Nonsense Thread

Really annoyed... I just ordered some parts for the Jetta and realized I should've just bought the hood strut for the E30 so I immediately got on the phone to FCP Euro... after waiting on hold for 12 minutes the guy on the phone says that its already in packing and they cant make any changes to the order...

It's the recommended price.

Dealers get everything cheaper.
Blunttech, for example, said they can deliver everything from MVP.

It's good to have more products that have been discontinued by BMW.

I think that's just the side pieces, then bumpers are like another $500 each?

You're right, maybe I should have looked at the pictures. It's $1649 all in if you buy it from them. Suddenly the other option doesnt sound too bad

I inquired about their plastic cluster covers. I was told that they have small cracks near the reset button.
I will wait for the next batch.

Can you buy direct from them?

MVP sells an MT2 body with without wing for $599, Garagistic sells it for $1417. Then again, MVP has smoked MHW lights for $350 vs $306 on Garagistic (but Garagistic don't have a DOT approved seal).

Anyone see these late model "Startec" lookalikes yet? I want them.

They are surely made by MVP.

$100aud off aliexpress in the vert. Pretty impressed honestly

I spent another 3 hours trying to extract the broken head bolt from my D2 today.
I think it's a lost cause, it's just corroded solid all the way down and I broke chunks off to the point where I can't really reach it with the MIG anymore.
Going to wait for spring, buy/swap a new engine, and try to make a drill jig to drill this out as a spare block.

Finally deleted Instagram off my phone. Been contemplating this for a while now... we'll see if/when I come back

Well shit, I'll stop spamming you then lol

looks like it.

I've been thinking of driving over to garagistic and looking at them before I buy.

They look GOOD in the pics

Yeah, could you do that? There are some reviews online, but it'd be good to know from someone who isn't running a youtube channel

Schmiedmann has those MHWs and original style tails as well. I think someone started producing those MHW reps a while back along with startec(early) reps and all the other variants that garagistic et al. carry. You can find some of them on ebay now too.

I had never come across an interpretation of startecs for a late model and I guess I always wanted to see that. I never really cared for the MHWs for some reason.
