    Why BOV WHY!!!!

    It's a fairly simple device with not a whole lot that can go wrong. It's likely either the spring, the diaphragm, debris/gunked up, or a burr keeping it from operating properly.

    12 volt mod tip/discovery

    This is very old news, and has been done for years. ;) I advise against doing the 12v mod unless you're planning to run the fuel pump off a new relay, with good wire powering it. Don't rely on the 20+yr old factory wiring to push 12v/xA to your fuel pump, especially if it's an upgraded pump...

    I bought another Geo Metro

    Very true! (though not currently. :( I brokeded it) I can't imagine getting 40mpg. That's just crazytalk!

    I bought another Geo Metro

    You think 24mpg is FTL!? LOL, I get 20mpg from my '94 Toyota Pickup, and am jumping for joy getting 23(city) and 27(all highway) from the M3! Mostly 23 though. Heavy right foot FTMFL? I'm happy with anything over 20mpg.

    '95 BMW M3 - shaeff's summer daily driver

    Anyway, I felt like trying my hand at welding on the old subframe before I go welding on the AKG sway reinforcements and the bushing reinforcements, etc... I got it dialed in pretty well at the end. This is my first time using this welder with shielding gas (C25) and solid core wire (.35 wire...

    Agreed. At least I'm learning more about the car, though!

    No it's cool. :) The forum used to auto-embed, but we upgraded and haven't fixed it yet. I just did it to make it easier for everyone to see. :) I love that thing!

    I put video tags on them to embed the videos. That thing is wicked, and sounds menacing as hell!

    Supra in the movie Splinterheads

    I think you've got that reversed dude. He got the girl BECAUSE it's a pre '89. ;) It probably went down something like this: Him: Hi. Her: OMFGWTFBBQ! Is that a pre '89 Supra!?!? Him: Why yes, yest it is. Her: OMGUHOTLETSSEX!

    Yep, that's the one I watched. Fucking gross.

    '95 BMW M3 - shaeff's summer daily driver

    Pics from today. Not very interesting, but I figured I'd document it anyhow. Let me just say that the control arm bushings (subframe ends) were a PITA even with the press. Those suckers didn't want to move. It's a 30 ton press. Anyway, I marked up the arms a little, but I don't care at this...

    '95 BMW M3 - shaeff's summer daily driver

    Yeah, except that the MKIII subframe seems much more robust than the e36's. There are several weak spots that I'm going to reinforce within the next week or so. I've researched a bit, and found that this particular failure isn't uncommon, but it's not the norm either. I've only got about 260bhp...

    '95 BMW M3 - shaeff's summer daily driver

    Back from the dead thread. Figured I'd throw this up here just for documentation: Two weeks ago on a hard 7krpm 2nd -> 3rd gear shift, I snapped one of the rear mounting points for the differential in the M3. Damn near ripped the diff right out of the car, as with that sort of stress, the...

    Have you named your supra(s)?

    I'm tired of seeing shitbox Supras on the road. I've been there, I learned a lot on my first car. But when it came time to put up or shut up, I parted it out and junked the chassis due to serious rust issues. I'm tired of doing serious work to it, then pulling it off the road again to do more...

    srsly guys. What's up?

    And if you like to hug other men... what are ya doin' later? :naughty: I love long hugs, to be held tight, and a good sense of humor. I'll be here all week. ;) I'll have to check my schedule with buckshot, Suprahero, and Slow66 to see when I'm available, though.
