called lubemobile for quote on engine mounts

or am i better off going to a specialist mechanic for my car's make?

what's so bad about lubemobile?
desu i was just trying to get a quote then the guy goes ok see you on ____ and hangs up lmao

>>13958357
which one do you like best?
the VW looks nice but the BMW would be more fun

>>13958363
lube mobile are shit and they've lied to me twice. take it somewhere decent and make sure its RACV approved.

>>13958374
ah k.
i read something like that but all the responses were
"make it clear what you want done and that you want them to come to you if anything comes up"
i thought that was standard when using a mechanic lol
what happened to you?
desu gonna cancel lubemobile and take my business my regular mechanic who are good guys

>>13958357
BMW because mod potential and heaps of aftermarket support.

E36 convertibles are shit. The auto was pretty rubbish too.

The Astra because I want to be as cool as Jimmy was.

you might also get mistaken as being a girl too.....

>>13958444
>not liking convertibles
E36 convertibles don't have any stiffness. Kills the whole point of the car, balance and handling

>autotragic meme
Go drive a mid 90s automatic E36. The slushbox joke exists for a reason.

>>13958481
>E36 convertibles don't have any stiffness
when buying a convertible i'd want that sweet soft suspension. a convertible isnt meant to be sporty. its for driving around ncie and easy with the top down and the sun on your shoulders.

>The slushbox joke exists for a reason
only because of the shit awful 4 cylinders which were only in 318s. all the rest are straight 6.

>>13958462
>Astra convertible
no.
don't.

>>13958522
>telling someone on /dat/ not to do something
bitch please that's how jimmy was created

>>13958505
Except E36s are sports cars at heart. Essentially killing the handling of the car. It'll be unusable in Summer (heat) and leak in Winter too.

>only because of the shit awful 4 cylinders which were only in 318s. all the rest are straight 6.
And? The engine configuration doesn't change how awful the transmission is.

>>13958666
Strawpoll it and then start offering the cars that lost $500 less but include a KFC bucket in the spirit of Jimmy.

>>13958666
do some background research on the cars first.

>if it looks so nice why are they getting rid of it? is it surplus or because its fucked?

example vw golf/beetle (same floor pan) never buy the automatic ones. because vw never made a good auto.

thinking of buying an e36 328i, I was pretty sure they had the water pump issue but haven't ueard anything about the hg

Guys the guy selling the Astra Convertible just dropped the price $500 if I get it today.

Nothing wrong with it besides the torn seat he's just going over seas and doesnt want it sitting.

which bmws had headgasket problems?

water pumps are always an issue on bmws but it shouldn't cost more than a couple of hundreds to fix.

>>13959104
>>13959165
Oh I didn't read second half. A ton of the E36 328is had nikasil engines that lost or would lose compression pretty early into their life.

You want to make sure it was swapped to a non-nikasil engine at some stage in its life.

It should only be an issue on 93-06 M60s and 95-98 models with M52 engines. I've got one of the warranty-swapped engines in the 328i I've gotta fix.

Easiest way to tell is to look at the engine under the start motor.

>why shouldn't I just swap in an engine from an e46 330i
Cost.

It's kind of more trouble than it's worth if you don't know what to expect.

what a lazy cunt.

>>13959809
Do it yourself then ya lazy cunt, no doubt your dad has the tools unless he is dead.

>>13958644
never heard about the headgasket issues but literally ever E36 on the road today has had the metal water pump installed. it would be impossible for any of the plastic ones to have lasted this long.

as long as he avoids the nikasil engines, the E36 is pretty solid.

>>13959602
There should also be a sticker saying it passed the recall near the engine I think. The only way a nikasil engine was OK was when it was run on premium only (not just 95 but had to be 98) which a lot of people didn't do.

>>13959830
I’m not lazy, I just lack the skills and tools to do it by myself.

>>13959840
Yep. Low sulphur fuel stopped the problem.

Next time I stop by the garage I'll check the manual on the car. I think the original engine lost compression around the 100k mark.

>>13959809
Just buy a workshop manual thing for your car, and see what tools you'd need for it. What exactly needs to be done?

>>13959854
Most of them have probably long since been replaced, I really doubt a nikasil could last this long. It should be easy to tell if it's been replaced considering the sticker and the pic the anon posted.

