Just washed and waxed my car. So clean and smooth now... 8)

I call bullsh*t on those doing their dash install in 35minutes. Worst experience...ever!

[OldDrunkenSailor]

an entire dash? that sounds completely insane. I can get the gauge cluster and center console out pretty quickly, but getting the entire dash out has to be insane.

Yeah by yourself it might as well be called the Iron Man challenge. I spent 40 minutes trying to get it in, my roommate comes to help & we have it in, in like 3 minutes :hitler:

Abe, looks to be a oil pan gasket & not rear main, so Picnic is still a go.

What do you mean, driveshaft oil pump piece?

[HarukoE30]

The piece that spins or rotates the oil pump. Little small rod that has two plastic pieces on the ends.

How the fuck do you break that?

He broke one of the plastic pieces when he was dropping the oil pan. My oil leak was the gasket & not the rear main, so hopefully BMW has them on hand Monday. Haruko's guts are basically exposed :(

That's shitty. I'm sure the dealer or a local vulture will have something for you. At least you don't have to rip it all apart! It's a low miles motor, IIRC, so it should be ok.

Huge sale on Harbor Freight: http://www.harborfreight.com/parking...html?limit=all

Thanks for this. Is this deal going on online only or in stores too? Couldn't find anything on that..

So in the last few days a ton has come out of the red iX parts car. Going to Golden Gardens to get motivated, come home afterwards to tear down more. Anyone tryna kick it in the Seattle area is welcome to come lend a hand and get their hands dirty... well not really, I've got nitrile gloves for you. : ) The plan is to scrap it by the end of the month.

Been loving all the help the last couple of times from Clause30, ChuckHung (You should change your user name to that.), Gergprez, and whoever else! Thanks!

My best friends keel telling me I should goto a parking lot and just blow up my bottom end. lol but I'm afraid ill ruin my head, which is bad cause I plan to sell it
