Whats Wrong with Your Car?

[Farbin Kaiber]

I need another one.

[Stephen]

My brake light switch has been out for a while. I should probably get on that. Also, my AC switch won't stay in. I have a new switch - I just haven't put it in.

That AC switch is so god damn annoying, i had that problem too. I finally fixed though, i just reached around and popped it out instead of disassembling the whole thing

[Jand3rson]

Oh, and my ABS is engaging at random during low-speed stops, and I can't figure out what it is that's causing it.

-O2 sensor
-oil pan gasket
-paint
-bumpers
-exterior trim
-grille
-seats
-interior lamp
-one broken head lamp courtesy of bambi

Atleast it's almost all cosmetic

[e30pwr]

wheels bearings making loud noises
brakes need done
passenger side regulator is stripped
paint is cracked nearly everywhere
hail damage that i'm too lazy to fix
exhaust leak that i need to seal up
fog lights need help
clutch likes to complain in the cold am mornings.

-can't open or lock doer from drivers side
-antenna is gone
-im using 3 rota slips and one bottle cap because my tire popped and i can't afford new tires right now (fuck school and not having a job!!!))
-my gas gauge is wacky as all get out!
- the left side of my instrument panel needs a new light bulb

[Pinepig]

I was out today and apparently busted an exhaust hanger, I hate that buzz it makes when the pipe rests on the rear sub-frame.

thinking about all that needs to be done is too depressing to type

[bignate948]

where to start.
-interior light fell out today.
-gas guage
-glove box(but whose isnt)
thats all ican thnk of for now

- Pretty much running open header right now due to an exhaust leak, car is obnoxiously loud.
- Small hole in driver's floorboard and above mentioned exhaust leak means the windows have to be open no matter the weather unless I feel like suffocating. haha
- Windshield wipers don't work. I have a replacement linkage but a nut on the linkage currently in the car is stripped so I can't get it out.
- Blower motor doesn't work.
- AFM is dying, randomly makes the car run like shit.
- Loses a little oil.
- Has a slow brake fluid leak somewhere. Have to add more every 3 weeks or so.
- All sorts of minor cosmetic issues.
- Inspection is up this month. Won't pass because of the wipers, but I'm putting it away for the winter so it's not a big deal.

Despite all of that, I've put ~15k miles on it in the past 6 months and only been left stranded when the alternator ground wire broke 150 miles from home.

I've got a massive excel spreadsheet of everything I have done since I got the car, but there's still stuff to do

-front lip (i lip and 740i brake ducts)
-small oil leak that I can't seem to find, along with a leaky oil filter housing gasket
-loud and misaligned exhaust and tips
-balky 1st and 2nd gear synchros
-custom dome light fell out and I havn't gotten around to making new mounts
-armrest is rattly
-Konis to go with the GCs so I can re-lower the car and not bottom out
-new tires
-paint the spoiler, valences, etc
-polish and wax
-lamin-x
-new swaybar links
-finish the 13 button OBC swap

luckily it seems to be a lot of small stuff. I just don't have enough time.

Recent '87 325iS project purchase-here is what is needed:

Fix broken drivers seat
Paint in terrible shape (but full respray and plastic bumper conversion is coming very soon)
Full suspension overhaul front and rear (parts on in, just waiting on me)
Replace carpet (Waiting on Funkmasta to figure out where it got shipped)
Timing belt/water pump/camshaft seal/valve cover gasket and 'doghouse' seals (Once again, I have all of it waiting for me to get off my ass)

That's really most of it-so far its the best running M20 I have ever owned/driven. It may not look pretty, but it's also the most fun to drive E30 of the ones I have had-yes, and that includes my two E30 M3's.

[E30Kohl]

Wow, mine seems to be in pretty good shape for 199,000.

Ok, so
Shift boot is ripped
Alignment
High beams work intermittently, new switch needed

Thats it though, besides needing Euro bumpers and an S50.
