Need e30 mechanic

[Predzy743]

Mike my man. Thats a great suggestion even tho I dont even have one. But there amazing books.

Rachel. Tomorrow after 3 ill fix your car. Ill take the fuel pressure regulator off my rebuilt motor and replace the fuel lines for you. Give me some time to test some wires to see why the dash lights arent working. You need a new turn signal stalk with a good resistor. Ill mount your m3 wing afterwards if I have time. Sound good?

Depending if I work Saturday or not maybe I can roll out your way and help a little?
Do you hav a new FPR? Make a list of what you need done and I will see what I can do. Dont take my word on it though.
Im lucky to get time to work on my own shit. haha.

I'm going to give it my best shot referring to the DIY link. I gotta pick up a new fpr still anyway. If I absolutely fail at it then ill contact you, I really appreciate your help.

As for what was said above, that's my goal in the long run. I want to be as knowledgeable and able as everyone else here. But cut me some slack, I'm still a baby at all of this. I appreciate the "tough love" though.

Look a few posts up, there was a time when I knew nothing about cars, we are always constantly learning, go buy a cheap basic socket set, some screw drivers etc, and get to wrenching you LEARN BY DOING IT.

There was a girl kristen on e30tech that basically did her own m50, and she had not wrenched much before.

get on it

Does anyone remember e30fools*wife? That girl was or is a wrencher and she's beast at it, she use buy and sell junkyard parts, she was awesome.

Id do it, but Im already slammed with work as it is.
What exactly keeps happening? blowing the line off the fuel rail?
Is it always the same line thats doing it?

There's a few things that need to be done. I'm way past my inspection date, but the things I need done to pass would be a new fuel pressure regulator so the thing starts. I also need to get the electrical problems fixed, as none of the dash lights or shifter lights work, including the blinkers.

I'm not extremely knowledgeable about cars, which is why I'm here to learn. Worst case scenario I sell the car and get something that runs. I can't rely on waiting around for 1 running car that is on it's way out and is in desperate need of a new motor besides dealing with all that's wrong with mine. I have no problem paying someone to fix what's wrong with it, as long as they teach me everything they are doing along the way.


EDIT: Thank you Matt. I just need to ask for the tools from fam and can probably work with this.

follow this, and be happy its an easy job

its will take tops 1 hour to do it yourself, why dont you?

This is my first time working on a car. I have no tools or knowledge to do any of this. I wanted to learn everything along the way so it would be something I can refer back to and store that knowledge away for later use. I want hands on experience and teachings from someone who knows what they are doing.

I told you I would. I fixed it everyother time you needed it fixed. Your fuel regulator is bursting your lines. But you said you were gunna have some other dude fix it

Lol dude me and Pete have been trying to get you to fix it since it broke. I figured you just wanted to wipe your hands clean of it. Even today he told me he offered you cash to come get it running. I understand you're busy and shit so I figured I would stop burdening you with it. You gotta understand that this is my only means of transportation, and I gotta find a job and start college soon.

I hate to be at this point, but I'm really so stressed out about the whole thing that I considered just listing the parts I bought and selling the car, or selling the parts and car as a packaged deal. I love the car to death but I can't just watch it parked pretty and just admire it. I gotta drive it and use it man.

That would be a good fix if you really like the smell of gasoline.

Go buy a rubber gas line, 2 new hose clamps and fix it, I would do it for free for tit pics, If I was local
