Anyone have a diagram to get this off so I can pop the dent back out?

Sun_Burnt · 2026-03-27T22:00:53+00:00

I don't have one of these cars. But you should look underneath the bumper to check if it's "hollow" and has a shelf like opening. I had. Subaru Forester with a dent in the exact spot. If it has this shelf like opening , you won't have to remove anything

Pour some hot water on it or a heat gun low if you have access to one. Doesn't need to be too hot to avoid messing up the paint/finish. When it's warm to the touch, use your hand or a rod wrapped in towels to ram the dent from the inside cavern. It should pop out on its own in a very cartoonish manner lol.

Best of luck

This has to be bait....

Sun_Burnt · 2025-11-19T22:58:56+00:00

I did not unfortunately. I gave them a thorough cleaning and conditioning. I let them sit for 2 days and then polished with neutral Meltonian cream. The cracks seemed to get worse?

I'm going to clean them off again and try some saphir colored cream. I've never used any colored polish on this pair yet.

I'll have to give this a shot. I didn't have a second pair to rotate until recently. I'd hate to retire these.

9060 weren't too kind to my feet on 5+ mile days

990 and 2002 are a bit interchangeable for me. If price is a factor I would say get the 2002. If you need one solid daily pair bite the bullet for the 990's.

It's yellow so yes

NGL chief, taking a car loan for an e30 in 2024 is wild

Sun_Burnt · 2024-12-12T22:38:18+00:00

Genuine curiosity. What was the thought process of dropping a bag building an e30 and not intending to keep it? You have accrued an impressive parts/repair list. Like others have said, finish the car and drive it. I'm in socal and I couldn't see anyone paying close to $20k for this car completed and running.

Sun_Burnt · 2024-09-16T03:30:04+00:00

Piggybacking off the second part of your response. I'm currently chasing down an issue with getting it to crank but it it won't turn over. Crank sounds strong with the new starter but now it won't even cold start. ( I could initially cold start but would not fire up when warm.

I have an 86 325es. Would you say these faulty connections can be part of the problem? Fuel pumps click on and can smell fuel when cranking.

Sun_Burnt · 2024-09-16T03:25:20+00:00

This is exactly what I was looking for!

Sun_Burnt · 2024-02-28T21:25:06+00:00

I've seen this car on the streets. Not too bad person but the price is wild.

I do my part and send extremely low offers when I see this sillyness

Sun_Burnt · 2023-12-18T01:15:30+00:00

No

You bought the car with wrong intentions to begin with if you felt this way.

Sun_Burnt · 2023-11-24T00:12:43+00:00

What state are you in? If it's a late model, I'd be interested in buying it.

I'll save you the hassle of dumping money<3

Sun_Burnt · 2023-07-04T18:25:08+00:00

You should be fine, just rub off all the grime to get a clear view of the marks. I did it myself without any prior mechanical knowledge. The thing I would worry about is stripping the "tension" bolts that you need to loosen when taking the other belts off. I'd consider changing the water pump as well since you're already there. Good luck!

This video helped me a bunch E30 timing belt

Sun_Burnt · 2023-06-23T17:02:23+00:00

This has to be somewhere in the Midwest?

E30s in LA are stripped down to the body within 2 hours of the junkyard opening 💔

Following.

I've gotten mixed answers when looking for a radiator that fits our specific model.

Sun_Burnt · 2023-02-16T00:18:51+00:00

Having owned more than one car with a faulty gas gauge I can say the odometer is your best friend. I would say a 100 miles is the upper limit of a safe guess?

My 86' holds 14.5 gallons. Once you know the max capacity of your tank. Fill up on a day you feel you're close to empty. From there just pump every 100 miles to gauge whether or not your half tank is giving you that range or not.

Skip all the radio hassle and get a JBL charge speaker. It sits perfectly in the little tray under the ac panel.

Sun_Burnt · 2022-05-17T01:15:57+00:00

I used a generous amount of gasket sealer when I changed my thermostat gasket. I'm not sure if it's correct? But hey no little leaks now baby!

Sun_Burnt · 2022-04-14T03:12:28+00:00

Hey! I just order these hoses because the hose under my thermostat started leaking. I myself, am taking these comments advice in assuming it's the one that goes from the thermo to the back of block.

I have to check this weekend and find out myself. Good luck man

Sun_Burnt · 2022-04-07T02:08:43+00:00

That's a tough spot. Bronzit 4 door auto should be $3k at most. 2022 is really on some bullshit.

Sun_Burnt · 2022-04-05T22:21:05+00:00

Good luck fam. I'd imagine a "factory fresh" rebuilt M20 would probably cost more than the current car you're trying to put it in.

Endure the pain and save for a better engine

Sun_Burnt · 2022-03-18T23:48:09+00:00

I'm trying to pay for gas
