the Prius is faster than an M42

i want to drive sports saloons. and if you cant pass a prius in a 0-70 then your car isnt a sports saloon, it's just a saloon.

M20s can't pass an average minivan 0-70, do you hate those too?

i have no problem blowing off any mini vans. but i also drive fresh built m20s and decent mods on them.

Does anyone else find the red line on the s14 to be a surprise every time you hit it? all my other cars have an indication that they are nearing it. but the m3 seems to be all power and no give out all the way.

Because no minivans try to race you

325i when brand new is in the mid 7s 0-60, maybe with some goodies you can cut it down to 7 flat... Still not faster than a minivan ;)

god damn it i am at the end of my fucking rope dealing with cooling system bullshit

new motor, water pump, radiator, tstat, hoses and fix all the leaks... fine for awhile and then temp gauge acts erratically

after searching for more leaks and trying to rebleed i just beat the dash like a red headed stepchild and temp gauge will behave

well now either my thermostat is stuck closed or there is something lodged in it blocking flow through it... coolant is full and bled, but temp just keeps creeping up quickly past the middle until i shut it off and restart it... then it slowly creeps back down

i think either my tstat is faulty or there was some rusty shit in my heater core that is now getting sucked into the tstat blocking flow, and whenever i shut the car off the flow/pressure stops and it dislodges itself temporarily

at least i know it's still a bmw

your cluster needs resoldered

it's sexy

well at least when it had the cool guy wheels on it was sexy

Danny wasn't coolguy.jpg enough for the cool guy wheels :(

I'm going to put them up for sale eventually I think.

you really are a derp.

I know tdc is the first piston being at the top, but once the head goes on, how do I find tdc? There's a mark on the crank and idk where or what it is.

I hit the limiter alot

wheel hop check your connection on cluster, mine was fucking up and the nut on the back of gauge was loose

whats wrong with the e21?

The cat is bad, won't smog. Reg is paid current. It's an 83 320i 5speed manual. Needs some work on the brakes (I have a pad and shoe kit I will include with the car) all the speakers are clapped and there's no deck really. Interior is meh. Engine eats oil pretty good but it runs strong and not hot, has never left me stranded. All new water cooling components, new tires on the 13" wheels, windshield is cracked, headlights are whacky (low beams no work hens the blacked out inner highs) control arm bushings are shot and so are the shocks.


That's about it! Lol.

Count 5.3 teeth clockwise from the toothless spot on the trigger wheel at the front of the motor... There should be a mark that reads "0|1". I aay should be because my trigger wheel didn't have it

Align that mark with the mark right to the right of the crank position sensor on the block

Boom tdc

Doubt the cluster is the problem here, but anythings possible

Compression bro. Put your finger in the spark plug hole. When the pressure builds up and goes cssshhh that's tdc.
