Washed the M3, went to the DMV, then rewarded myself with a trip for a cheeseburg afterwards and inadvertently learned where to do some burnouts.

I welded up the shift lever dongus and now it's WAAAY better.
I dunno if it's a speedo cable, how would that make the needle spin around and around??
The odo works.

That's something between the spinning magnet and the drum that the needle attaches to.

I've had bouncy needles before, but here I suspect three is a broken spring.

Oh, yeah - there might be some sort of spring for return-to-zero. A clock-spring style, I guess?

That's my guess, a broken spring. I just stuck an old garmin GPS to the dash and problem solved. What i really want is a working gas gauge...
Changed all the fluids today, build a better exhaust yesterday. Tidied up a bunch of things, just need to figure out what front brakes, bearings, u-joints, balljoints, etc. to order so I can rebuild the front end.
Finally took a better picture of the silly thing today, too.

That is a silly huge truck. I need to know what the wiring is that's running through the... door grommet(s).

That's a convenient bed height.

For the exhaust, I've seen side pipes that have a normal muffler under the cab, make a u-turn and go back to the front of the pipes. Purely for the appearance, at that point, of course, since you could just dump them or do a side-exit.

The side pipes were so incredibly too loud that I installed a completely separate exhaust system. I left them there because they look cool, but I can absolutely not be arsed to do a u-turn and come back

It’s strange having them side by side because dimensionally they are almost completely identical.

Big differences are:

-S2000 weighs a bit less and has much more precise steering/handling
-BMW has a lot more off-the-line grunt despite the 60+hp deficit

Still no real-life accusations of fascism (including from actual Ukrainians who have been polled), only good vibes.

Yes, I've expressed my concern about that fender panel gap, I believe it's temporary since the fender still needs paint and it just isn't fully lined up yet. I hope. No, I have no clue why there's a handgun on Giselle's roof. :tif:
