Had to go in to the office for a few hours.

Can't print anything at home due to privacy so i had to go in and print and prepare to fedex a shit ton of documents because of that dick sucker.

kurtatx

Include dick pics.

Yumcha

You'd have to zoom in.

thoiboi

That was a strap on

Midnight Mystery

Guess so when all you have is a grain of rice down there.

So, who's WFH today?

Catzilla

Dallas is all "shelter in place". My work got an exemption but I hope the Acura dealer parts counter can gimme my solenoid gaskets because I am sick of dailying my stupid truck.

Got a guy coming over to buy E36 parts I'm dumping to make room in garage. Hope he's clean.

tell us more!

A few years back I traded a clean but slightly bent 2000 Maxima with a pinhole head gasket leak (which I told the guy and he didn't believe me even though I showed him the little stream of bubbles in the coolant tank) for a junkyard dog of a BMW. 1994 325is coupe, stock 2.5l M50b25tu inline 6 and a 5-speed that had been swapped in. It was a pretty boring Samanabeigemetallic gold color, had dents, and was a rebuilt wreck apparently assembled in a dirt alley by a moron. I dumped 8 jizzbillion dollars into FCP Euro & ECS Tuning, did full intake refresh - including all 10 rubber coolant hoses. Being an old OBD1 car, it had a chip in the DME (that's German for ECU) and was extremely peppy. I swapped in M3 front suspension and brakes (huger than stock), poorly wired in a Mishimoto e-fan & aluminum radiator, fixed hundreds of little things, and made a ghetto Home Depot CAI with heat shield. I really enjoyed driving it, especially after scoring a Euro M3 steering wheel that felt wonderful.

Mid 1990s was the pinnacle of BMW. Their cars had this brilliant analog driving feel, simultaneously light on the feet but rock-steady. You feel as if you do in fact own the road, and you can handle anything - with the chassis's extremely high grip, elegant poise, and great balance. The little inline 6 felt amazing, instant and perfectly linear throttle response with power and torque at all RPMs. I scored a $$$ Magnaflow OBD2 M3 dual cat exhaust off Craigslist and it sounded excellent.

However the poorly dyed and disintegrating interior, the transmission that whined even with fresh Redline, the frustrating "mechanical puzzle" engineering design, the shitty peeling gold over dents exterior (made worse by my inept DIY bodywork LOL) and the near-continual stream of things breaking with age got to me. The power window mechanisms alone cost me hours of blood, sweat, and tears.

Then I got broke and sold the car for pennies. /E36

Thanks for that trip down mammary lane!
Very cool ownership of the car...
Funny, it felt like you were describing how I feel
about my TL (minus most of the annoying issues).

You have a passion for that stuff too...very cool.

Poor Tobey.

Catzilla

Saw someone blow their motor on my way to work this morning. Little Mazda 3 hatch (not a Mazdaspeed) merged onto the freeway totally on the boil. He cut in front of me in the middle lane (I anticipated this and let off to give him room), then cut off the Kia that had just passed me in the left lane. As he mashed it to make the gap, his little Zoom Zoom car just spewed a huge cloud of oil smoke out, coating the poor Kia and getting my windshield too. The Kia had to brake to avoid rear-ending the slowing Mazda, but miraculously the Mazda downshifted and with a final puff took off again, cutting over back to the right lane - with the Kia right on his butt - to exit to another freeway. I bet that Mazda's mill is knocking like a bill collector now, if not dead.

should have followed him.
part out.

Mizouse

Yumcha

Maintain social distance! Wash your hands alot!

Mizouse

pretty easy to do. downtown SF is a ghost town.

Yumcha

Why do you have to go in today, M?

Catzilla

Glad to share.
Just sold a pair of front suspension-hub-control arm assemblies with nearly new brakes to a guy doing 5-lug upgrade to his turbo E30 coupe.

I have been in love with many, many cars over the years. FB & FC RX-7s, VW Scirroco, MKII & MKIII Supras, Z31 300ZX, '90 Civic Si, B16 Sentra SER Spec-V, Protege5, Porsche 928S, even loved the slightly stoopid Maxima for it's big balls and roadtrip stamina.

I feel that the 3G TL Type S is quite special indeed. It really strikes a BMW-esque balance of performance and comfort but with the unfathomable Honda Zen replacing the stereotypical Germanic arrogance. I have driven mine just over 1000 miles and it's already as comfortable as if I have had it for 100,000 miles - something my dearly departed Spec-V never had. This is a gem of an automobile - I am glad to have scored it and can't wait to sort out it's neglect-issues and run it up to 300k miles.

Midnight Mystery

You describe your TL how I describe my Accord... Those Acura Accord TypeS's are really the shit, you know!

Mizouse

because of the dick face.

Quite a heritage of cool cars you've owned...
badass...
and you're obviously not new to the internet and forums.
I am following your piece it back together thread on that Type S, as well so DO post updates and pics.
I enjoy the maintenance and fixing shit up as much as anything else on here at this point.
I've said it elsewhere before...I've had "better" and more power and more luxury but there's something
about this platform and how it drives. I thought I needed more and I'm happy to say I was lucky enough
to be able to take a step back into it and clean it up for a second time.

Another fun fact: I had a poster of a 2000 Maxima on my wall at work touting the 200HP ad campaign for
the LONGEST time.

Catzilla

The Maxima's VQ30DET was no joke. It had the most aggressive cold-enrichment ECU programming I have ever experienced. Leaving work on cold winter afternoons I could roast the tires. I ran that car all over Texas, Oklahoma, and Louisiana while traveling for work and a few highway runs were just epic. There's a section of tollway south of Austin where I held 110mph for miles and miles on a Texas-hot summer afternoon... and when I got home the coolant tank started bubbling. Doh!

The ergonomics were meh and the steering was way too light but that VQ power was fun. However now that I have a 3G Type S, the Maxima is a horse-drawn wagon by comparison.

Midnight Mystery

Sounds cool. How about those Infiniti I30's?

LMAO...MM...bags of sand?

I know that elation though...cooler advanced timing...I used to think it was in my head but g'damn...the S2000...the TL...obviously anything FI
absolute pleasure to drive.
