Eating valves for breakfest.

[Widm3r]

I bent 8 exhaust valves on my mis-shift... Yay!

Head goes out tomorrow.

That really sucks, nothing like ruining a perfectly good motor.

[Teaguer]

Damn dude , sorry to hear that . :(

[Widm3r]

It actually happened a while ago, but i am finally getting around to sending out the head. The motor, will be more bad ass after rebuild, along with a bunch of new parts, since im not gonna sell it.

Yeah sweet , that is the only way to do it . :up:

I'm still looking for a 2nd S50 head and I just stumbled across a super low mileage S50 minus the head .
It can be had for a bargain so it looks like I will be building this one up too and then that still leaves me with 2 heads short . :D :(

[Widm3r]

Haha, i was quite suprised i didnt do more damage, i moneyshifted at the top of third to second, due to a bump in the road, which threw my hand off (backhanded and all) with 4.10 gearing.

[ptownTSI]

so if you didnt drive so fuh raze on the street and shifted slower it probably wouldnt have happened....but wheres the fun in that!

[Fanzotti]

So you where selling that beast but now your not and now you can afford to bend valves.....Cocaine sales?

Hahah, no, i can afford the car, it just takes a huge chunk out of the wallet, and i was seeing if anybody would offer me what i wanted, but after thinking about for the long run, i probably wont end up with another e30 m3, and im already in the process of looking for a DD...


And no, i dont sell drugs, i worked very hard for this car, but thanks for asking :curse:

I'm just kidding about the coke sales brother. It really is a beautiful car. Glad you came to your senses and decided to keep her!

on the M3???

[Garageaholic]

Will you get this car up and running by the spring??
and how can a mis-shift cause bent valves?? unless you shifted into 2nd when you meant to shift to 4th.

Yes, that's what he did.

Do you have a ZF or a Getrag 260?

Hey drug running can be serious work! I recomend the "ten crack commandments" by Notorious BIG for some advice.

Sucks about the head bro, but it sounds as if itll be even sweeter in the end.

Haha, i know, but i had to bust your balls for saying that, im glad that i am keeping her also, it would have just been a decision that i would have regreted for a long time.

Moneyshifted the crap out of it, lucky i slammed the clutch back down before it spun up to high, and cracked the block, then an immediate shutdown after my car sounded like a fucking lawn mower(Bad ass ride on tractor one though).

Yes, that's what he did.

ZF, the one out of a 95 m3, im pretty sure its zf, getrag is from 325is if im not mistaken?

Biggie rules... yeah it sucks, but its just a learning experience, and ill slap the sticker on myself for that shift, i think about it everyday.

Thanks for caring R3V,
