You can take the owner out of the e30..

..but never the e30(r3v) out of the owner.

so I'm driving and my alternator falls out.

the mounting bush is perished:


hmmm. fuck. I don't have a replacement bushing, and certainly couldn't be bothered to go get a new one.

so I dig around in the trash and find this little piece of coolant hose:


aw sheeit.


it works lol.




;)

Damn the alternator fell out!!! lOL ahha oh shit.

[Dozyproductions]

That hack will probably last longer than the car. I love that about older cars. They were made to be hacked.

[ck_taft325is]

Strangely true!

[CHIF8008]

needs more low. hahahaha

any other shots of the car?

[Nic01101011]

The car has IE Stg 3 springs, and it would be nice if the front were an inch lower.

Here's a shot of the car at the Socal Vintage BMW meet(in the parking lot, not even in a real parking space but in the dirt next to a tree):



The car has been buffed out quite a bit since that pic, though.

Doubtful. The M10 buzzes the shit out of the alternator bushings, OEM ones die in 30k, as do urethane, that little piece of hose is gonna go pretty quick.

Hack jobs ftw. A ball pen is holding up the exhaust on my Mini. A quick fix in May this year, and it was still holding it up when i put it in storage in October

[OrganicMechanic]
