  1. yeah its probably one of the better movies out right now
  2. The battery light means that the recharging system is failing which generally points to alternator. However it could be both, or neither. Its best to have someone with the diag equipment to check it out. Any shop will be able to do this, not sure about the parts stores, but they probly can too.
  3. The 92 like i said will interchange with the 318 tranny. Firstly,i would check http://www.bimmerforums.com Youll find one on there for sure, but youll most likely have to arrange for shipping. Start by searching the for sale forums, if you dont turn up anything make a post in the wanted section. Another good one is http://www.car-part.com - which is an awesome resource for just about anything but again, shipping will be an issue but i have found that they are fair. As for price, Id say anywhere from 2-350 bucks would be fair for a low(er) mileage trans. I have one that i pulled from a 92, but it is higher mileage (180k) and the car wasnt drivable so i have no way of knowing if it doesnt have the same problem and really wouldnt feel too confident in selling it. If you cant turn up anything, shoot me a pm. Ill be able to turn up something. Justin
  4. haha that is amazing. I wonder how he thought that pair up.
  5. Dude its a bullshit law designed to generate revenue. A simple google search of "statistics on red light cameras effect on accidents" will give you many news articles citing that there has been no change in accidents and/or rear ending becomes more common at these intersections. Heres one: http://www.thenewspaper.com/news/10/1051.asp So if safety is the main concern, then this must be:
  6. I just got back from Ace Iron (across from pick and pull) as some of you suggested. It was a good experience, they were very helpful even though they knew i had no clue what i was doing. I ended up getting almost 400 bucks for 5 cats! The best part is, i have so much more room in the garage!!!
  7. Uhhh yeah!! the Earth is only 6,000 years old and dinosaurs and humans were around at the same time. Or at least thats what i learned at the creation museum in ky!!!
  8. firstly if your car is a 97 its a 328. This is unfortunate for you because you have the zf box which is only shared with the 328 and M3. this can be picked up from as cheaply as 250 and up to to 500 dabloons. However if you truely have a 325, you have a getrag box which is shared with the e30/e36 318 as well as 92-95 325i/s
  9. dude the whole point of this thread is that im not a rube and i wont be low balled on these because i know what they are worth, i just needed to know who bought them. Thanks for all the input, ill have to drop by on my day off. Also sorry for re-asking this, it didnt even occur to me to search this topic.
  10. well yeah, i could give away but apparently theres money in OEM cats. They contain three precious metals: platinum $1200/oz, Rhodium $5900/oz, palladium $320/oz It all depends on the manufacturer/style. Ive heard that 40-50 bucks is the going rate for larger sized bmw cats.
  11. The easiest one i ever did was against the death penalty. That speech wrote itself.I'm not a human rights activist or a hippy by any means, its just more cost effective from the states standpoint. Cost accrued by countless appeals> the cost to send them to jail for life.
  12. I'm not sure that its entirely possible to eat healthy fast food, but i have noticed that since they changed over their oil the fries are considerably shittier.
  13. Ill start off by saying that im not one of the shitheads going around sawzall-ing them off suv's, but i have profited off their douchebaggery by installing new ones Anyways, I probly have five or six bum catalytic converters that ive accumulated over the years from parting out cars and none of the scrappers ive gone to will take them. I asked one of the junkmen who comes by work looking for scrap metal and they wont give me a straight answer, just offer to split the money 50/50. Fuck that noise, we already give them free money. Maybe i will cut them open myself and make platinum grillz for me and my ladyz :woowoo:
  14. No kidding. I drove as little as possible this weekend and when i did, the cruise was set at 65. During holiday enforcement, theres no talking your way out of anything. Its all about the benjamins.
  15. not willing to be banned on bfc OT???
  16. Same here, i was told by my boss that he only considers those who follow up on their applications.
  17. thanks for all the replies, ill give these places a call. Unfortunately, this only relieves one headache related to this swap!
  18. Delaware is uber-gay, its thirty days UNLESS you need work/school privileges, then its 6 weeks. Thats why im thankful that i still had a franklin county address when i went to OHS.
  19. I wasn't sure that Evans did pipe bending, its worth giving them a call though. Im not trying to be picky, but i just want a place a little better than Midas. I stopped by one close to work to talk to them and they didn't know if their machine would bend stainless, as they had never done it. Stainless pipe isn't cheap enough to be their guinea pig (for me at least.) This would be exactly what i needed if i went the custom route: http://www.r3vlimited.com/board/attachment.php?attachmentid=6576&stc=1&d=1179110196 http://www.r3vlimited.com/board/attachment.php?attachmentid=6577&stc=1&d=1179110344
  20. I need my downpipes modified (bent) and welded to another system cut to fit or just Y-ed into a single pipe with a cat, resonator and muffler. Either way, im just looking for a reputable shop that does quality work. thanks
  21. but its been a few years. My names is Justin and i go to CSCC, which seems to be a popular choice here. I have an old ass bmw with some slightly less old ass bmw parts. Im looking forward to finishing up my latest project and making it out to some meets this summer.
