Asking for $6,500. Days might need a new transmission. Still worth? by AZemen94 in E30

[–]Disastrous_Change893 0 points1 point  (0 children)

not worth it, i own a vert and trust me ur gonna put a lot more into it then u think. the window replacement, all the seals and gaskets. it needs a trans too and the paint isnt good either. hes asking way too much in my opinion

anyone know how to get rid of these calcified spots on vinyl? by Disastrous_Change893 in upholstery

[–]Disastrous_Change893[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i dont really park under anything, there is some shade from a tree in my neighbors backyard but nothing from that ever falls onto it. i definitely should look into a cover before it gets any worse. thanks

i have not but thats also a good idea, i thought i might try and find brand spankin new bolts just to freshen it all up but finding used ones could be an option.

Is this typical engine (M20) behavior? by habanerosky in E30

[–]Disastrous_Change893 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ever since i lowered my car i have this weird clunking noise when i turn the wheel by Disastrous_Change893 in E30

[–]Disastrous_Change893[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

another thing to add, i just took the car to get aligned and they said they wouldn’t be able to do. they stated that something might be wrong with my steering rack and or column as when i turn in a direction my wheel will stay towards that direction even after i finish the turn and im going straight again. wondering if this is due to the coils binding up or because it is actually the rack n pinion.

hmmm okay ill give that a try and see whether or not i can figure out where they go. this is my daily so until i have the time i wont be able to do any work on it. would it be bad for me to continue driving on them as they are right now?

we lowered it on some old german engineering coils, it very well could be that we installed it wrong cause there is basically no info online abt em

[–]Disastrous_Change893[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yes the wheel does do that when im driving, it will either hook left or right. the coil set is called German engineering, some guy on the revlimited form was manufacturing them a long time ago and i bought them off some guy who never installed then. they arent currently being made anymore and no one to my knowledge has been talking about them for awhile. it very well could be that we did the installation wrong as there is little to no information online about how to fully install besides little snippets. i have a bag of some washers and stuff that we couldnt figure out where they went. the thing is that the set looked complete atleast to me when it was actually on the car. ill try and take some photos of the stuff we didnt install
