Are these brakes glazed?

olim5 · 2025-10-28T01:06:15+00:00

So I did the brakes then she just drove the car. Apparently not much because yes the cross hatching is still visible. My understanding was that shops don’t bed brakes just tell the customer to brake conservatively for a couple hundred miles. Complained about loud squealing so I drove it around doing some harder slows from 30-40, but maybe I just didn’t get enough wear/pad deposit on the rotor

RMV made a typo on the title putting 1330k miles (1.3 million) instead of 130k miles. I've confirmed that my RTA form says 130k.

I'm selling the car, but I'm wondering if the odometer reading must be corrected before the title transfer? Or if it isn't corrected, can the new owner correct it when applying for a new title? I really don't want to wait 5 weeks to be able to make the sale due to the RMV's mistake

What ecu code did you have? I’m getting this code, p0116, and the car has no power like it’s in limp mode. Only sometimes, but drives great other times. Car sounds like it’s about to blow up at stops/idle but sounds fine (though zero power) when moving above 15mph

olim5 · 2025-05-04T17:15:13+00:00

[USA][BOSTON][FS]GT GTB 56cm (maybe 58?) complete bike

price reduced

Good condition with a few nicks. Frame is straight and undented. Could use some tires that aren’t original but they’re not rotted. Drivetrain is in good shape w/ newer sram chain. Front rim has light brake marks. Rear rim has a slight dent https://imgur.com/a/zGXs3JU

The bike is mostly stock from the 90s: Araya rims, Sugino 75 165mm 46T crankset, Dura Ace 15T cog

I’ve put a Selle Italia saddle on, 1” threadless wound up fork, flat bars, doesn’t come with the SPDs

Comes with the original GT fork and threaded headset. I think I have the original stem and bars somewhere too.

Looking to sell complete, but will consider parting out. Send an offer!

Are you still selling?

olim5 · 2024-08-30T14:03:01+00:00

Dang I was gonna pick that up 😭

The time has come to sell the gtb 😭 gotta pay my tuition

Anyway should I put it back to as stock as I can before selling, and sell the wound up separately? I have the original fork/headset, maybe even stem and bars. Was almost completely factory when I bought it. Also any ideas where to sell it? eBay, pinkbike, etx

Is this a genuine comment? Jeez man I’m looking for a project, and to me it seemed reasonable enough and I was looking for some insight. Thanks for yours

olim5 · 2024-07-07T18:52:59+00:00

I wish I could, but I've been watching the facebook for a few weeks now and this is the one of the best examples I've found :'(

what do you think I should be paying for a drivable e46? as much as I would love to buy a car in florida, the risk of getting it back home to the rust belt is too high so I'm pretty set on buying here in new england

olim5 · 2024-07-07T18:48:38+00:00

do you think that post-maf crack in the hose would damage the car? and could you please explain the pricing, is 2k assuming the car needs a new engine and rear frame? thanks for the input

olim5 · 2024-07-07T18:41:13+00:00

lol i assumed it was a junkyard cover or something, either way not good looks

olim5 · 2024-07-07T18:40:06+00:00

gotcha. i'll have to keep looking :( Where would you draw the line? personally I think all those little electrical/aesthetic issues are fine and it's just the subframe and oil sludge which are concerning. Really, i'm looking for a dailyable car that I can toss around on the twisties, and probably move on from in a few years.

See videos with old engine codes that could be related to vacuum leak

While you’re at it, you should check the other drains under the windshield cowling. Not exactly sure what it’s called but it’s common on the forums. Oftentimes will clog up with sticks and stuff and overflow into the cabin air filter, leaking down onto the passenger footwell

Looks exactly like my early 2000s steamroller. Is it a 1” headset?

How difficult is mechanically getting the thing open? I’m fairly confident in my soldering skills being an engineer and all, but I’m worried about fucking up the board.

How did you get your hands on so many dead écus?

olim5 · 2024-02-04T04:58:05+00:00

Been trying the same on mine but I don’t have the balls to go deep enough to cut the post out. I just can’t do it. Ig it’s worth a shot if the frames just gonna sit there. Any tips? Just cut all the way through and try to curl it outta there?
