My new car; WHO BUILT IT!?!?

[capn]

got that backwards capn.

op, your tires don't fit. Not even close.

Bah! and here I thought I was shedding some light on the issue

[pantelones]

Cracked the head i think... so the head is at machine shop currently..

I love how everyone hates on the wheel and tire combo, but no one hates on taking a possibly CRACKED head to a machine shop? You do realize that a reputable shop will not work on a cracked head... Filling in pitting sure, but glossing over cracks is a big no no. If it's cracked you need a new head buddy... And some new tires

Kill it before it lays eggs.

Are you a machinist? Ive had cracked heads repaired by a reputable shop that didn't have any issues.

I am actually :) and a welder, and have taken classes in metallurgy. Also my neighbor down the street from my parents house is the specialty machinist for Strange Engineering and has cylinder head machining equipment in his garage. He was VERY particular about the heads he worked with, and that was one of the things that he never wanted to touch unless he had to. I don't specifically work on automotive stuff, but it doesn't take an automotive specific machinist to tell you that it's not a good idea to repair a cracked head. Too much bad stuff going on with the crystal structure and you cannot ensure FULL penetration. With a critical part like a cylinder head, it's in your best interest to source a new one if it is cost effective. The cost justification is just not there in your case; a usable new core is less than $300 and it's well worth it.

Still don't believe me? Apparently BMW heads specifically are not supposed to be repaired...

LOL numb nuts... read my other build im not a noob. I need the head tested to see if it is cracked then go from there, IE if its cracked get a new head if its not cracked redo this one

smh

[rmosca594]

LMAO im fine with diagnosing problems, just hoping someone would come forward on r3v and shed some light on anything i should know about.

AND LMFAO! all this hate, i fuckin love it! You all act like there a e30 bible and if i dont go by it my e30 is a piece. LOL more than half of you wouldnt talk all this shit to my face

But thanks to the guys that dont bash on everything thats slammed with stretched tires :D

And i find it hilarious you find my car a piece of shit because of a wheel and tire combo hahahahaha Mr. Jcarp90

[rmosca594]

Fixed it, bunch of cry babies you are..

But please explain 1 thing to me.... this car right here



is running a 16x10 with a 215/40 but you happen to drool over it because its on RS's

but because i dont spend 2k on wheels and i have a tire that has 10mm smaller footprint makes my car a piece of shit/ricer/noob or whatever meaningless things you say

but okay whatever you guys say, i mean you all are master e30 techs... right?

[ethrtyiS]

it's not that you didn't spend 2k on wheels. it's the fact that those tires you mounted should be illegal.
