I like the tattered valence

it gives the car a certain "je n'ai se quoi"

[M42Technik]

glad to hear she's ok sad to hear that your painting the valence

Hah! Really, you like the cracked M-Tech II? I have the rest of the kit, so I may hold off painting it until its all ready to go. But that could be a long time from now.

[sticksdaman]

I wish i had gotten to this thread sooner

I remember my first oil pan death... Made it 30 miles back home using jb weld and duct tape... good times man good times

glad to hear she's ok sad to hear that your painting the valence

What the hell did you do to the accelerator?

It is still attached to the floor, it snapped at the point on the top of the pedal, which is fragile I suppose. If you look at the top where the pedal ends and it connects, thats the point where it broke.

And yes I am glad to see it is going to be alive and well. After all these bushings get done I'm going to have a lot more peace of mind on the road, along with more confidence since I had a bad rattle from my balljoints being shot.

I just dropped off the RTRS rear subframe bushings as well.

Glad to hear its ok man. That would be a bitch to lose :(

Thanks for all the kind words guys.

Here is what is being fixed or replaced at the moment:

Control arms, ball joints, offset bushings
Rear polyurethane subframe bushings
Guibo
Front and rear rotors and pads may be replaced
Accelerator pedal replaced
Trailing arm bushings

Mirror needs fixing, as does the sunroof. If all this gets fixed before April I'll be driving down to Charleston, SC with it. The other step is to repaint the front at the very least.

What the hell did you do to the accelerator? The only thing i have seen wrong with any e30 was the floor pans rusted out of a piece of crap car i had and the pedal was no longer attached to the floor. Glad to hear that your getting it all fixed

Wow, I missed this. Good to hear the M42 is still alive and kicking.

Okay so the good news is that the engine is fine and has no signs of damage from Saturday night's events.

Yaaaaaay!!! So happy to read this.

[SchnellerVert]

Sucks ass. This winter has been brutal on the roads.

[z50_Jumper]

Glad to hear its ok.

[scabzzzz]

Sometimes I drive my car with the oil light on in hopes of ruining my eta motor.

Glad to hear the 4 banger is ok!

Okay so the good news is that the engine is fine and has no signs of damage from Saturday night's events. The bad news...which really isn't bad...is that I'll be paying to replace it, along with a lot of other things that needed to be done.

New control arms, bushings, rear subframe bushings, guibo (stupid shop put it on backwards), etc...

That's great news, and trust me you'll be in a world of happiness after all that damn rubber gets replaced.
