The one thing I don't like about the E36. Step 1 to every project is "remove intake manifold." :a-farmboy:

I've actually not seen that.. granted mines the 4cyl.. but I stayed away from the engine shy of injectors/plugs/wires/ basic to get it up n healthy.

GF adopted a kitten during an event over the weekend.   

3month old girl with 1 eye. 

 

So of course I brought it home to house break and introduce to my 6mo old. 
She is 2.3 lbs O.o  so gotta fatten her up so she can get her rabies shot next week.   
Looks bigger in pics but she is tiny, especially compared to where mine was at 3 months. 

Sorta jealous though, spayed microchipped all vacs and a few hundred in freebies/freebie coupons for a $20 adoption fee...   (4 30lb buckets of litter - 6 bags of cat food - free check ups at petco, free grooming/bath, free testing (fiv and such even though shes already had it all done) and a plethora of other stuff like 50% off toy coupons and shit for both petco and petsmart. 
When I adopted mine I had to pay $50 for him and all his shots/microchip and everything else that comes along with him.  :lol:

hey guys been a while since I've actually posted


I'm at a crossroads with my 850 and I'm looking for advice: the long and short of it is that my current engine is on the way out, it needs piston rings and burns a good amount of oil. That being said, I've probably spent a bit too much on parts over the years on this thing and IDK if I should replace the engine or just part it out. It's manual swapped with a turbo flywheel/euro R clutch, 97R motor, DO88 big intercooler and radiator, 20T turbo and a bunch of other fun bits. What say you all: part it out, sell whole to a new buyer, or source a new engine and swap it?

With how available things are and how sweet your car is, I'd be inclined to push you to fix it. If you don't; what would you replace it with?

That said though... if you end up parting it out, lemme know about those coilovers, K? :smile:

I'm considering a mid 00's XC70 for a daily


At this point, I've spent well over 10 grand on this car. This is the 3rd engine and frankly I've run out of steam on this car, I just think I'm done. I'd love to sell it whole to someone but I think parting it out would net me the most money. That being said, you should get the coilovers :lol:

it seems the heavens have aligned to keep this car alive, I found a 01 T5 motor w/ sub 100k for a great price and will be picking it up soon

 

sorry Mikey, no coilovers for jooo

I'll give you $1 more than Mikey would've for them.
