They used my van for Kendrick's album cover even! JK (just like it though what a ridiculous album cover lol)

Just three E36's, Two '89 Toronado Trofeo's, One '98 Chrysler Frown & Cunty (300k) and one '05 Scion Xb.

me neither, get it over with!

love the old school people by them.

In fact, plasti dip is quite brilliant being cost-effective and all. It allows you to try out different colors without the risk of ruining what you have already. It protects surfaces from chipping, fading, scratching and corrosion. Why would you knock such an innovative product? Is it because of the "fad" element?

I have to remain seated to view this image.

I did the timing belt on mine as well. Im sure the small-handed Japanese engineers thought there was a crap-load of space between the side of the engine and the sheetmetal but my man-hands disagreed.
I agree. there was tons of millimeters of space!

M318 = Pissed

I am pretty wicked with a plasti dip sprayer!

Those cars will NOT die! As much as you want it to! My x gf's car blew the timing belt at 200k on her 2.2L. I thought it was finally done... NO! I put a timing belt on for 30 bucks and it runs fine! God Dammit!

Yes, Plasti dip = the shit ( if used properly ). You HAVE to lay it on thick and at LEAST two coats. You also want to hit the surfaces that you are over spraying on hard too to make for easy removal. If you have a light dusting, I have used alcohol and a rag to wipe away.I have even sprayed another coat on something I was removing just to remove it easier.
BTW has anyone heard of anyone putting an m44 flywheel and clutch into any 6 cylinder?

Replaced my bumper with my 318 bumper. How I love plasti dip!

sounds like transmission mount buddy. You have to lift the whole motor up off the engine cradle or pound out the studs on it lol what a pain.

So then I grabbed the parts from my "racks on racks" of parts. Turns out my used clutch for this car that I had was VERY used. I didnt want to put that on. It was a sunday an no one could get a new clutch for it immeideatly so I was stuck. I thought of using my M5 clutch disk but that has springs on it and using it with a dual mass flywheel would make the car a slingshot. Hmmmm. So I realized I have my lightly used 318 clutch setup from when I pulled my M44 engine! I heard talk about how a 318 clutch would work with the 6 cylinders. So I grabbed the Pivot fork from my M3 Trans, the slave cylinder from my M3 trans, the pivot pin and clip off of my M44 trans, the throw out bearing from a 528 and the flywheel from my 318 along with the clutch disc and pressure plate....and whamo!
She shifts good and I have not seen any slipping! So in case you were wondering.. yes the M42 / M44 clutch disc and pressure plate does work in a pinch!

Ok, so my clutch slave cylinder was blown into the trans. I could feel the shaft from the slave in there but it wouldn't come out... So I had to pull the trans. Here's what I found...
The pivot pin and spring clip both busted and the pivot fork just laid onto the pressure plate. The pressure plate was also collapsed! When I pulled the pressure plate off then the clutch disc fell apart and disintegrated! WTF. I bought this car as a quick slave cylinder fix. I thought the guy didnt know how to properly bleed the slave. Boy was I wrong. hahah oh well.
Check this out.. I didnt even remove the exhaust! Deeecent!
Look at that clutch disc! BTW it was still driving like this!

i have seen you around Oshkosh near the O'reily roundabout area. It was a nice looking jetta. I have a mk4 and I liked it.

Here is where I will dump all of my interesting tasks on my "winter sport" '96 328i. Here's what I started with.

are there a lot of people from around here on the forum? i know my buddy chris from here is on the forum. thats his m3 behind mine. we were talking about trying to get some guys together from around here and do some drives and meets in this area.
I don't see an M3 behind yours... Skirts give it away. I prefer the non M skirts anyway.

Snowkio drift time in my new winter bimmer 328i 5speed. I always wanted to have a Bmw to actually whoop and I finally have one.
-
I now installed my M5 clutch with M3 pressure plate. They didn't send me a clutch alignment tool DAMMIT. Does anyone have a spare alignment tool?
