[e30construction]

As of moments ago

Brake line burst, ironically SS lines where going in this weekend.

Justin I almost forgot you owned that car!

Me too! It's just been sitting around, I put like 500 miles on it last year. I started driving it regularly again, and everything is breaking now. The radiator blew, the heater core blew, the expansion tank broke, the SI board fried itself and the rest of the cluster, the OBC is draining the battery (which took me weeks to figure out), and now the shift linkage broke. All in the past month. Sucks because at one time this was a car I drove 200+ miles, kicked ass in Time Trials all weekend, and drove home, without a single glitch.

Age is harder on cars then mileage...

Now my other e30 gets a chance to join this thread!



It was my fault. I bent the selector rod years ago to clear the big driveshaft counterweight thing, (which I no longer have installed), and it finally failed right where I bent it. I welded it back together, good to go for now. But I'll pick up a new one anyway.

Boost spike to 17psi on stock gasket and bolts. Too fun to stop.

Catastrophic head gasket failure.

One of the many trips right before I got it tuned and was able to really drive it anywhere.

Think this one was off to go get wheels+tires.

I'm surprised to see so many e30's on a flatbed. Those things fuck your valance/lip up unless you have a 4x4.

If your tow truck driver has half a brain, they will use something like this.


bad connection on the fuse box main power wire, less than 2 weeks ago. I was not pleased..

my previous 325IS was on tow truck, couldnt take pic, I was on cops back seat, handcuffed for driving bmw

[hotrodlincoln]

Fucked rear air bag. Driver was great. Not a hair touched the ground while we were getting it or off the truck.

Ive always somehow got my cars home.
Only one time the TPS took a dump on my 535is,so i parted it out,in favor of a euro i knew for sale. A few months later that euro caught fire.

Ive towed cars to the shop when ive been to lazy to fix. Ive never payied for a Diag though! ;)

PS: JGood's car makes a tow truck look GOOD.

I like how you own an ice cream shop named Archie's and the trucking company is named Archie's a little ironic I see

Think about it...
