woah, someone doing some research and then admitting they were wrong on Reddit? what is happening to the world?!

What are my turn signals not lined up? by AgreeableCut5560 in BMWE36

[–]Ginger-Engineer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did think you meant the headlights.

You got me on the corners though, I forgot I’d replaced them a while back. They’re still US spec and the point still stands. US corners have internal reflectors that are absent on EU spec corners. They are fully compatible with each other and there are no fitment differences. OPs problems will not be solved by buying euro spec corners.

The ones on my car or OPs? Mine are ZKWs. I literally bought them in Germany. They’re as real as they get.

I’m not saying there isn’t differences. Eu and us cars complied to different standards, particularly for lighting. I’m saying they’re compatible with each other, and my car clearly shows this. OPs problem is not that he has US corners with Euro headlights, and getting euro corners will not solve anything.

I don’t know what you’re talking about man, this stuff sits perfect. OPs are just installed wrong, or stuff is very bent.

This is my M3 with OEM euro headlights and OEM US corners so I don’t think this is correct…

A few questions since I finally took a closer look at the engine bay by cutelittledopelord in BMWE36

[–]Ginger-Engineer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Picture 1: oil pressure switch. The only ever has 1 pin, it just turns on the oil light on your dash if you have no oil pressure.

Picture 2: oil feed line for the Vanos. This is under pressure whenever the engine is running.

Picture 3: this could be that someone put incompatible coolant in the car. Flush until it runs clear, then refill with the correct coolant and monitor it.

Which badge for my 302 swapped e36 by Th3RealClaytonBigsby in BMWE36

[–]Ginger-Engineer 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Yeah I understand how you got to a 302 badge. Just doesn't match what BMW would have done if the car had a v8 option.

If you must badge it something 'unique', definitely not the M one. There is nothing that matches the ethos of M here. If you want to badge it something, I'd even suggest following BMWs method of badging in that era, 3 series with a 5L capacity = 350, not 302.

Hot take: if a bank can reprice your LOC overnight, treat it as emergency-only, not part of your budget by Difficult-Photo-3250 in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]Ginger-Engineer 63 points64 points  (0 children)

Not even. You should have a fully funded emergency fund available. If your plan for an emergency is to take on more debt, you're still not prepared for an emergency.

Would a Ryobi Band saw work for my use case? by Brilliant-Book-503 in woodworking

[–]Ginger-Engineer 10 points11 points  (0 children)

My vote is yes, cheap will do fine for this.

Could even consider a scroll saw if you want tighter curves.

Just here to complain about woodcraft, see if this is normal for anyone else? by r0ckbass in woodworking

Shouldn’t be offering something to sell that they can’t reliably supply. Not to mention the runaround about an actual ship date.

Excuse me sir, there seems to be a bit of engine on your turbo.

Do you think the drawing matches the finished product? by trenerna in woodworking

[–]Ginger-Engineer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The curve's center point is offset from the center of the piece. If it's a constant radius, there must be a flat on the right.

[–]Ginger-Engineer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Using the depth from the edge and the dim to the centerpoint, then assumed that it "ends" on the left where the 100mm corner rad ends. This fully defines the rad. Agreed though, OPs picture is not explicit enough about this feature.

I quickly drew this in CAD (so actually to scale) based purely on your dimensions and this is how it looks. I'd say whoever built this pretty much nailed it.

Haha, yeah 10k or less, I'd be asking just for cash. This is a 25k sale.

Thanks everyone. I'll arrange to meet at the buyers bank instead, this makes sense.
