ClassE Posted February 18, 2016 Report Share Posted February 18, 2016 Applied for a position in sales at our company acouple weeks ago and was immediately told I wasnt eligible because I didn't meet the BA degree requirement. Kept after the hiring manager - and discussed my background. He agreed to an "exploratory interview" yesterday afternoon with a group from Sales. By 10am this morning they had a new position created and posted with HR (less the BA requirement) and I had an email from HR stated they needed me to apply right away. By noon my manager had an email from HR saying Sales will be making me an offer shortly. Not a bad hump day.

I've heard that for the right candidate, corporate will often drop the degree requirements. Happened to both my aunt and my mom, neither with a college degree.

I've driven a E46 M3 with solid trans mounts and that would be absurd for daily duties but everybody claims 80A is oem equivalent basically. If 95A isn't that much more harsh and they cost the same that's why I ask. Congrats Colin on the new gig! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patsbimmer1 Posted February 18, 2016 Report Share Posted February 18, 2016 The only question will be how is this sold in the U.S.? I can't imagine Renault will open dealers for one car. They already partner with Nissan so is this going to be rebadged? 3 hours ago, Snap said: Alpine Vision, should be available later this year as an alternative to the Alfa 4C and Cayman, mid engined turbo 4.

I can't imagine that Alfa Romeo will even do well enough to keep their dealers open for more than 2 years. I don't see why any dealer group pay millions to open a new store that will sell 2 models, one of which being a relatively expensive limited production sports car.

ClassE Posted February 18, 2016 Report Share Posted February 18, 2016 I hate FB groups. "Should I twin-turbo my E30?"..... You can't/won't because you're a broke ass kid and likely have a clapped out POS. "I'm gonna make purists shit their pants with my 5.0 swapped e30!1!1!".... No one - especially "purists" gave two shits about your 4 door piece of shit to start with.... With or without the 5.0 swap. Damnit I'm bitter today...

HipMF Posted February 19, 2016 Report Share Posted February 19, 2016 My e34 sputtered a little, but refused to start this morning. Came home from work, tried again, and it started right up..... neat. :| Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earl Posted February 19, 2016 Report Share Posted February 19, 2016 How many times did you try to start it this morning? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HipMF Posted February 19, 2016 Report Share Posted February 19, 2016 couplefew. EFI cars seem to get confused if they stumble and don't start, so maybe that's the issue. I had the engine lose power and almost die once while I was leaving for work, but then it came back suddenly. I was thinking it was an icy fuel line (it was real cold...), but now I'm leaning towards fuel pump...? We shall see... At least I have a back-up vehicle for the time being. Time being...

jc43089 Posted February 19, 2016 Report Share Posted February 19, 2016 My e36 dislikes being started and run for a very short time, like less than a minute. The next startup after that is rough. Not sure what causes that but it's a fresh tight engine with less than 50k on it. Did you run yours a very short time the previous run cycle?

straight6pwr Posted February 19, 2016 Report Share Posted February 19, 2016 same thing for m60 e34s. they are known to flood if you run it for a short time (seconds) than shut it off because of the massive fuel dump on startup. ask me how i know. andyhundley 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earl Posted February 19, 2016 Report Share Posted February 19, 2016 It did that to me a few times but Snap had told me that leaky injectors could be the culprit. My coupe doesnt the same rough start thing as mentioned above too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B C Posted February 19, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2016 On a cold start you will have the following fuel added on top of what is required to idle the engine: Priming pulse Cold start enrichment After start enrichment WOT during cranking will stop firing the injectors to allow a flooded engine to clear. One set of injectors I had would leak to the point where I would get a bit of a hard-start after it sat overnight. It was a very slight and subtle leak but it was even more fuel added to the list above Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassboy3313 Posted February 19, 2016 Report Share Posted February 19, 2016 I had an injector leak that caused the engine to "hydrolock". Pulled the spark plug, cranked it over for a split second, shot fuel across the garage. Fun stuff! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going be driving the PlayStation tour truck from April till end of October across the country to music festivals, air shows, comicon, etc. Should be a fun summer but bummed I'm gonna miss the whole car show season. https://www.playstation.com/en-us/campaigns/road-to-greatness/ That's the schedule with last years dates still thought, hopefully some of you will stop by at summerfest! patsbimmer1 and B C 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
