PhreshPrez is up in the polls 800%

I honestly just need the anchors/sliders got a decent set of seats but no mounts adjusters so the cars been siting without use :(

To answer, anything useable is fine, color not an issue.

The loins I'm coming for them.

A girl gave me her number last night. Tonight her boyfriend told me not to call her again.

Better luck next time.

I don't understand those situations. Leave the dude if you're not happy with him

So I'm at a crossroads rite now., my car has developed more of the known old leaks, including a bad radiator leak, so my plans of attack are:

A: Do a m/s5x swap, refresh as many seals and gaskets as possible without separating the headgasket, as long as it's in good condition and or low milage.

B: Pull my m20 out, do the headgasket and seals along with a refresh of the head and live happy for the next 15 years with a motor that I somewhat understand.

C: Leave as is and continue to do regular maintenance, save up more money and just buy a newer car.

What say you SCGC?

Option A will leave you disappointed unless it's a S50/S52. This means it's going to cost thusands to do it right. It's like option B but a lot more money. :D If you need assistance with option B let's talk buddy!

Done properly, an M52 with S52 cams is 95% of the power at about half the cost. ;)

Im 100% satisfied with my M52, but mine is a little different...

Im with you on this, but I like my 24v more

This doesn't bother me, but I must ask.
Abbi, what are your current views on foreign e30 policy? Is it in the best interest of R3vmerica to seek membership of warring countries who may favor Mercedes of Volkswagen over mother BMW? Please discuss.

in for the debate / discussion.

Mr.Phreshkid; as president, would you have extra seats for a 2002 that you could sell to a potential voter & campaign starter?

Are you trying to bribe a candidate?

I will do my utmost to withhold all liberties and justices of e30 law. Read my lips: no new e30 taxes.

I did not have sexual relations with that 2002 woman, but I did keep a few sets of her better parts. Are you looking for perfection or something usable? Is color a huge factor?

dvck, aka Monica 'Homewrecker' Lewinski will not be getting anywhere near my loins.

I'm satisfied with my M50 but I came from a 4cyl. Coming from an M20 I think I'd be looking more than the small bump in power. S50 or rebuild the M20.

This should've been you

Hey look, it's Ryan.





In other news:

Can anyone list the typical parts recommended/needed when replacing steering racks?
What I have so far the steering rack job specifically:

-E30 M3 Fresh rebuilt steering rack w/inner tie rods
-M3 outer tie rods

[dvck]

LOL its Ryan and the SCGC guys! hilarious.

you got an e30M3 rack? those are either pricey or hard to come by, congrats!

if its just a rack replacement you're good to go, just grab some copper washers to fit on the banjo bolts to the rack and a quart of ATF.

Good time to replace the oil/oil pan gasket.

Sign him up for VP.

His answers have far surpassed any of America's previous VPs and he hasn't even shot anyone in a "hunting accident".

[itskingsteelo]

Anybody on here ever do a head gasket ? And would be willing to help me do mine this weekend? Really need to get this done.

[mbonanni]

I've done it before and can tell you it is a relatively simple job. I cannot offer my help as I have no time. And now I've got to battle insurances because I just got rear ended a couple hours ago

I think I'll stick with what I know.
