Don't paint the wheels, paint the car to compliment them.

Been thinking hard about it, but I may have a line on some euro bumpers in the summer time. No love for DB's??

haha always when I'm about to post :nice:

Ok so we're in about January/February I believe.
My friend posted up that his Magnaflow sounded ricey on his 318 and he wanted to trade for a stock eta one. So I traded him for my stock-ish replacement; he even installed it for me ;)
Don't know wtf this is; wasn't terrible but looked ugly...


Magnaflow!


Never got to start it up with the straight pipe :-?


Yes, those are REAL NASCAR road cars :D


Suttle but sounded sexy haha The car liked to pop a little when it got warm. Nice deep sound but not loud and not much drone


I drive ~30 miles to school each way.
Can't beat eta milage!

Down Hill Spiral

So now is where things start to get bad...

Fisrt during my daily commute my rear shock bolt stripped and backed out when I was on the freeway
Sketchy as fuk!!






Rocky helping out with the new bolt lol
btw don't ever intend to use your factory e30 jack; EVER!!
Tried to check out wtf happened when the left side of my car suddenly had no shock/resistance in the school parking lot. Car went up, stuck my finger under the tire trying to feel around and BOOOM, jack like slipped off, car fell on my fingers but only on the very edge. Thanks God for camber?
Anyway FUK THAT. Never again.


Literally the same week I saw this on the way home from school:


:hitler:
Picked up my sister on the way and noticed that driving around kept it cool; stopping mad it hot. Well in my stupidity I apparently put it through too many cycles and found this when adding coolant


I had literally just got the car on the road; maybe driven it for two weeks. Said fuk it and decided to wait and change the gasket over spring break. Added water everyday and drove it for 2 more weeks on the bad gasket.

:old house got vandalized before we sold it:
Juuust great...

[lolcantturn]

WHAAAAAAAAT THE FUCK. Please tell me the conclusion to those kids breaking down the house was:
1. Calling the cops
2. Beating the living shit out of them.

[nickflic3]

We did call the cops and at the time we had no clue who did it; went around the neighborhood asking if people heard anything and they all said no o.O

Happened between a Thursday and that Saturday night. Fukin neighbor's mom said they heard nothing and their house is so close. How do you break stair handrail, all chandeliers with no sound??

Turns out it was her son who did all this and she only confessed after sending him up north... Came up last week and apologized to my dad when I wasn't there saying their kid was so rebellious and what not. Just hearing this today from my brother actually.

When we called the cops they came over and took pictures and said they couldn't do anything about it unless something similar happened again....


On a brighter note, teaser to next update ;)

[jeswaw]

Never go to plastic bumpers! Dont worry, I only have 3 months left here, and then after that you'll have some Euro Bumpers as promised.

ps- Even though I have already seen these all, Im liking the build thread!

cool car story and all.. BUT wait you dont have home owners insurance?? what do you mean you couldnt do anything about it?

[nickflic3]

lol of course; what I meant was they couldn't do anything about finding who did it.

Insurance gave us some bs quote that's even under theirs and our quote to fix everythIng. My dad is working out a deal with one of our new neighbors who's a contractor.

[aproy]

Ok that's a much better story... Sorry for the loss and the hijack, let's see more car!

[TimKninja]

MOAR. Ive been keeping this thread in a different tab. IDK why. But I admire the 85 ETA/ college kid/ low budget builds.

Maybe because Im in the same boat
