Another Alpine 318is

You've got about as much actual working space as I do.

The drivers wheel bearing has been getting loud for a while and the 225s finally put it over the edge.



The bearing came off really easy. A little heat, then a few cranks in the gear puller and off it came.
I still have to paint the backing plate and clean up a few other things. Then put it all back together.


Few pics of my garage.

Where'd you find that one at? Looks great. I should be picking up an alpine 318i in a week or so albeit not as clean as that one.

I got it up in Quakerstown PA last January off craigslist. It been great, Ive only put 5600 miles on it since last year. I dont drive that much. youll love the 318 it really is a blast to drive (the gas mileage is great too)

I've never clayed a beater, what do you drive that's not a beater?

Ive got a 98 A4 Wagon(nothing special) it for sale as of now(E30 M3 Here I Come). The 318 will be a perfect car to keep the miles off my M when I get it. I clay everthing, the insides of my wheels, jambs.

engine bay looks clean. was the intake manifold shaved?

Intake manifold is stock. I took off the valve cover and intake manifold to replace a bunch of things and painted them while they were off.

Its not really that clean. It has its share of dents, scratches and chips. Im just really picky about how clean my cars are. Twice a month it gets clayed, then zymol and 2 coats of Mequires NXT.
I've been workng on new wheels for summer .


Theyll be refinished and have 205/50/15 azenis on them.

Sweet! It does look clean - I love the 318is, personally :D

[cahomey]

looks exactly like mine did a few months ago.

sorta miss the kosei's.

Nicest beater i've ever seen

[brandondan1]

Definitely not a beater to most. That interior and engine bay look tits. All it needs is a lip and rear valance paint

[xLibelle]

if thats a beater, you talk baller

[GaryE30]

If thats your beater,... would it want to sport some Borbets instead of those Koseis?
