a kid throwing eggs at the cop car, and then at a cop who ran from my backyard and tackled the kid. Ended up being the local pastor's kid, they sold their house and moved the same month. Other interesting things that happened in that house... Like the time an expedition full of drunk and blindfolded cheerleaders flipped 6 times going past my house as part of a hazing ritual (everyone was ok) or the time a girl who was high on ecstasy crashed through my neighbor's fence and wrapped herself around a tree (not such a happy ending)

That and stealing hood ornaments off cars to wear on a chain as a necklace. Kids are always horrible little shits.

http://greenville.craigslist.org/cto/4812362639.html Hellrot e39 540iT, with 6 speed swap. Rebuilt title because of loving course it does. Any thoughts on this, or the price? Seems a little high for a branded titled vehicle? But then this is not a car you could even buy with a manual new, I dunno how often swapped ones pop up or how much they go for.

Not for 9900 (salvage title, gross, and that last picture is all kinds of bad), but maybe half that. Could be fun. And why can't you see the front seats? This is a bad listing, I'd wager.

I asked about the timing guides and VANOS, neither have been serviced since he owned it which is odd since he paid a BMW specialty shop to do other service.

My dream is to use my cheap beater540i/6 as a donor for a wagon. Hellrot is a cool color but it's too much red for a wagon. Also ditto on the price being too high for a salvage title.

The shop diagnosis for my e61 is DISA valve (not sure which one, guess Ill have to start poking it myself) for the rattling, and bad wiring harness for the lift gate. I don't mind doing the outside DISA, but the one where you take the manifold off sucks. The quote was for 1k and half a day, so im betting its the inside one. now to find a tutorial somewhere... The wiring harness is another bitch. cost of having a wagon I guess.

TL;DR some kids decided it would be a super funny idea to stretch a shitload of sheets of plastic wrap around some trees at night across a 50mph highway so that cars would hit it & think they hit a person/animal/???. I was casually minding my business walking down the street, winding down from some LSD I had taken earlier when I see a motorcycle go down the road, hit the plastic wrap, and launch the driver stupidly far. Turns out the guy on the bike was a friend of mine and he ended up having most of his skull replaced with steel plates, and massive brain damage/memory loss. We had been friends for our entire lives and he forgot who I was after the accident.

mafoose posted:Why? An extra 60 bucks for a factory headgasket on a job you only want to do once is worth it IMO. I've read failure stories of the VR gasket and while they might be user error, I wouldn't chance it. I've got VR gaskets all over my m3 but for a HG I'd want to minimize risk of doing it again.

I'd like to think that someone somewhere feels some sort of guilt about what they did to this guy, but based on previous life experiences I know that probably isn't the case. It was pretty hosed up because I was too high to even register what had happened until the firetruck/ambulance sirens came on (luckily this happened so close to the fire station that they also probably saw it happen) and I didn't find out until the next morning that the victim was my friend. I just kind of walked by the scene, sat down on a park bench in an open soccer field overlooking it, and watched the chaos. HEY VAPER fucked around with this message at 14:35 on Jan 20, 2015 |

It's a '99 and the front end of the frame got destroyed. I'm not saying it's not real, but it's probably a lot like that time where I went to see an '04 e46 black on black 325it with a five speed and decked out options only to get the dealer's inspection report that had CELs out the wazoo on it.

It's not completely awful, I swapped manifolds to add the disa one to my 325, and will be repeating it for my 328. This is a decent overview: http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=801310 and there's one on the z4 forum I can dig up later. The only real risk is breaking one of the vacuum hoses, or not having then reseat correctly.

I only bought the outer one for now, and that one looks like I don't have to take the manifold off. Hopefully thats the one making noise, the shop mentioned it was the "outer" valve.

Don't know about the newer DISA stuff, but on the M54 motor you can, in most cases, test and isolate the DISA noise by just unplugging power to the DISA unit at idle. If the rattling stops when you unplug it, then you just identified the problem.
