PNW Chit Chat thread

I've replied to PMs about the headers. Kid 325e will likely get them. If he flakes, it goes to the next person down (korn). And so on.

Hank, the car has had some needs, but gets better and better. I PM'd you the details. How's your red car project? Did you get all the rice out?

Anyone have a need for rear axles, rack, crankshaft from a 1990 325i ?

The 318 has a weird issue, the coolant hoses feel like they are under a ton of pressure, I discovered this because it stopped blowing hot air from the heater. I'm thinking possibly a bad radiator cap? I have very minimal experience with m10's idk cooling system looks weird, and I can't find much of any info on my issue.

Sounds like a blockage of some sort. Start with a cap and thermostat. Maybe a water pump.

definitely sounds like you have air pockets within the system. Did you replace anything recently? If so, try bleeding the system some more. No heat = air locked (usually).

Hank sold the red car to a girl (gasp) Jennifer Gray - and got himself a Cherokee. Boo.

It lives on through her though, she's taking the m20 apart and rebuilding.

The red car is mine now. I'm completely overhauling the car. The rice is 100% gone on it, I can promise you that.







Getting a much-needed engine rebuild, the interior is getting overhauled, euro trim everywhere, new suspension, new brakes.

I've got a full Hartge aero kit that just needs a bit of work and matching paint. I've got the euro bumper trim, euro grills, euro Smiley's, and the euro headlight washer kit. All sitting in my parts room. Haha. I've got a huge collection....

Thought about it this morning, I don't feel like redoing my exhaust AGAIN. Korn, you're up buddy, snatch those headers up. I already texted Nader.

Didn't think I would find anything I would want for my 24v on this M42.. Pleasant surprise

Congrats on the car! Good for you for getting it done. I didn't know Hank bailed on the car. Then again, I remember from my old college days how hard it was to maintain a car hobby while you are in school. Between my sophomore and junior year, I spent an entire summer savings on a carburetor upgrade for a Triumph Spitfire. More than 20 years later, my dad still reminds me of that. Looking back, I have no regrets. That was a great upgrade on a fun little car, and I have good memories of it.

I remember your last car, with all the Hartge, it seemed to be accident-prone. Hopefully, this brighter color will keep you out of trouble.

Nader, i'm not sure if you got my text or saw my post a few posts above but you can go ahead and sell the IE Shorty Headers - I don't feel like redoing my exhaust again! Sorry!!

Someone will put them to good use i'm sure.
