My day is not ruined, fyi

Today is a good day, turned in my eagle scout packet... the VFW hall changed their mind on my first project idea and I had to redo the whole thing

If you do get approved I recommend you try to get a hold of your local Elks lodge. Generally around here (Portland area) they will secure a flag which was flown over the US Capitol in your honor. I had one done for me after my Eagle Scout application was accepted. What was your project?

[nny403]

lol

Most of you guys are too young to enjoy this movie. I was 16 when it came out. Side note, the "Pizza Boy" complaining about "those damn street racers" is the director of the movie.

That's probably the best line from that whole movie. Still cracks me up after all these years.

[nny403]

That still isn't the best line of the movie. It takes a series of lines and a bit of alcohol to get it wrong. Not a typo. We'll use "Austin" as an example in this case:

Step 1: "Austin.... 5Toes has 3 Honda Civics with T6 Turbos, Spoon Engines... and NOS. And what this is about.. this is about race wars... because Austin.... *breath heavily for 10 seconds* I can't loose to you again"
Step 2: Austin or opposing party becomes irritated at this cheesy line.
Step 3. .....?
Step 4. Profit!

Also, if you ever go to the AutoCross it's hilarious to set your phone up for a text to go "Ding Ding Ding" then run screaming away from tech "OH SHIT NOS NOS NOS!!!!!"

[5Toes]

WOW. Just went through my e34's glovebox and found lots of goodies!

a 1991 BMW dealership map
service manual
my radio code book
"DiamondTel" phone manual
Owner's Manual to car
Original BMW radio instructions

and a few other bits... all in pristine shape! Some of the plastic covers though have absorbed ink from papers that were on top of them :(

Ever heard of the stomp test Stamar?

his name is wschnitz.

However the stomp test should work on an 87 I model, but not an 87 E model. How is that for fucked?

And, to the best of my knowledge there is no reader.\
however when you see the list of error codes you wouldnt want to read them anyway. Its basically just error no error.

So anyhoow wschnitz do the stomp code. listen to whatsisface.

[5Toes]

Talking to Wshnitz on facebook and he says

wschnitz - Cool. I'm on a budget lol. Trying to get my verts lights off to easier sell it for what I want.

me - lights..?

wschnitz - Coolant level sender, and emissions check light. I believe its the o2 sensor. And needs coolant level sender. And brake lining. All fairly easy.

me - oh those, yeah all easy. yada yada, follow my o2 sensor write up, make it cheaper.

wschnitz - Emissions is the blinking one correct? Blinking check. In middle?

me - blicking check in the middle means you press the button on the check panel
lmao
you fucking noob

lololol

Technically if someone gave you an e30, and you are in charge of selling it...all

Its almost like youre an e30 owner right? I mean your name is on the pink slip.

You drive it. Talk about it.

but ya that coolant level sender will trip up the overhead light.

[Brilliantrot 318is]

[IronJoe]

Is toes gonna continually cross-post his project thread updates here in chit chat? Good lord.


On another note, I had a great time driving/testing/tuning the vert today.

[OldDrunkenSailor]

I always forget how gorgeous your Saab is. Great to see that it's alive and well again. Now just let me take it out!

[AbeSonic]
