      would be so much cooler if you guys parked next to each other... I saw a 4 door red one today, like Matt Larsens. Love the flares on them

          This is the chit-chat thread, so I feel I should post something.

          That's about all.



          Oh, does anyone have a 318ti or Z3 antenna base I can buy? I've called a few places, and no luck.

                  How can you tell when your synchros are going out, and or when your shifter assembly bushings are gone?

                      Or when your clutch needs replacing... because my cars shifting is not so smooth.

                        How are we suppose to guess your problem with terrible details like this?

                            I believe its something along these lines

                            Clutch fails = car wont climb hills. Makes horrible noises when engaging and disengaging
                            Bushings fail = play/slop in shifter
                            Syncros = grinds (happens on all getrags to my knowledge) Usually 2nd gear

                              It's kinda of depressing looking at it in the back of my shop. I need to pull that engine and trans and get going on the motor.
