The not so n00b's car

[Jhonno]

If you painted the skirts and valance it would look soo much nicer

Bonnet looks fun..

[jeswaw]

well your car does look bad. fix that m20, it's not hard..

At the moment Ill agree, it doesnt look pretty. But a nice paint job will do the trick. And id rather have a M50

Reinventing the e30 Part Deux? But seriously, I'm fully with Del on this one as well. In the entire time you had the car you couldn't fix the hood instead of throwing some crappy wheels on it?

Priorities man...priorities.

when I hear that motor at idle I hear
- broken rocken rocker arm
- loose timing belt (or could be a v belt... check both)

Yours sounds the closest so far. When listening to it on a video it sounds like a pulley, but I assure you its coming from within the motor. The ticking dont sound bad because the exhaust is so loud. It still runs, and I drove it to where it sits, but Im not driving it anymore. I at least want to save the bottom end to use in the 318

Thanks for the info, and not the useless e-pimp like above posters

Its my daily, and the motor is getting pulled out thursday. I went and parked it after I got the videos. And I would be wrong if I said I didnt want your opinions.

aww you're makin me all warm and fuzzy inside you big lug.
+2 on the brostraps
One for me, one for the wife. She just walked by and asked this when she saw your posing picture and i quote "what's up with that douchebag"/ Not kidding. She is behind me making coffe yellling at me for including her in such a nerdy website.
Ok Ok I have to go now.

See, that is a ninja edit. Defined in your thread. TWICE. I wish i would have quoted you to make it legit.

pretty for sure its legit

Well I think you look ridiculous with your glasses, white beanie, and brostraps.

[jeswaw]

Damn Ninja editz

I know, I know:giggle:

[jeswaw]

i would at least adjust the valves. The tick will most likely go away, not fully, but it will sound better. You don't want that thing breaking if its your daily. Good luck with the m50, i hope it works out better than your valence.
i am however entitled to my opinion, and by posting your car you have to hear it. it looked better when you bought it. Now it looks like ass. Sorry man. That's how I feel. Prove me wrong. And wait til tomorrow when the real beasts are up and posting. I suggest a comfortable seat. i am the nicest you will meet here.
