I have no idea how I recovered it as well but shit am I glad I didn't hit anything or get owned worst. I believe I hit some "black ice". It wasn't even raining when it happened...and yes my tires were pretty bald so it's my fault lol

glad your alright!!! where did it happen?

my tires are still cool. Yeah I was driving right after the thunderstorm, so the road was pretty wet. It was on 280 right before the split into 101 heading towards Bay bridge. sighh never felt so scared in my life lol.. like the car skided right then left then hella close to hitting the wall next to fast lane ... I really dont know how I didnt crash..

lol. E36 = high maintenance.

Chowbow · 01-20-2010, 07:44 PM

Well, everything is high maintenance if you want it done right I think. The 190E was no different really.

Chowbow · 01-20-2010, 07:44 PM

And when you buy coilovers for a DD, then it's not so much high maintenance now rather than just a little over the top.

Well, apart from upgrades like COs, I mean done right as in not cutting corners and just buying the proper parts and replacing wear items before they break.

Like new control arms and bushings, new strut mounts, new tie rod assemblies, GC RSMs and RTABs w/ shims for suspension...

Then a new radiator, hoses and expansion tank, lower t-stat and fan temp switch, electric fan kit, delete the always exploding engine fan, and a real gauge to monitor coolant temps. That's for the cooling system.

Plugs, filters, and misc. stuff for a tune up.

Interior I bought a deck that can take an iPod. And I got the COs, and will tint the windows before it gets hot. Oh, and swapping seat cushions on the front seats so the passenger one will now be the driver's one to even out some of the wear.

So, lots of work to do and lots of money spent already.
