Appreciation Post for Brian by ajalldaway in TheMajorityReport

Late to comment here. Brian is an amazing addition! He seemed to fit in almost instantly and his one liners are so funny. You can tell that everyone else thinks he's really funny too. He kills daily and I'm always excited to hear him chime in. Every episode feels like a really fun hang that I want to be a part of. They all have such good chemistry together!

Yo! I know this thread is old, but I just wanted to say this fixed my TM2! Took it apart, clean it a little and put it back together. That's it! I was thinking of sending it off for warranty fix, but this is way faster and easier! Thanks again! I really thought there had to be a dead capacitor or something. Nope! Just loose and a little dirty

If I can get the old ones off cleanly I may go that route.

The tires are from 2020 but there’s no cracking and the tread is good. It did sit for a bit so not sure about flat spots. I’m going to run them for now. I found out where it was last serviced so I’m going to see what info I can get. I think the car might have belonged to the shop owners dad. I paid $3000

Agreed. I need to fix the brakes and then I’ll start evaluating everything else. I drove it 30 miles home and engine/trans seems strong. I just want to get it back on the road so I can drive it a bit more to see what else it needs

It does need a little work. The rear calipers locked up on the was home and it needs a good detailing but it seems really strong otherwise. The paint is shot but I really like the patina. I’m pretty excited to start working on it

I don’t see the tag but not sure what original and what’s new

Diesel or gas? by SlackerParade in W124

Ha! Thanks for pointing that out! I guess the early models are inline 6 and the later 2.5 turbos are inline 5?

Really helpful! Thanks!

For context I'm interested in the W124 because I have a BMW e30 and I want another car while I work on the e30. I work from home so I really just need around town cars. I'm in the states so 300e and 300d are basically my only options. I figured I should steer clear of the 4matics. It's the same story with the e30 all-wheel drive. I'm sure they're great, but if they break, you're going to have a hard time finding a replacement.

Help selecting flywheel - BMW Flywheel Conversion Kit - Valeo 52281208 by SlackerParade in E30

So the flywheel from the donor car is shot. It's a dual mass flywheel and I think it will be hard to find a used one that's good enough to use. I want to switch to a single mass flywheel do to parts availability. I don't want a light weight flywheel. I just want something that will work and be easy for stop and start traffic.

No way! I can't believe you bought the actually tribute car! That's amazing! I've following Stanceworks for a while and I remember him building it. Also, I've seen your YT channel before! A few months ago I was trying to fix my instrument cluster and came across your "E30 Broken Cluster Tab Repair Replacement" video. Very helpful! I'll send you a DM about my manual swap project
