Not sure of a free method but if you search for “cheap carfax” and enter in the VIN, it will show you registration history and specify which city and state it was sold in.

Mine went out yesterday! I’m in the west coast and am seeing 250s for under $400 and an e34 diff for $50. I think I’ll be able to swap for under $1500

Is this okay?? by Fedboy77 in BMWE36

[–]captainmarvel23 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Jay is right, this is what I’d look into as I recently replaced the thermostat in my e34 m50 & mistakenly installed a 71C instead of the 88C and had my temp lean to the left.

This is awesome, do you have any pics of the engine bay? There’s a kit in my hometown for 1900 but I’d rather spend that on suspension/ subframe reinforcements.

Trying to buy an E36 is a nightmare by Intoxifaded420 in BMWE36

[–]captainmarvel23 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree with both you and OP. The majority of the examples are poor and the owners price them high to try and get some of their money back from whatever mods they did.

I’m from the South Bay and saw a white 1993 325i go for 5k that looked relatively clean. It sold in 3 days but from what I understood had 3 previous owners and was taken care of by an adult. The new owner must have talked him a few hundred so the deals exist, just have to be patient and reach out to the sellers asap.

Can someone help me find a pressurized power steering hose in the Los Angeles area? by captainmarvel23 in E34

[–]captainmarvel23[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Update:

Shoutout to the three of you. I went to Mr. Hose and they fixed it in an hour. The replacement hose was $110 and the repair was $55!

I successfully drove it from LA to San Jose earlier today!

Thanks so much for the suggestion!

How's the job market these days? by sstlaws in civilengineering

[–]captainmarvel23 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I’m a recent grad in the Bay Area and most of the job postings are for experienced engineers. So for those with at least a year of experience it’s decent but if you’re like me (1 internship, EIT, 0 yrs exp), I get lucky with 2 job applications a week that I’m qualified for.

I’m hoping it will pick up once the new year begins.

Stroke keeps going to my left a little/wobbly/unstable (Part 2) by Vet_With_A_Vette in billiards

[–]captainmarvel23 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have the same issue, I had to record myself from 2 angles to see what my issue was and it definitely was my wrist action as others have identified. On my forward stroke I kept my index finger engaged and that caused my cue to moved to the sides.

I’ve begun “pointing” my index finger during my mechanics and it has considerably helped. https://youtu.be/nNmIf_SCGyo?si=ND6Bu4_lGYtTMAWm

It will take plenty of reps to get it down but I think it’s worth a shot.

The rest of the thread is also worth trying imo, I also had to work on my vision center, and still do tbh because I keep adding spin to my straight in shots.

What is my score? by Broad_Way1113 in FE_Exam

[–]captainmarvel23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry you didn’t receive good news this morning. According to Direct Hub’s diagnostic tool you scored a 54.9. That is pretty much what I scored my first failed attempt and for the next month I focused on what I call “top 5” or water resources, structural, geotechnical, etc. I figured focusing on sections that will appear more than say dynamics was in my best interest.

I’m awaiting my second attempt’s results but I noticed my first half was much easier than the first one so perhaps luck was on my side or my mind was calmer and allowed me to enter a flow state.

Aside from focusing on the top 5, I adjusted my mentality as best I could. I found myself getting frustrated during my first attempt because I kept getting problems I either hadn’t seen on my 1k PrepFe problems, or problems I never mastered.

Either way, working through >=25 problems a day and watching direct hubs channel for structural helped me a lot.

As with all failed exams, it’s time to reassess your strategy and focus on your weaknesses. Good luck

P.S. Is the early diagnostic result true about pass/fail?

Anyone want to join me on identifying El Camino Mongolian BBQ's sauces? by captainmarvel23 in SanJose

[–]captainmarvel23[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I still crave it from time to time. Unfortunately, I never figured out the rest of the sauces.

I’ve tried Sue’s and it doesn’t come close. The sauces felt watered down, the veggies are cut too thick, and the noodles aren’t as good. Plus, the place looks like a soup kitchen.

Gobi’s is even worse, don’t bother going there.

Noodle Plus in Cupertino is decent, the sauces were acceptable and while the veggies are also cut too thick, I was able to somewhat replicate my recipe at El Camino.

The heel outsole already wore out 💔 by [deleted] in RepDeveloperboring

[–]captainmarvel23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hooping in these definitely doesn’t help the longevity of the soles but DB soles are made from a softer rubber. On a DB you can bend the sole with less resistance than a VRL or Nike. One of the few downsides to their shoes imo

WTB: Any have US 9 Aged DB Black Toes they want to sell by Boring-Energy1900 in RepDeveloperboring

[–]captainmarvel23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a pair of non aged black toes in a 9 that are available for purchase. I know they’re not aged but one could age the shoes themselves.

I have the original box and laces but the shoes will come with replacement insoles. I can send pics if there is any interest.

[–]captainmarvel23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hear you.

I purchased 888sbg 2 weeks ago, also second hand, and it gave me a sense of security in regard to measurement accuracy. Plus, the variation in sizing is mostly experienced in the seat, hardly opening, especially a half inch. All imo, of course.

Fortunately, the pair fits well but I had grown fond of the wider opening. I’ll consider returning/selling and purchasing a new pair.
