how bad are the tires? Would they last thousands miles or are they already bald? I would pick up.

I'd call them rollers. Not down to the belts or anything but do have some mnior dry rot

Is that a pic of a typical s14 member

really been getting into classical music and country.

don't judge.

I've got a nice classical music box set. Perfect starter kit. Has all the greats.

looking to get a full bushing kit for the e30. need front control arm bushings and everything for the rear. looking at r3vshift and debating if i should get soft or hard, any input? my car is lowered quite a bit- if that helps. im thinking soft, but dont want to regret it.

soft would be much stiffer than the stock rubber style correct? soft be quieter also in the long run?

funny thing is i just bought the Revshift rear bushing set in soft. I haven't put them in yet but they seem like nice pieces. They are a lot stiffer than stock rubber stuff i don't think they will be crazy on my daily driver

thanks. reason for the rush is that my front CAB compleately came apart and the wheel is sitting forward in the wheel well and rubbing in spots it should not.badly. thought it was gonna fall out while driving home last night

i didn't order the FCABs but judging by the bushings i received they are pretty well made for the price. But the only thing is it took 3 weeks for me to get them because they were slammed from the black friday sale they did.

Ups sucks. USPS parcel post all the way. Go to a rim shop and ask them for some boxes

i use usps for everything. literally, i don't even have to leave the house if i don't have to. cheapest prices. cheaper than my ups/fedex business accounts.

just get some cardboard and cut around to fit circles on the top and bottom, tape it down and throw them in trash bags and ship them. something like ~$20 iirc.

Thanks I'll look into into it. I've heard of that method, but for only wheels w/tires so i'll most likely just get some boxes.

(you) will literally ruin that car.

This is inevitable, I'm first in line for the power plant/drivetrain.


I'm willing to bet he's thinking of an m10 swap

My day has consisted of the following.

1. Huge Breakfast
2. Deep Tissue message at the local parlour
3. Ten Minutes of Mall
4. Giant Lunch
5. Two and a half hour nap.

Wow, the most amazing thing happend today.

Just a few minutes ago we went to the local pizza place here in Long Beach called Buonos Pizza. We used the e30 to drive there and back. My wife who drives a 2011 C300 and an E320 said "Wow these seats are really comfortable, The support and the width are perfect." After hearing that I almost shit on myself! I'm used to hearing the following:

"The car makes too much noise"
"Why does it smell like Gas/Oil/Rubber?"
"Why does it always scrape?"
"The headlights are too bright."
"Why are you racing that guy?"

I can't beleive she actually said one positive thing about the car lol.

[IRON-E]

Its a trap, she wants something....oh shit xmas is in a couple of days or maybe its a passive agressive way of saying stop spending money on this car reverse psychology style....or maybe thats just my wife that does that to me.