>>13959861

So the BMW guy is super keen on selling the car to me. Has dropped the price to $3,000 and offered to deliver it if I want him to.
Only thing I don't like about it is that the roof is manual. So if/when I get caught in the rain I'd have to fuck around putting it up...

http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-view-details.html?adId=1096832815

I want the Blue Beetle just because of the license plate... AYE LAMO

>>13963352
modern manual roofs are pretty easy to set up. you just pull it up over and then latch it to the windscreen.
you'd have to pull over to put up an electric roof anyway.

>>13963382
True.
I think I'll go give it a look tomorrow.
Still tempted by some other cars though it's so hard to settle on one.

There are some others I'd like but the sellers wont drop below $4,000 which the cars are worth it but I just don't know if I can afford right now as I've some other major expenses coming up.

>>13963400
> I just don't know if I can afford right now

its best to stay in your price range and not go over

>>13963413
It's not that I don't have the money, I just don't want to spend it and then be caught out later on when I need it.

Neet bux only replenish so fast you see.

Never taken part in the Toy Run, but it has always interested me, wouldn't mind bringing the camera along to get some nice pics of other bikes, but if I do go to it, it'll end up taking me way for north of Perth and i'll definitely be late for other prior engagements. Plus i've never done a group ride or anything like this before.

Knew someone who went last year, they said it was great. Police were chill as long as you aren't full retard, most of the intersections were blocked off so you don't have to stop too often.

I wish I had a bike license, I defiantly take my camera- the range of bikes is great. Everything from classics to the latest selection.

how much can you undo an oil filter before it leaks? I want to change my oil but my wrench doesn't fit the filter, and because I'm a cheap cunt I want to see if I can take it off by hand before I go draining it

of course i could go in depth and be specific about what turbo because later models had a revised turbo and fuel injectors that made them easy to get lots more power from.

Not bad, the makeshift lights are probably more reliable than my pleb-tier natural lighting. As for your camera, I'm somewhat jelly, having a nice range of lenses without needing retarded adapters. I guess that's what happens when you buy Shillsung.

Uhhhh, what? The American NA model came with a 5S-FE Camry engine, while the Japanese, Euro, and AU/NZ models came with a 3S-GE... the 3S-GE was by far the better engine of the two. Americans got keked.

>>13965385
>white lens
I've been looking at the a few of the 150mm+ lenses because "muh macro" but they always seem to jump in price.

Personally I've never had luck with any flashes when used directly or not on glossy/reflective surfaces. Constant light and a tripod would probably be your best bet there, but I can't help much as I'm still pretty much instagram-tier.

>>13965481
Yeah, I really dislike flash.

Longer exposures + your own light source always end up better, but I guess flash is designed for the quick "right now in the moment" photography when you don't have time to set up a tripod and fuck around with time settings

Not him but in my experience Astras are a god damn pos car. Newer ones have terrible dash and transmission. Older ones have a great engine but shit seats, shit internals, shit literally everything except the engine. And if you buy one from anyone else except some old lady who uses it to drive to church and back, expect it to literally fall apart on you.

If you just want a to work and back shitbox then you could do worse I guess.

>>13966122
you can turbo them and make great sleepers.

>BUT funny wheel drive.
If they'd made them rwd/awd, they probably would have been a highly desirable car, think their engines where pretty solid.

>>13966083
vids when?
don't dog the boys

>>13966122
the mazda mx-6 has higher comp ratio and 4WS no not as aggressive as prelude 4ws

>>13966097
The engines are spectacular, the suspension is better than the big 3 of period

>>13966111
I wonder how often peugeots get vandalised by someone who changes the letters around to say that

gotta say, I'd kek if I saw it

>>13966143
Pogo sticks where better than the big 3's suspension back then.
Sometimes I feel a bit sad about Folden fucking off, then I remember some of the shit sandwiches they used to serve up

>>13966151
used to have a old w108 70s merc benz. suspention design was light years away from australia and america at the time. used to glide along the roads

Do the Toy Run man, I enjoyed doing it for the first time this year.

Rumbling down the road with 7000 other bikes is a pretty cool feeling.

>>13966135
Coming tomorrow
It's literally a smoke machine, wouldn't idle tho. Only ran it for 5 seconds or whatever.

>>13966151
True, but the P76 actually has a semi-reasonable design.
They're spectacular cars once restored by someone who has corrected all the fuckups by the people in the factory

>>13966170
I meant skids vids but that's cool too m8

>>13966151
>no retro VL

>>13966157
I had a 1971 Peugeot 504 which was much the same, 4-wheel disks, independent suspension all round. Bit gutless until I stuck a twin-carb setup from a 505 on it.

