But you have the motor and wheels. If we combined cars it could be a super coupe!
Just like the mighty morphing power rangers

I even have some Ronal LS' that would look fucking tits on your car (well mine too :D) Ahhhh, just give up on that fucking thing and let me get it! Hahaha.

[DrJosh]

Ha haha you'd have to pry it from my cold dreads hands.
I just ordered wheels today. ATP mystery wheels. We will see what shows up. I am pretty stoked.

[e30austin]

Hahaha. That's how I feel about my car some days.

[IronJoe]

Wow bavauto is terrible.

[DrJosh]

What happened?

[LuckyHenriksen]

Wow bavauto is terrible.

Yes they are

[IronJoe]

I placed an order 12/30/2011 for some hoses for the M42. It was between BavAuto and AutohausAZ (who I normally use). I chose to try bavauto based upon some word of mouth recommendations.

First off, their business model sucks. I place my order, they charge me, then a few days later send me an email informing me that item(s) are backordered? Bass ackwards. Autohaus not only KEEPS THEIR STOCK UPDATED ON THEIR WEBSITE, they won't charge you until something ships. Autohaus had these items in stock.

But I figured, it's ok that I'm waiting because I will be getting Genuine BMW parts, right? Wrong. I receive a package yesterday - They are the same aftermarket Uroparts hoses that I would have got from Autohaus.

Oh, and what do I find at the bottom of the package? A note saying there's still one hose on backorder, with an availability date of 1/16/2012. Well, it's the 24th and I still don't have a shipping notification guys. What the fuck.

I'm never ordering from them again. This car has been stuck in my garage for the better part of a month because I'm waiting on parts. I would have had my parts two weeks ago if I had gone with Autohaus, who by the way KEEPS THEIR STOCK UPDATED ON THEIR WEBSITE.

Ugh. Rant over.

[e30austin]

Shitty deal homie!

[DrJosh]

That blows. Call blunt tech.

[IronJoe]

Very nice, that's exactly what I'm doing.

Does it run better now?

[Brilliantrot 318is]

Very nice, that's exactly what I'm doing.

Does it run better now?

yes allot better, the throttle is allot more responsive, and it doesn't feel like it wants to choke when i pull it out of gear, that was my problem and made for a very rough drive

[LuckyHenriksen]

Nice job Geno! I am freshening up an M42 myself, so many hoses lol
