Come back to R3V:)

...that's big "tin foil" for you...

Big foil doesn't want you to know about the health benefits of lead sheet.

don't hold your breath, there's a very real chance crypto could crash the monetary system. it's not a tin foil hat theory either, western economists outside the US are increasingly raising the alarm over it.

I don't care about the actual point you're making, but when you have to include a defense of your statement, by blatantly saying "It's not a tin foil hat theory"... I immediately think it is a tin foil hat theory lol

one day soon, we'll be back to the barter economy. Hoard your old radiator hoses...

90%+ of my interactions with people have been horrible.

well, yes, and these days that doesn't seem to be too far off from the real world, either.
It's happened, R3V- I'm too old, and get that cloud out of my sky!

The ONE interaction EVERYONE on Facebook needs to have is to send Mr James Crivellone a message urging him to improve R3V

Maybe if we all sent him pizza?
Can you buy a new server with pizza yet???

I'm here too. I don't even have FB! (only instagram). I would love to see other e30s in Chicago/Wisconsin.

I recommend getting a knife and cutting slits in the dipstick so you can read it.

Worst dipstick ever made lol.

haha you said that on the second post of my thread, and I basically did -

This is my modded dipstick. Bought a Cravenspeed one but was worried about how flimsy it is. Probably fine but filing the stock one flat on one side and adding grooves makes it much more useful.

Still a pain in the ass though, I have to basically ream out the tube with the dipstick and wipe it ~10 times before I get a semi-clear reading.
More alarming - Even though it measured at the halfway mark, way too little oil came out when I changed it last, so once it's back on the ground I'm going to treat it as though anything below the top bulb is low.

Has anyone looked into making a backup of r3v just to guard against any future link-rot?

[MrBurgundy]

So I posted on r3v fb and my post is pending approval LOL

RIP

The ONE interaction EVERYONE on Facebook needs to have is to send Mr James Crivellone a message urging him to improve R3V... the errors are so annoying...

making sure it doesnt get lost in the Mini nonsense...

I liked my NA R50 with all of its 115bhp

[MrBurgundy]

hahaha I have an N18 Mini and it's almost as bad, but I haven't had any catastrophic engine issues, just the annoying turbo BMW things like worn wastegates/OFH gaskets/chassis stuff.
I think there are two huge factors with these: Super long oil change intervals, and a dipstick that is impossible to read.
Small/Light car + turbo + 6speed is a fun combo, so it's been ok so far.


Varg is really not selling me on the E34 touring life though...

P.S. Facebook is cancer. I just use it for the marketplace since forums and craigslist are dead, but 90%+ of my interactions with people have been horrible.

I bought a high-mileage E39 wagon a few years back as my DD while I do a refresh on my E30. It's had a quite a few issues, but nothing that has left me stranded. Nothing really unexpected with a car over 200k.

I can't stand these automatics either. The only thing that makes it tolerable is the sport and manual modes. I'd love to put a 3L MT drivetrain in it in the future.

oh, it's all downhill from there. And dear GOD, do NOT even enter the same zip code as an N14 MINI.

E34s are the beginning of the end
