[FS: Ruff Automobile Technik Adjustable Shift Lever]

I had ordered ten of these earlier this year and one of the buyers backed out, leaving me with this one. The shift lever fits most 5 speed BMW's from e30's to current models that use this shift lever design. The upper half is fully height adjustable and features the factory style notch and groove to accept OE style shift knobs. It also features M12x1.5 threads to accommodate most aftermarket shift knobs. The pivot ball is made from brass plated mild steel and is also fully height adjustable. It is able to be threaded into position and locked in place via set screw. The selector rod attachment point features a needle bearing for smoother and more precise movement. The kit also includes a hex key for the pivot ball adjustment, lubricant for the pivot ball, and a washer for the selector rod.

 

I was originally selling these for $175 plus shipping but will let this one go for $150

If anyone knows someone with an e36 or an e34 that needs snow tires, please point them my way. I need these gone

Your aunt must really love that Cabrio to save it from succumbing to Winter

No matter what we can only go up. Unfortunately he should have been let go years ago. You can only go so many years coaching well for the first half of a game and not being able to adapt the second half when the other teams coach figured you out. 

[chit chat thread]

At least 75% of that has to do with coaching, and as you can see that's now being resolved lol

Somehow never posted this shot from my first drift day at the end of August

 

And here are the Rio Bash shots

The car held up really well and I'm super happy with how it performs for now. The big thing I want to change this winter is that the springs are too soft and allow for way too much body roll. As you can see, it rolls over enough at times where the sideskirts actually touch the ground. I just need to determine what springs I need to change to and then send the coilovers in to be revalved. I really just can't wait for more seat time next year

Things I hate about that car: trunk lid, emblem, tail lights, 3rd brake light, single exhaust, and probably a ton more if I could see the rest of the car.

Just looked it up. Has a 2.0L e36 m42 swap

Rust free ti shell. Needs a door and some body work but $600-700 seems like a decent enough deal to not have the burden of rust holes everywhere

If it was a bunch cheaper I'd consider reshelling the drift car

Wow....awesome fitment, and definitely important factors to consider.  I'm pretty lucky, my shed has open trusses and the point where they meet the wall is 12'.

I decided I couldn't afford a bendpak, so I got a triumph.  Probably some rebranded chinese junk, but it had good reviews, came with the casters and drip trays, and had decent freight cost.  Hopefully getting it by the end of the week.  Then a giant shed reorganization will commence.

I will attempt a 1 person assembly like I did with my 2 post.  Not sure of how successful that will be. haha

If the one person trick doesn't work you always have my number=)

I used to religiously watch him. I also clued Snap into him a while back but don't recall if he ever gave it a look

[Feeler: Ruff Underdrive Pulley Sets]

I actually just sent an email today about ordering two for someone else. I'll see if I can get a third set. 

[Official-look-what-i-found-thread (craigslist, other-forums, etc)]

I sent the link out to a few and will see if any of them are interested=)

I know of probably 5 e21 people at a minimum who would pay a good chunk for this tail lights

[FuturisticConcept Art BMW E36 with a V8 on a bottom dollar budget]

I loved my coupe when it was full Condor in the rear but like others said, the rtabs need to deflect as the arm moves. I never noticed any binding or odd issues but that doesn't mean it wasn't happening to some extent

No dibs for me

[An E36 Investigation]

I'm saying the only m50 that would repair the value is the original numbers matching motor. At this point there is no way the car will ever be worth that price. The s52 in it still doesn't make it worth anywhere near what it would have been. That's why I'm saying it's just another clean e36 with an ///M swap and it just so happens to be a mtechnic car. 

[Cracked dashboard]

Is it a Motometer or VDO cluster?

Leave the s52.  Like everyone else said an m50 may be original but wouldnt add any value to it where the s52 adds value and driving pleasure.

But for this car it didn't add value. The value to who it matters was lost once the m50 left the building and the wheels were taken off. This is one of those cars that's worth a ton to collectors but at this point (mileage and condition) it's not something a collector would even bother with. Now it's just a clean e36 with an ///M swap and happens to have been a special package (even though that really does nothing for what this car is worth anymore)
