junk yard in the morning....

[mkcman17]

last june rob and i pulled his super-eta longblock from sun valley for $130 after tax and core charges. included water pump, fan, alternator, a/c etc. last half off, a head/intake/throttle body ran me ~$150 out the door. it's just a changing game. i almost prefer 'private' yards now.

If you really need a big ticket item like head/engine/trans/diff, body panel, strut, driveshaft, etc. it would be worth a trip. Otherwise, it's probably not worth it. Someone ravaged the E30's in Wilmington. Tore apart all of the instrument clusters JUST to get the SI Boards and tossed the rest. Such a shame.

[JinormusJ]

I just can't understand why the freak people so stinkin destructive at junkies..?
I'm behind on my pop-out windows cause the last two sets I saw BOTH had their driver's side window busted and.. SHOCKER!.. A spark plug in the back seat. Also had a bunch of good Throttle-body boots that I had to pass up cause some turd thought it was a good idea to cut the idle control valve from the boot instead of simply using a flathead to undo the clamp

FREAKIN MORONS...

[e30Hungry]

then why did you say there were 'a lot' of m30 manuals?



yep, day before half off is often busier than the weekend itself.

My bad i read it wrong, i thought he said e30 and not m30. My mistake

[E30 331is]

Lol man, how's those shifter rods coming along?

Done! M3, e30, m10 and e36 swap. You will all get yours.

i've run into that guy. old weird asian dude. caught him taking apart/scattering a low-mileage cluster for busted gears. he was going through both yards and every car in vain. i offered him new gears at my cost if he stopped, but he turned me down.

JY intake boots are almost always poop. i'd rather buy them new. and you can get pop-out windows on any pre-90, no?

ah, alright! gotcha.

[E30 331is]

I saw some dude bust open ellipsoids just for the lens. Saw a 90k odo with gears missing. Comfort seats shredded for no reason.
For replaceable parts other than heavy duty parts, id rather buy from Blunt and BMA or other of the sponsors.
My dime is not going to those ruthless waffleswaffleswaffleswaffless anymore!

Not if most of the Junkers in the yard are sedans and Verts. And I've only ever seen facelift coupes. Only ever seen 2 pre-90 so far, and they both had spark plug'd windows. Honestlythough, almost anything is better than my boot, mines on it's last legs..

Didn't they invent some kind of contraption in the 1800's though..? It's used to carry stuff next to your leg, an it's on the inside of your pants..? What were the called..? Pockets..? Next time I need mickeymouse parts along with a big ticket item part, I'll just swoope em... Junkyards are ridiculous..

Fuck the junkyards and their bullshit prices.

Obviously they are out to make a profit, but they want stupid money for 20-30 year old parts, that you have to pull yourself off a car they paid 200 bucks for.
But I guess when it's a part you really need they know they have you right where they want you, and thus the raping begins.

[Ism20craze30]

Anyone going by the junk tomorrow and can possibly snag me up a good looking cap and I sparkplugs?? My cap is shortin itself out

agreed, junkard parts are way too high. When i took my ellipsoids to them before the 50% off sale, they wanted 83 bucks for it, so i just stashed it in a daewoo and got em for 41.

[yert315]

Still too much for junk yards.

I miss Texas and their $130 complete engine prices. No half off days. And $1 entry fees.


When your enemy is making a mistake, do not interrupt him.

[Ayman]

your sig keeps repeating itself.
i need to go to texas.

really? all i see are etas all day, and i go a lot. and 'facelift' isn't exactly accurate, 88-89 were still pop-outs. actually, only 90-91 coupes didn't have them.

gardena yard wanted $150 for an early bronzit door on the basis that 'it's a BMW, you know it's going to be expensive, bro.'