>>13966170
Yeah they got a lot more malign than they probably deserved.

Why do the good cheap bikes have to be so far away?

They absolutely did. I have barely any doubt that the company would've done a lot better (read: Head Office wouldn't have made them shut the doors in 81) if it was built by competent workers.

What we probably should have got is another small-mid sized car, rwd with either a turbo 4 or decent 6 in them
People gave up on commodores a long time ago because they're too fucking big, but they would have taken notice of a 'new' Torana

Also, there's another Auto Brunch this Sunday for those who are near

My point is for that price, what's wrong with it, and what's going to cost you a fortune to fix. Add to that the fact you don't know if you can afford buying a $4000 car outright and you're setting yourself up for trouble buying an E36. Let alone a flexy convertible one with a piece of shit transmission.

>>13965142
>>13965178
Didn't you say you were leaving /dat/ a couple weeks ago?

>>13966274
No, that was socks.

>>13965949
I was talking about the nikasil engine and cooling problems in my post. It's a common known issue. It mainly affects the M52 engines.

The cooling problem is all E36s.

>>13966158
I really disliked the Toy Run when I did it. Clusterfuck with tons of riders who barely know what they're doing swinging around in their lanes.

Then a group like SARS will usually rock up to make as much noise as possible and show off.

>>13966275
I seem to remember someone using a photo of your car and making a comment like I'M GOING LIKE SQUISHY AND LEAVING THIS PLACE FOR GOOD. Then getting paid out because it was Socks and not Squishy.

>>13966280
>The cooling problem is all E36s

Typically that's just the water pump and maybe the radiator but most should have had those parts replaced with the upgrades by now (most got recalled and had the system overhauled, there's a sticker on the radiator).

>>13966290
The original piping tends to rot away too.

>>13966299
Most people who have it serviced regularly should have had it replaced. Like with any car, I'll never consider it if there's no books/receipts and obvious neglect.

>>13966302
My main point was if you're spending 3k, but can't spend 4k, you probably can't afford to own that E36. The cheapest part of any car is buying it.

>>13966308
are you talking about 3k lowballer?

Hopefully picking up a 2011 300EXC on Friday morning. Maybe this time some cunt won't swoop in and get there before I do.

Wish me luck

e36 fag here. Currently have an auto black sedan and the paint is peeling like crazy and interior is falling apart.

I'd rather get an e36 coupe with sunroof and fix it up. Also I want to learn to drive manual so why not burn through a clutch that probably needs fixing?

Thoughts? And things to watch out for on e36's on gumtree?

>>13966310
Yes.

>>13966327
E36 coupes are more expensive. Also the clutch is a cunt of a thing to replace in one.

>>13966274
that wasn't me lel

I still lurk semi-regularly

>>13966308
there are tonnes of dirt cheap E36s around and they're all fine. sure you'll get some shitheaps but E36s are just generally really cheap, the redbook on 318s is also only about 2500.

>>13966330

Would really like to learn more mechanical skills. Think an e36 coupe would be suitable?

I've got about ~20k cash I can dip into for parts when needed.

>>13966325
good luck

>>13966280
My experience of it was pretty chill in comparison. Everyone seemed to get into a rhythm once we were all moving, nobody whizzing past at a million miles an hour (at least not where I was) or anything.

Mind you, there were cops everywhere so I think anyone who who was feeling a bit "special" in the head would have been dealt with pretty quickly.

The most "out of hand" it got was someone doing a burnout in amongst a large group of people once we were all parked up at the waterfront.

Managed to miss it as well, lucky me.

>>13966325
Good luck.

>>13966336
318 don't count though. They're the red-headed E36. My entire point is if you can spend 3k on a car, but not 4k, you won't be able to afford to run an E36. Sure it's not modern BMW expensive, but it's more expensive than most cars.

>>13966345
Not really. Those engines are loaded with electronics and shit you shouldn't be fucking with.

Oh you fucking cunt.

>>13966414
Why are you so hooked on convertible E36s? They're really god awful. The automatics in those are fucking shit as well. Can you not drive manual or something?

You're looking at closer to 8k for a decent 328i btw. $4500 says something is wrong wtih it.

>>13966430
if the rego is long enough, fully worth it

>Has a panorama roof like the new vw passats that cost 30k+ why spend that when you can buy this for less then 1/100 of the price?

>>13966443
not him was just posting it because the owner is a dumb cunt.

>>13966448
Good to know. Those convertible automatic E36s are bad though. I hope they listen.
