New Jersey BMW CCA

I would have bought this car on the spot if it wasn't an automatic. Mo is a fanatic and the car is really nice.

Msg sent.

It might be a little late, but I have a BMW tie rod puller and you are welcome to borrow it, located in Plainfield.

It is nice to do it that way if you have the tool, but you don't have to.
- compress one side, (leave the opposite pad in)
- drop in the good pads
- then compress the other side
- drop in the pads

Done. No?

I keep a set of really used pads and use them to compress the pistons. I don't see how you can damage the pistons that way.

Trick to it is not to force it suddenly but put moderate pressure on it and wait.

I use an old pad and a screw driver to move them gently. Is there really need for anything else?

That's what happens when the kids grow up and leave. You have to wait for the grand kids to grow up to help you.

Here's another review. It looks like worth seeing.

Entertaintment Weekly's rating don't mean a *@$%.

Yep. As long as you can prevent the bottom from sliding then one strap should be enough.

I initially made my own shirt, too, similar to Ed's, but on second thought I figured the $125 for a Cool Shirt was worth the money for avoiding the ridicule I would get from walking around with a black shirt that looked like a suicide bomber rig

Who washes a track car?

Mine cost around $75-80 in parts. 16 qt cooler from Walmart worked great. I would however recommend the largest bilge pump you can get. Nothing less then 500-600 GPH. Quick connect fittings are available from West marine or McMaster. Just make sure you come up with a secure way to tie it down. Other...

If you are driving the car to the track then I would leave it in. If it is a trailered, stripped car then you can take it out, but there isn't really a good solution to fogging problem.

E30 wheels and tires are cheaper, you can get an e30 lighter than e36, and you don't need to convert to 5-lug to get big brakes.

E36 M3 is a nice track car, just not as much fun as an e30

I can vouch for this car. I don't understand why, but some people are fanatical about their rides, and Yagmur is one of them.

Yes, he is my nephew, no I am not getting a commision
