The e30 gods have punished me.

I'm new to r3v.

*reads thread*

I think I'm going to like it here.

As for OP, I guess dat insta high school fame and r3v fame got to him. Both shitty claims to fame - the car for the school parking lot, and this thread for the internet.

Is this just a build thread now?

Agreed.

It's almost like the OP wanted to revive his idiocy for the entire forum to see.

The thread had been dead for 11 days, and he updates it with a pretty lame picture of his E30.

Genius. Clearly shows he has taken the forums advice and began to make smarter decisions.

Yep, then after I tighten them the AC works great for like 3 weeks and then they need to be tightened again. Doesn't bother me, but yea it's wierd.

Get a quality belt. The crappy ones made with polyester stretch and only work properly with spring or hydraulic tensioners on modern cars

That's pretty weird, you sure you're tightening the bolts all the way?

Make sure the belt that runs the AC isn't lose. The AC in my e30 works, but I have to tighten that belt about every 3 weeks.

That sucks man. I recently purchased an 85 323i . guy seemed pretty honest and i didnt check as good as i should of. Took it for a short test drive and it was all good. About a week later i realized what i got myself into.



Cracked oil pan covered with rtv and flex seal that was starting to leak. A/c starting to get warmer. Found out he put r134a refridgerant in it shortly before he sold it to me.

Now when its really hot outside the car loses power from 3krpm and up and starts to sputter. Those are just a few issues. I fixed the pan but now im trying to narrow down this power loss issue. Dont know what im going to do about the a/c but these florida days are unbearable without it.



Lesson learned here is dont trust anyone. Inspect the shit out of the car and do your research. Take it for a long test drive. Remember they want your money so do what you have to do to cover yourself.

Sell this car and buy a bicycle. Buy a nice car after you graduate.

Upside to this idea: bicycles don't have control arms, steering racks, or oil pans.


And don't say moped. It'll be a lemon.

He doesn't have the time to pull the parts himself as he is always working at the car wash, making that insane 2k a month. Just a super crazy amount of cash.
