I can't complain. My main problem right now is my lack of a good job. Hopefully I will be able to pick up a job somewhere close to home soon so that I can start dumping money in to my car. How's it going for you? Other than the troublesome S50 that is.

I don't think maintenance has anything to do with it.. Shoddy build quality? Maybe, but let's try letting Pants explain the situation before pumping him full of lead? Heheh :nice:

Well.. I wouldn't be surprised if they worked off the bat, but I wouldn't trust the longevity. If your strapped for cash, junk yard is a quick fix, but if it's not on your eventual "replace-with-new" list, be guaranteed you'll be running into problems eventually. I do junk yard grabs all the time though, but the thing I'm replacing usually gets put on my list.

At least look for cars that looked they they were haulin to the wall before they got crashed. Cars that look cherry means that their actual parts blew over, so those are the ones that have the bad parts. Cars that looked destroyed have the good parts

Yeah is rather spend that $50 towards something else atm. You make a lot of sense though.

its good, and i lack a good job as well. the s50 isnt that bad, just the oil pump went out. then it got replaced, and drove it to school for the first time in almost 2 years. now im just changing the head gasket ha

so jw and im sure its what i think it is but a whining rear diff is low on fluid right? if not then this welded diff was welded bad. either way im gonna check fill it and if it still whines otfw. anyone else going to sonoma drift on the 11th

[Cabriolet]

^ what gear ratio is it?
the 4.10s are supper loud. esp if you have the back seat out. 3.73s are quieter and 2.93s are almost silent.

make sure you have a friction additive when you are changing the oil. It'll cut down the noise

yeah! got my new drilled rotor and pads on all 4's this weekend. Pretty easy except for rear rotor were stuck to e-brake pads. Bently says just use a screw driver to turn clip but yet they don't show where it is or what it looks like so I spent an hour trying to look thru a lug hole for somewhere to put a fucking screwdriver. Weird cuz I didn't have to do this on my M3, but figured it out.
