That would be very unfortunate.. I'll check.

Edit: Heater core looks fine

weather cleared up so I did a quick detail and decided to take some photos by the water

E92William · 10-01-2020, 12:12 AM

It's rebuilt disa valve testing hours:

Also LemansE90335xi was right about looking "certifiable" with the computer outside, I had a neighbor ask if I was a bmw mechanic

Good thing I'm not the only one with selective eyesight

Mocked up a second oil cooler, trimming is a bit crude.

I was thinking that "Water" is an unusual name for such a pretty lady.

That looks great. Reminds me of the e60 n54 oil cooler setup I'm surprised more people don't use it since it sits in front of the radiator

HAHAHA, the colour is listed in the OP signature ( Vermillion Red) but I understand why you missed it.

E92William · 10-01-2020, 04:29 PM

Picked up an oil cooler from an n54 at the junkyard. This car seems like the owner was swapping the engine and it fell on the radiator support leading to him saying "fuck this shit" and junked it

E92William · 10-01-2020, 05:59 PM

Straightened some fins out and flushed the cooler and lines with naphtha and alcohol. I'd say it's pretty good given where it came from lol. Just need the gasket and bolt kit from fcp and I think it's ready to throw in the car

How are the Delphi parts? Are they made in Turkey? I was thinking of getting Delphi LCAs for another vehicle.

I will be trying them out this weekend if I get the 12 ton press I'll need for wheel bearings. They didn't look bad quality. However I ordered one left and one right side sway bar links for the front and they look different colors and the balljoint housing is a bit different looking although they're the same length, part number and everything else matches. Control arms look and feel good.

After buying a replacement CA key fob for $350, I found where I misplaced my two original key fobs when I moved to my new house. Now I have 3 sets of keys!

That's a good problem LOL, i got my car with only one key

ky0u · 10-01-2020, 08:43 PM

So umm, not my e92, but my other car. I went to remove the headlight housing so I could open it up since water got inside it.

As I'm unclipping the back, I notice a small white round sac hanging from some spiderwebs back there. Probably an old egg sac, NBD.

I get to the front of the car and pull the housing out. Theres actually 8 fucking spider egg sacs just sitting underneath attached to the housing. I barely stopped myself from dropping the headlight and now I'm debating torching my car.
