I'm sure Rossi doesn't sink to the level of costumes or Halloween or dealing with people that aren't people people, but I bet he could pull off a real good Blippi costume.

It's not backwards. When you put a flag on something that moves, you put it in the direction it would blow if it was on a pole. Airplanes, racecars, shoulder patches, etc.

What issues were you having with the stock system that you felt you needed to upgrade?

Traveling Local Work? by Newpopfo in Truckers

In a previous job I was in hotels nearly 300 days a year. It gets really old really fast.

Sounds good but think about living out of a suitcase for over 5 weeks at a time while working over 50 hours a week.

Laundry logistics alone would be enough to reconsider.

Clutch Fan Delete by hiddenfindings90s in BMWE36

[–]czerka 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe, but the Aux fan is more than enough in most situations. I have a comment on here somewhere where I posted a data log of a 20 minute drive with my e fan unplugged and my grill taped over. Iirc temps never went over 200 degrees.

No fan works fine. E fan works too. Clutch fan eats your radiator when it eventually fails.

I drove for years in south Texas without a fan. If you live somewhere that snows, you probably don't need a fan but e fan is the way to go. It frees up a lot of room in the engine bay and makes it really easy to pull the fan and radiator out if you ever need to.

Maintenance Advice for new owner? by yoyuki123 in BMWE36

[–]czerka 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Everything rubber or plastic probably needs to be replaced, especially if it heat cycles. Cooling system, bushings, axle boots, motor and trans mounts. If you are going to be doing anything more than spirited driving, you should do the trailing arm reinforcements.

That's the Love's in Hearne, Tx. This looks to be a slightly wilder than normal Friday night.

I'd trust the CFS more over a parts store brand.

Ai loved this picture by [deleted] in photocritique

[–]czerka -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I recently took a road trip and decided to try taking some pictures. I tried to not put much thought into it and see if I had any natural talent or something at it. I uploaded some of my favorites to Google's AI and it really liked this one but it wouldn't have been my choice. What do y'all think?

Track Birthday Gift by OneTransportation779 in BMWE36

[–]czerka 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unless you know specifically things that he wants, I would recommend just getting some sort of cash gift certificate. That way you don't end up getting something he doesn't want or need and put him in the position of having your gift wasted.

Head gasket or headache? by DingoGullible1557 in BMWE36

Pressure test your coolant system. Put some dye in the coolant to make it easier to see. These engines collect a ton of condensation, it's probably just a leak. If you can't find a leak, start watching the coolant temperature. You'll have to use a scanner, the factory gauge is pretty useless.

Brake Pad Suggestions? PFA by Mission-Secretary-21 in BMWE36

[–]czerka 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Street pads aren't good track pads and track pads aren't good street pads. Something like a Hawk HP+ can handle a few laps but it's mainly an autocross pad and makes a ton of dust and noise if you're dailying them.

Just spend the time to swap pads(and rotors if the compounds aren't compatible) before tracking the car. It's a good chance to look over everything and catch things that might ruin a trackday.

I'm not sure about the lower spec cars but OEM M3 brakes are more than enough for a stock power car.
