    '95 BMW M3 - shaeff's summer daily driver

    Wooo! Just sent payment on a set of ZKW's with Thinline Angel Eyes (which I'll be removing) for $220 shipped. They've had stoneguard on them since day one. Here are some pics: So my FX35 retrofit into these housings will commence shortly! :) I'm quite excited! The stock DOT spec lights are...

    cut springs

    Cutting springs will negatively affect all aspects of the car's suspension. Listen to Boris. If you do it anyway, then I'll be looking for your name on the Darwin Awards. :nono: There's a difference between inexpensive and cheap. You're being cheap, which is one of the worst things you can do...

    Checked out head to toe!!!

    Sometimes, I would get: "Excuse me, sir, I think this rust fell off your car. What should I do with it?" :sarcasm:

    JDM vs. USDM Heads

    They are interchangeable. Take the proper precautions, though. ;)

    Turbo Oil Line Nuts... WTF!?

    Well, since you said you have oil spewing out from the turbo, it's getting there somehow. Oil won't just flow uphill by itself, ya know. ;) (I'm betting your oil pressure is fine) And I've gotten those nuts screwed down a few times with the turbo on the car. I used Crow's Feet on a long...

    What is the best way to break-in a motor?

    Right on. And the OP said he had his transmission fully rebuilt. I'd put regular dino oil in there for the first bit to pick up any debris that could possibly form or get picked up, and change it out within a few hundred miles.

    "Milky white water" coming from my radiator:(..... Opinions?

    When I put a Cometic on my motor a few years ago, I had to remove a rivet or two. (I think it was just one) I clip the rivet out rather than trying to drill it.

    "Milky white water" coming from my radiator:(..... Opinions?

    Unless you've got a seriously messed up turbo that's cracked between the oil and water jackets, it's not the culprit. Blown turbo seals would leak oil into the compressor housing, or the exhaust housing. They could cause your intake pipe and intercooler pipes to get oil in them, or blow oil...

    Checked out head to toe!!!

    When my car was on the road, I only got comments at night. It was ugly, but pretty quick. If someone follows me, I don't go home. If someone sneaks in and follows me home, I get very, very fucking angry. The last thing I need is some kid knowing what I've got under the hood, not to mention...

    project bmw before and after, and never ending.

    Did Canadian '96+ cars not come with the digital climate control? All M3's in the States had manual climate controls for '95 and earlier, and digital for '96+. Damn, I wish I could help more!

    EZCarLift? Anybody have one of these?

    You're better off finding a used two post lift for sale. I've seen them for sale in my area for around $1000. Every time one pops up, I miss it narrowly. :(
