Ground clearance? what ground clearance?

This is the thing hindering me from driving... a fuel leak on this fitting. It's leaking b/c I had to cut it for the AN fitting.... now it's kinda coming back to bite me....

 

[Andrew]

I hope you guys don't mind it all posted up like this.
If you want, I can take them down and just link you to my Photobucket thread, but I just thought you guys would like to kill some time looking at my crap...

Anyway, G'night

damn, never realized how low the 4-1 header sits.. skid plate or not, that things gonna dent

 

[Andrew]

Well, the skid plate as you can see is almost 1/2" thick, but yeah.. I'm about as low as I would be if I swapped an H22 into the car(about 4 inches clearance)

:S I hope I can save my money and buy a daily driver soon!

 

[mac_24_seven]

Hmmn... B uy a new car, or just get different springs.

Which would be cheaper and easier?


Good job man.. Love the video. Damnit, I'm gonna have to take more pics than you when I put my head on...

 

[Andrew]

Well, that was 70 pictures, and I deleted a few of them, so yeah...

No, I need a new car man. it's like this: I work on my rex, and because it pushes over into the next week, I'm bumming rides or using my 'rent's cars. What if I didn't have access to those cars? I'd be S.O.L., and would have a hard time getting to school and work. LUCKILY my boss is a close friend of mine, and therefore have some lee-way when it comes to my schedule... but nobody likes an employee with vehicle issues..

I need something I can take a few people in, have cold A/C, and be a nice comfy ride. A.K.A 3-series BMW. haha

Like a newer E30 (like 90-91 only):

Or like an E36 325 ('91-'95):

or something like that...

 

[mac_24_seven]

Check consumer reports mang.. BMW's reliability sucks aids infested monkey balls.

Get you a GSR like you said you were

 

[BigZeke5]

BUMP FOR GSR.

I GOT AN 89 325I. YEA THIER NICE BUT PARTS ARE EXPENSIVE, AND NOT EVERYONE HAS SPARE BMW PARTS LAYIN AROUND LIKE HONDA. YOU CAN ALWAYS GO TO A BUDDYS HOUSE AND LOOK FOR PARTS IN THIER GARAGE AND CHANCES ARE YOU WILL FIND SOMETHING RELATED TO HONDA OR ACURA FOR SOME! IN MOST CASES IT WILL BE FREE. IN SOME 20 BUCKS. YOU KNOW HOW THAT WORKS.

 

[Andrew]

(Just making sure you know where it is...)

Who knows what I'll buy... I'm just staying optimistic...

sorry its that I work for Mercedes Benz, and we have a system called reynolds & reynolds. We use it to invoice or book out r.o's or tickets. Anything done in this is system has to be done in CAPS. I forget alot time to take the CAPS off and occasionally I'll get a message like yours. I'm used to it already. If it bothers you let me know. I'll try my best to keep the CAPS off.

Buy an LS teggy and call it a day.
