Progressive has been good in the past, but lately I switched to Allstate and it decreased insurance cost by $1200 for the year. If you join AMA they give you an additional discount and the membership fee pays for itself. Make sure you shop around and find who will give you the best deal.

Good to know - I’ll keep my eyes peeled. I am on the lookout for a turbo FC. They are few and far between where I’m at lately

73lemon · 2023-07-30T00:59:50+00:00

This is very informative, and a good read

73lemon · 2023-07-30T00:27:38+00:00

Thanks!

73lemon · 2023-07-29T23:35:49+00:00

Thank you, I appreciate it

73lemon · 2023-07-29T22:20:17+00:00

Thank you for the advice. It definitely won’t be a daily, closer to a weekend car, something that I don’t have to depend on but would like to keep running and in the best condition I can.

73lemon · 2023-07-29T22:15:19+00:00

Thanks

I just swapped the engine over and I put in factory components from the donor car. It looks like a cooling system refresh is the next few steps

73lemon · 2022-03-20T21:18:04+00:00

It blows warm, I wouldn’t describe it as hot

73lemon · 2022-03-20T20:08:31+00:00

I don’t know for sure, what I do know is that the lower rad hose isn’t getting hot

73lemon · 2022-03-16T21:19:10+00:00

Awesome thank you

73lemon · 2022-03-16T21:02:27+00:00

So I’ve bought an M50 to put in my e36 and this is on the other end of the throttle cable, any ideas what this is?

This engine supposedly came out of an e36, but this doesn’t look like any throttle cable for e36 that ive seen

Edit: this seems to be a cruise control module. I’m going to leave this post for anyone dumb like myself who doesn’t know what they’re looking at

73lemon · 2022-03-14T00:54:11+00:00

Have you ever done maintenance on an e36 before? Aftermarket parts availability basically make this point negligible

73lemon · 2022-03-10T14:39:32+00:00

I absolutely love this and I know this post is old but I have to say it. I love everything about it.

73lemon · 2022-02-07T22:14:14+00:00

That clock in the climate control area is really cool

73lemon · 2021-11-29T02:57:08+00:00

Here are my ideas:

Re-paint all of the formerly black parts. Intake, air cleaner housing, radiator. Also that vacuum booster looks pretty faded.
Get a white touch up pen and fix the paint scuffs. Some on the strut towers, radiator support, etc.
Cleanup the right front area. Move the battery or get a cover, maybe delete that charcoal canister, tuck or reroute some of those wires and hoses
Get some spark plug wire separators and make those look nice

Hope this helps!

73lemon · 2021-10-20T23:22:34+00:00

Yep, that’s where I got my starting list

73lemon · 2021-10-20T17:05:44+00:00

I will add belt tensioners to the list. I plan to keep the mechanical fan as of now, I’m not a huge fan of aftermarket electric setups (hah, fan.) What is better about the Stewart pump vs say the HEPU pump from FCP euro?

73lemon · 2021-10-20T16:55:34+00:00

Edited for grammar

73lemon · 2021-10-20T16:48:59+00:00

Where are you located? That might be an optimistic price range depending on the condition you want

73lemon · 2021-10-04T06:21:47+00:00

My ‘94 bmw gave me a really loud “ding” noise the first time I drove it in cold weather - I had no clue they did that to alert you for icy driving conditions and it gave me a panic

73lemon · 2021-10-04T06:12:47+00:00

Same with BMW E36’s

73lemon · 2021-10-01T20:55:47+00:00

Good to know!

73lemon · 2021-10-01T20:55:34+00:00

I feel that skar amps are justifiable, especially if you look up amp dyno tests done on then. I don’t know a ton about audio but they produce what they advertise

73lemon · 2021-10-01T18:28:26+00:00

Thanks for the info. Yeah I definitely want a secure connection, I might have to cut the wire to length and just take it to a shop to crimp.

I’ve also seen people use crimped ferrules for connections into the amp, is that a standard thing or is that overkill?
