    -seat is broken e36s suck
    -exhaust and oil leak blow carbon monoxide into the cabin this one's new...
    -brake fluid is old $12 for a can of super blue
    -transmission was dead I heard they're cheap
    -I killed clutch slave #1 e36s suck
    -clutch slave #2 shat itself see above
    -clutch slave #3 shat itself weren't one or two of these user error?...
    -corded tires You have a brand new set sitting in front of the car, and like 3 total sets for that one red car.
    -horrid alignment $52 at Tire Source
    -needed oil badly So add oil?
    -brakes have not enough life left I heard Roland has boxes of HT-10s
    -air filter is about to fall apart KnN replacement
    -radiator support is missing screws to hold the front of the car together Hit up the junkyard, Home Depot, or McGuckin w/ specs from Realoem?...
    -shifter was hitting the driveshaft So bend it
    -aaaaaaaaand more. e36s suck

    It's definitely the car's fault it hasn't gotten on track. Need I continue? For the record, the above have been fixed, but that's the list of things that prevented the car from going on track this year. It's not a list of all that I've done to fix it.



    If I get this fellowship, then yes, I plan to.

    Remember dude, I've driven an E30 on track. I've driven my Scoob on track. Both are absurd fun.
    Lets go to the track...

      Sistine Chapel wasn't built in a day. Don't be hasty. Good things come to those who wait.

      I seem to remember saying something about how the E36 was an E36 and was always breaking......

      Christ I can't wait till next semester when I can go to the track. Fuuuuuuck I wanna go now that the car's sorted.

        sounds like David just had a bout of bad luck. i have had two E36s, and my brother has had three, and they aren't all that bad. Of course you have to want to work on them i guess.

          heck yes!! hence it is experimentally possible to track all-seasons! and I also drove through a blizzard with them. While possible, that comes highly un-recommended. My studded snow tires vastly transforms my car.
          I'm convinved Sam shouldn't go to the track. He's reckless as shit... We're talking Snow-Plow-Sam... or ABQ-Rally-Star... I dunno, not very catchy... You don't belong somewhere where your inhibitions are harnessed!

          I tracked the scoob on 700tw all seasons, and killed my brakes, then drove home. It's doable but certainly isn't something I want to ever do again.
          My motor was held together with duct tape and zip ties and technically not connected to the chassis. I did 6 more sessions and drove home. Yay e30s

            Scoob didn't break at all, just overheated stock Subaru city pads.

            Manwagon pwns E30 pwns E36? Did I just divide by zero?

              No cause a Subaru's motor mounts can't really fail if you look at em. What I was getting at was comparing the e30 to the e36... Yours spent a good deal of time sucking up money and sitting on jack stands... Mine, with broken seat installed still, was a champ

                  Well, that's Boulder for ya.

                  This sums it up quite well:

                  Dave Jobusch did that for a whole season in his car. :D

                    yeah motor mounts and coolant are over-rated.

                    Duct tape and zip ties, however, are not.

                    and to illustrate some of Ben's comments:

                            It's actually really funny...

                            And said snow tires are 14 inch snow tires sitting in my garage because I bought em for the 2002, but ended up getting a 13inch set instead.

                              See, the point is to start clean shaven. 99% of folks won't be able to grow a beard even to the thickness of mine when it's trimmed. I still win by default.
