LBV you need to properly grease your caliper slide bolts before you reinstall them ya twerp, that's why it broke ya noob.

It was the bolt that connects the caliper bracket to the knuckle, not a slide bolt. i replaced it and it doesn't seem like any threads are stripped so hopefully that's that.

Just suck it up. Or play the "I only sped to get your attention" game.

I do that every day, never works

drive to CHP office, LBV

Is this different from a police station? thats what i did to begin with and they said it's be $25 on top of the $25 fee and I had like a month to get it signed off at that point so I didn't do it. But now I have 3 days left and I still don't wanna pay a extra $25.

idk but i got one for front license plate and tint, i took tint off and mounted plate, went to CHP office the guy signed ticket and all I had to do was pay $25 for each one i think so $50 bucks

You can drive to a police station, they'll do it there too.
When I was LBV's age no one told me that any station could get 'er done,
so I drove all the way from my home in Alameda to San Francisco SoMA police station and had a police officer come out sign it.
(It was for a ticket I got from the SF Metro transit dept).

I just ziptied the plate to my tow hook and she was cool with that... lol


Also: it was free..... except for the bay bridge toll i had to pay.

that guy?

Winner Winner - Chicken Dinner!

He has worked with Tesla and other ventures that include alternate power source vehicles! A bit of a celebrity author in our midst! :)

CHP station is where I go to get fixable violation tickets signed off. 50% of the time they don't even bother to look and see that I fixed it...

Yup! Go to CHP office! The closest for sign offs is here http://www.chp.ca.gov/depts_divs_off...ose/index.html

Its off of 880 and Zanker (the canker) Road . Be prepared to show Drivers License! They want a drivers license for anything and everything!

Never drive your vehicle with a suspended drivers license and park down the street and walk up to get any violations or other shit taken care of and think that you can just tell them that a buddy dropped you off and you did not drive there with the Suspended License.

They have a guy thats outside and pretends to be washing a CHP cruiser or something like that. Then when you leave he watches you closely and the moment you get into a vehicle and begin to drive a chase will ensue. Cough, cough , ehem , er , at least thats what I have heard. :) LOL!

I used to be a bit of a scofflaw so I learned the hard way!

Also, you could have texted me and I could have brought some tools so you could do things properly! So between Rob, Me , and Eric we have the official NorCal BMW e30 roadside assistance crew in full effect! LOL!

I should make a logo and have shirts printed ! OK now I am just getting a little giddy...

Jeeezzze!!! Just detail my truck and I will float you the 25 bucks! Its 25 dollars man! Thats 2 cigars for me.

I got it signed off but I'm down to wash/wax/detail (depending on what you want done) your truck since I just found out that I'm not working this week. I just drove around los gatos following some cops until one pulled into peets coffee. One of them I was about to stop next to him at a red light so I could get his attention but he fucking gunned it through lol.

I've gone to two police stations to try to do this. They have these little intercom things on the outside where you press a button and talk to someone. The first one told me to go to another. The second one told me it'd be $25 after buzzing me in and looking at the ticket. Is a CHP office different from a local Los Gatos/Monte Sereno police station?


Bruce, I was reading your story and by the second sentence I was just like "Shit...this is way to specific to be hypothetical"

[e30vert]

Ahhh, ya got me there! :)

First hand experience! If you mean are they going to charge you at the CHP like they would at the local PD. That I do not know. Give em a call. I think their call center is open like 24/7 cause its got to be.

[cgk_iii]

Looking for grey door cards for an e30 coupe let me know if anyone's got a set!

[golde30]

since when did they start charging to sign off a fix-it-ticket??

[craiggroves91]

since when did they start charging to sign off a fix-it-ticket??

They don't and most likely can't

They do charge a processing fee after you get it signed off though
