mkoepp Posted October 12, 2013 Report Share Posted October 12, 2013 April 2010, a tornado "Slammed" my eta This pic is after we cut all the crap off of it. I bought this as a replacement. Nice car but it was too small for me. My eta still ran and drove good so I decided to repair the rear window. It does not look too bad if you ask me. In the daylight if I don't point it out many people don't even notice. Note: the plastic protection barrier is still on. I don't have a pic with it peeled off but it does look good. It cost me $30 to fix and some time. This is my winter beater.....I may part it out in spring....depends on how well it survives the salt beating. This is what I hope to store this winter if the beater keeps running. Thanks for looking RamRod E28 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I love my E39 Posted October 12, 2013 Report Share Posted October 12, 2013 Nice group of winter beaters in here makes me nervous that I still haven't got mine... Worse case scenario I'll repair the Camry that hasn't left my driveway in 6 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mkoepp Posted October 14, 2013 Report Share Posted October 14, 2013 What does the Camry need? They are good cars and I actually like them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B C Posted October 14, 2013 Report Share Posted October 14, 2013 hooray for another Camry driver. Suffer in agony with me. Quite possibly one of the most reliable cars ever made.Quite possibly the worst car for an enthusiast to drive. Somebody please hit me this winter. I yearn for something more enjoyable, because waiting for this car to break and stop running on its own is going to take far far too long. also, if that is not a v6 camry, then I will have to question the sanity of the sick soul that fitted it with urban racing attire. the 2.2 is a lazy motor that pulls hard from idle to about 932rpm then runs out of breath anywhere after.

I love my E39 Posted October 23, 2013 Report Share Posted October 23, 2013 What does the Camry need? They are good cars and I actually like them. I would love to know, as I have no idea but When shifting the car from Park to Drive or park to reverse there is a clunk/chunk when it switches not in the shifter but under the hood. but it goes into those gears so transfer case? bad trans? shift sensor? who knows. hooray for another Camry driver.

M318 Posted October 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2013 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M318 Posted October 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2013 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Brian. Posted October 29, 2013 Report Share Posted October 29, 2013 I just picked up another E28. Gunna be the winter beater for a bit, then it's getting torn apart in spring and parted out. 1986 535i 5spd. Power seats, black leather seats, new tires, limited slip. Should do decent!
