Crank, but no start. No spark. No fuel. This e34 is the least reliable vehicle I have ever owned.

I blame Earl.

Crank position sensor or main relay

[HipMF]

Tried jumping the relay. Crank sensor already ordered.

Earl should give you free rides until he fixes it.

I tried to get rid of my thumb today

Only 6 stitches, still annoying. Nail stopped the knife fortunately. 3 hours at the clinic because it wouldn't stop bleeding long enough to get it sewn up. This just means I don't have to work on the Miata for a week or so, silver linings I guess.

Anyone else feel spring approaching rather quickly? Applying sealant to my new wheels for my X3. Hopefully this helps to keep them looking nice. Can't wait to get these and the H&R springs on.

[straight6pwr]

those are amazing. what do you seal them with?

[wasnt m3]

I'm trying out Chemical Guys Jets Seal. It's supposed to work pretty well. Application was super easy with a foam applicator, only took about 15 minutes to do the whole set. I'll polish it off by hand in the morning. I'm sure I won't ever let them get too dirty but this style of wheel is a pain in the ass to clean so anything will help.

[Earl]

That is a good choice for the x3=)

I cant imagine how firm an x3 would ride with aftermarket springs [emoji1348]

But im sure it would out-corner an E30 or two

[wasnt m3]

Hopefully not any worse than it already does with the m tech suspension. 19's aren't going to help, that's for sure.

Every time you think of a rough ride watch this

Looks like you and @suspenceful are going to be matching Apex wheel buddies

Why do miatas have so many bushings

Because racecar

Parts store didn't have a cup the right size to pull my rear wheel bearing, so I made my own. Also learned that you can cut really close to a shoulder with an angle grinder if you cut a helix around the part.
