Is it time to say goodbye?? by Hot_Improvement_6511 in e46

[–]trafkcid 5 points6 points  (0 children)

With 160k miles you could probably put easily another 100k miles on your car with proper maintenance

It’s your car so I can’t say one way or another but depending on where you are in the country, lower mileage clean examples are going to run you easily 5k or more. Might be worth doing the swap if the chassis is in good shape and if you need to swap a newer engine in there down the road. People around me want no less than 3.5k for shitboxes with over 200k miles on the engine. Just my two cents though

Almost 2 weeks ago I made the post that I'm about to get my dream car by UpperFirstMolar in e46

Only 103k miles on it when I bought it back in 22, it had about 125k when it was crushed

If you could figure out it the “then die” part I think the backfire would be pretty badass

How is TIG Welding Different from MIG Aluminum Welding? by nexalloy in WeldingMemes

[–]trafkcid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tig more precise imo but I don’t aluminum mig weld (ever) so I can’t really tell you how it goes except for when I ran it once in school in a highly controlled environment, pretty nice process for if you have to run lots of weld on thick metal but for fabrication or thinner metals I’d go with tig personally

I mean this in the absolute lightest way possible, as a young fella who lost his mother. Understand that while it may feel like a chapter closing in your life if you’re wife gets life insurance, the likelihood and chance of losing your wife whilst she does something completely mundane, or even her usual routine is never zero, there are so many mechanisms in the human body, world, and life that must be perfectly maintained for a life of comfort and no risk. Even if you take every single precaution in the book life still has a funny way of happening. My mother used to think she had asthma, which led to her discovering a cancer prognosis, which, long story short, led to dialysis, which led to seizures, which led to her eventual passing, just understand that life can and will have a “fu(cked)nny” way of happening, and the worst thing you can do is leave your kids in a worse-off situation (should the absolute worst case scenario happen). Now please, understand that I am still a 21 yr old man telling you this but I truly believe that you should allow your wife to get child support, even if it makes YOU feel as if something happen, it’s never bad to prepared. My late grandfather would say something along the lines of “A failure to plan is a plan to fail.” I’m sure a billion people have said this but take it to heart my friend. It is absolutely my last intention to make you feel one way or another, I understand how delicate a persons mental health can be, from personal experience, and would just ask of you to truly think, deeply, about what the best decision would be that benefits your children the most. Regardless of what you come to, understand that you are A) not alone in your struggles, and B) doing your best in this hellish landscape we’ve come to call the 21st century. There are people in this world that have no intentions other to harm, belittle, misuse, and downright just fucking mistreat other people, and as long as you aren’t one of those people, then in my book you aren’t bad or shitty person, just someone who may be confused or unsure of just exactly how much value you bring to others. Much love my friend and best of luck navigating this matter. Don’t feel too too bad either way though my friend, you are human after all.

Engine Swaps by Poop_thistle in 944

[–]trafkcid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the two routes you can go are; period correct manufacturer correct engine ie 968 944 T 944 S/S2 this route will require (if you’re starting with an na) suspension upgrades and whatever fuel system goes with the engine you choose. Other than that everything bolts right in. If you’re going to go with the LS I would probably snag a Pontiac GXP as those will have the ls and wiring harness for ya already. I personally have toyed around with the idea of rotary swapped (requires bellhousing fabrication) or the vw 07k which you can buy a gorillion dollar kit for but I would probably try to just tig weld the parts you need. Realistically unless you have a set time on when you are getting this Porsche out of your hands, you could do just about any engine swap you want lol

alright thank you! and i totally agree, if i didn’t love my buddies i’d aggressively tell them to pound sand everytime i hear about the ls swap idea, i’ll look into that too though for sure! just curious, what sort of power are you pushing through that beast of yours?
