Update:

I got to drive it around and shortening the shift really helps, its a good 3 inches shorter than it was. The transmission I put in it shifts nice and I used full synthetic oils for the transmission and rear differential.

Grats on the working transmission. What brand oil did you use?

I don't care what other's have said in this thread. You saw what you wanted and you are doing the work to make it your own. BRAVO!!! I've been working on my apartment over the last year and a quater. I've put in cherry wood flooring, painted and renovated my bathroom (including plumbing, painting, flooring, cabinet/sink/faucet replacement), replaced my refrig which caused me to "fix" a cabinet above it so it could fit, did various work on furniture restoration/making, mounted my new Sony 37" Bravia on to an existing entertainment center (that took some engineering), and am currently slowly repainting my kitchen. I plan to replace the windows in the bedroom and living room myself, and I look down the road to replace my bathtub/shower with a more japanese style design. My home is awesome, many people who come over are astounded by the way it looks and think a professional did the work. I smile.

RISE FROM THE DEAD!!!!!

:laugh:

Update: I might have someone interested in it, again. I'll be kinda sad to let it go but one less headache for me. I had to replace the water pump before I went to basic training. Not much else has gone on with it since I've last updated this.

Yeah, it became a money pit, parts are hard to come buy and expensive. I'm kinda sad to get rid of it, if the kid can get the money. But I can always find something that's as fun as it. But if the deal falls through, there may still be some updates.

DONT GET RID OF IT! You put so much work into it. And yes its a money pit, but your getting rid of all the old parts. You have a few more major old parts to go and youll be done.

I mean the ENGINE IS NEW, so the timing is good. The transmission you rebuilt. and etc.

Keep with it bio please!

Well I'll see tomorrow if the deal falls through. I would like to keep it but I really don't have any place to store it, it's sitting outside at my dad's shop right now. If I had my own place with a garage it would be a different story but we will see what happens.

Are YOU selling it or is it your dad that want you to sell it?

I'm like that with my M3. BMW's always are a bit of a money pit, but in the GFC, I can't really afford to keep it. Plus it's value has been nearly halved in 3 years, what an absolute rip.

Only if you buy a crappy one... None of the BMW's I have had have ever really needed anything much done to them.

Any higher end car will suffer from high depreciation, especially when it is replaced by a newer model. The only M3 that actually retains any value over time is (IMO) the only REAL M3 - the E30...

    • This Dell 27 inch 4K 120Hz IPS monitor is really cheap after a very long time

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      This Dell 27 inch 4K 120Hz IPS monitor is really cheap after a very long time by Sayan Sen Recently we covered a really good deal on an AMD RX 9070 three-fan model that's available at slightly above its MSRP. If you are looking for a GPU for 1440p gaming that's around the performance of the Nvidia RTX 5070 you should most definitely check it out. Let's say that you are looking for a monitor to pair that up with too. The Samsung 49" G9 curved QD-OLED superultrawide is a good option that can provide an immersive experience. However despite being a very good deal currently (at $855), it may seem unaffordable to you, or you may simply not want to spend as much on a monitor. In that case Dell's S2725QS can be a very good option as it's on sale at the moment for its lowest price in over six months (purchase link under the specs table down below). The big highlight of the Dell S2725QS is its 27-inch IPS panel with a 3840 x 2160 (4K UHD) resolution, offering a high pixel density that can make text appear sharper while also providing plenty of screen space for productivity and media consumption. The display supports a refresh rate of up to 120Hz through both HDMI and DisplayPort, making it suitable not only for everyday desktop use but also for smoother gaming and scrolling. AMD FreeSync Premium support is included as well, helping reduce screen tearing during gaming sessions. The screen has fairly good brightness and color accuracy so you can use it for general work purpose, though photo/video editing is probably not going to be the best match for this. The technical specs of the Dell S2725QS are given in the table below: Specification Value Viewable Screen Size 27 in (68.58 cm) Screen Mode 4K UHD Maximum Resolution 3840 × 2160 Maximum Preset Resolution 3840 × 2160 @ 120 Hz Standard Refresh Rate 120 Hz Panel Technology In-plane Switching (IPS) Backlight Technology LED Edgelight System Pixel Density 163 PPI Response Time 8 ms GTG, 5 ms GTG, 4 ms GTG Horizontal Viewing Angle 178° Vertical Viewing Angle 178° Brightness 350 cd/m² (nits) Native Contrast Ratio 1500:1 Color Support 1.07 Billion Colors Color Gamut 99% sRGB (CIE 1931) Adaptive Sync AMD FreeSync Premium HDCP Support Yes Mount Type Panel Mount VESA Mount 100 × 100 mm Maximum Height Adjustment 13 cm Tilt -5° to 21° Swivel -30° to 30° Pivot ±90° Stand Adjustments Tilt, Swivel, Height, Pivot Glass Hardness 3H Horizontal Frequency 27–270 kHz (DisplayPort 1.4 / HDMI 2.1) Vertical Frequency 48–120 Hz (DisplayPort 1.4 / HDMI 2.1) Video Inputs 2 × HDMI 2.1 (HDCP 1.4 & 2.3), 1 × DisplayPort 1.4 (HDCP 1.4 & 2.3) Operating Temperature 0°C to 40°C Storage Temperature -20°C to 60°C Operating Humidity 10%–80% (Non-condensing) Storage Humidity 5%–95% (Non-condensing) Get it at the link below: Dell S2725QS 27-inch 4K 120Hz IPS monitor: $218.49 (Sold and Shipped by Amazon US) (Was: $280) Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified.

      Forget the iPhone. What about Android? Most Samsung Galaxy phones sold in the USA are manufactured in Vietnam. Asian countries have the infrastructure that the USA doesn't have. This is why most electronics are not made in the USA

      The RAM would still probably be more expensive than what they were paying last year.
