Does anyone have a MIG/TIG welder locally that would be willing to run about a 3" bead on an exhaust manifold for me for like a 6 pack of beer? I only have my flux core and don't wanna yuck it up.

I have a MIG welder, I can take a look at what you need done, Should be able to help you out. What do you need it welded for?

So my transmission blew up and now I have to get a replacement installed + new clutch kit since mine seems to be the original. I got everything taken apart during the weekend and now I'm trying to get the flywheel lightened to 12lb because I read that it makes the car a lot more fun to rev, and I pretty much bought the car just to do rallycross/autocross etc with.



I called a couple machine shops, one didn't answer, the other asked me for specifications on where he could take material off and of course I had no answer to this question, I'm doing this all for the first time. Does anyone know where I can get my flywheel lightened/resurfaced/balanced? I don't really know what to tell the machinist if they have questions about machining it so I'm looking for someone who already knows what to do for our flywheels. Looking for some place in the IE but if it's farther I'll make the trip. My roommate is going on vacation soon so I'm trying to get my car back together quick, but if it comes down to it I'll just get it resurfaced without any extra lightening.

I just did this recently at Vellios Machine Shop in the South Bay.

Look closely and you’ll see where to take the weight off

Ok, really dumb question but can you guys school me on the difference between the half shaft on an e30 and a 02. Could one seemingly re-drill the differential flanges on an e30 diff to bolt to a 02 half shaft?

I'm assuming you're using an e30 diff in your 2002, if so, if you scroll down a few comments in that link someone has made it work using a combination of different BMW half shafts. I think the shafts are just shorter on the E10.

Kinda hard to tell at first but its noticeable, looks like it makes a whole lot of difference.

Neat! Ingenious.


I'm driving up to Big Bear this weekend. Any car-care tips for the snow/freezing weather? Any special precautions to take?

I once heard something about spraying something in the door locks to preserve them; what spray?

No tubular manifold. It’s not a repair/patch job.
