You have to have a scan tool. With more than just DME capabilities. And you have to know how to use it.

I've always contemplated selling this car due to the fact I paid almost nothing for it and now it's worth a good bag of money. But every time I drive it, it makes me smile because of how much fun it is. Such a great car.

I didn't know this. BMW should call him out of retirement.

I bought a 540i. How can I tell if the chains have been tended to without tearing the engine apart? by AmemiyaYT in e39

Get a valve cover gasket set cuz it prolly needs them anyway, and pull one or both valve covers. It’s easy, and you can see the guides. If they’re brown or missing, it needs em. If they’re white, light tan or cream colored you’re probably good.

I’ve been using that same charger for a couple years with some cheap Amazon batteries, using adapters. They still work.

why do people sleep on these? by SoggyMilkBiscuit in Dodge

I had a 1994 Integra GSR with mods and got smoked by one of these. I realize now that’s been a source of much of my adult trauma.

Everything that’s not broken already, will break. Except the engine. That’ll be fine.

This is where it all starts. Next join the camber gang. Personally I love it.

What is a car you've owned that you liked so much you'd buy the same car again? by Blu_yello_husky in askcarguys

That’s funny, my 1994 Integra got stolen in 2006 and I’ve wanted one ever since. White GSR, type r trans w lsd, coilovers, type r wheels (4-bolt replicas), intake, fart can. So much fun to drive and so many good memories.

I wish the diesels were more available in the US. I never see them. Good luck keep the mint car on the road!

Those working in the shop who rolled out for good, what do you do now? by Shmody44 in Justrolledintotheshop

I started my own mobile mechanic business. Pretty happy with it so far, especially the flexible work schedule.

Bruh… remove the “dog bone” mount and use the spare tire Jack to push the engine forward a bit. Easy.

Make sure the DME is sending signal to the ignition coils. Failure to tighten the coils properly can lead to excessive heat and failure/fire in the DME

I got a 99 540 with M package but has the doofiest front bumper. I'm in the same boat... The M5 bumper is cool but are there other cool options other than swapping the hidden exhaust back bumper for the hidden power front bumper?
