And I'm guessing the only way to find that is a smoke test....

for a smoke test, roll up a phat blunt and blow the smoke into intake, kill 2 birds with 1 stone

[mbonanni]

is your filler neck in ok shape?

I can check, but how??

I think ima try it with hookah. Thicker smoke.

[Pantless Spency]

just take a look at it, the rubber could be old and cracked.

[Pantless Spency]

not sure if you can give it a look from under the body, you might have to remove the inner fender liner.

[mbonanni]

I removed the inner fender thing as well as the grommet around the filler neck to look at it, but it was just helllaa dirty to see anything.

[Danny]

Clean it off then. Jeez, do I have to hold your hand?

[Pantless Spency]

clean it :D



the grommet is right there with the filler neck hose/tube thingy.

[Thizzelle]

hookah would work well or a cigar, just need some thick smoke

[mbonanni]

It was late when I did it. And you haven't at all so far, so why start now.

Ill spray it off later on this week.

Cigars have a strong odor that doesn't smell too nice. Hookah would be better.

What am I looking for once it is clean? Wetness, cracks, or what?

I have a camping trip I'm trying to budget gas for; its about 120 round trip this weekend. I was contemplating taking my jap-attack daily beater to school one day to make my gas budget.


Screw that idea, I love my e30 lots

[Vivek]

I'm totally blowing a ton of smoke into my intake next time I have a chance just for shits n giggles.

[e30shmobberr]

Ouch, that sucks.



That's exactly what I was thinking. Is the car totaled?

Car was declared fixable. I don't know what they value it at. But it's 13years old with 57k on the clock

so on Sunday I almost wrecked the M3. Coming off highway doing about 80, every once and a while I like testing my ABS so I smash the brakes and usually I stop on a dime. This time my shit locks up, I have the wheel turned full right for the right hand turn, slid atleast 25-50ft car keeps pushing straight right through a stop sign into the lane i was trying to get into. Finally catches and I go off right. Big ass cloud of smoke like I did a burn out, should of seen the looks on peoples faces, lol. If my shit didn't hook up I would have T-Boned some paniced driver who decided to hit the brakes and block exactly where I was sliding instead of them just driving out of it. After that my ABS light was lit and felt like I had flat spots on my tires. like a thunk thunk thunk every rotation. I get home check out tires, no flat spots. Turn car off and back on light is out, so I mashed it up and down the block smashing on brakes and everything works fine WTF

Yeah that's a bit disconcerting. Glad you're ok--learn to threshold brake! :)

That's good. You going to be at the food truck meet on Friday? I still haven't seen that car of yours since it's been running.
