:facepalm



Alright, I'll give it a shot. BTW, that sensor took about 4min to R&R. Just pulled off the MAF and intake and it was easy access. Deep swivel sockets ftw!

Where abouts? You should shoot over to the shop and check out the CNC stuff.

Haha right on. I remember it being hard to get to but oh well.

Im interning at Sikorsky for the summer. Yeah dude id love to, thatd be sweet! Maybe ill have my car going decent by then :D

sup man. I live up in North Haven, but work in Stratford and my vehicles are in Shelton. Alpine-II valence? Where abouts are you?

Im down in Redding, just south of Danbury. the valence is a little crooked, and it used to be red but was repainted AW-2

Just drove the car around the block. Got some pretty interesting looks from people with no hood and open headers.

So I start off and go to shift into 2nd and guess what? I HAVE NO 2ND GEAR! Apparently this is a common problem with the Getrag 250 since they like to munch that gear. Shit shit shit. I still need to bleed the brakes and clutch more, but this really fucking blows.

Think I'll be driving the touring down to V@V now...

I saw your E34it at the bear mnt meet. Am also thinking about driving down to V@V. What day are you leaving?

:( shoulda got the zf...

Sucks to hear though man. i had a major failure like that too when i got the car running the first time. Not a good feeling having a lot of work into a project and having something broken thats out of your hands...

GL gettin her goin!!!

[BenM]

Yeah I hear that. I bought a complete crashed 325is from a guy over on bfc and didn't think it would be bad. It's too bad, because the engine runs great and the cylinder head looked really clean when I did the valve cover gasket.

I think the ZFs shift ok, but I'd rather just throw a known good Getrag 250 back in for now. I don't beat on my trannies too much anyways.

Thanks for the support dude!

The problem with me is that i have to work on friday. If i can get some one to cover for me I'll let you know. How many hours is the drive?

[BenM]

about 10 give or take.

[So Live]

I love my ZF so far. Im not easy on my car at all and shes been fine so far (knocks on wood). Well see what happens when i get some real tires, a good clutch and up the boost a little :P i think the half shafts will have more issues though..

Wow 10 hrs... i dont trust my car that much lol... Have fun dude!

[Motorsports]

I do.. But i dont think i'll be able to make it. Cant get out of work on friday.

Zee car is back together. Still filthy and the front valence still banged up, but I added the MHWs and Rear filler plate. Just need to clean up the wiring, do the reverse lights and some other minor things. I definitely need some camber plates up front too.

[bergie_318is]

fuck yeah!

she is sitting real good!!!
