I was wondering the same thing. They appear to be bumper stickers on your window? I am getting old I guess.

I had stickers on my Geo Prizm in high school, what I learned is it just gives cops a reason to profile and pull you over. Skateboarding type stickers in my case got me pulled over for doing 5 over in a 25 and called in the k9 unit to sniff my car for drugs because I obviously must be a stoner if I have skateboarding stickers.

Not trying to give you a bad time, just what i have learned.

cops havent really bothered me where i live. this is my 5th car and every car ive owned at some point has had window stickers on it of some sort, and the only time I have ever been pulled over was because I was running no plates when i first bought my 318ti. i even had a wastegate dump out of the hood of my civic and never got pulled over.

Slap stickers are just stickers in that uniform rectangular shape. Idk, I really like the look of them. It can seem kinda ricey but I really like how they look. At least its not "built not bought" bs

To each their own. I will admit in high school I thought it would be a good idea to paint my interior red. (it was the cool thing at the time)

I, to this day, regret it. Just as I regret the headliner in my daily now.

One day you will look back at the "slap stickers" and wonder what you were thinking. For now, do as you please, its your car!

Did some stuff today! A buddy of mine and I got rid of the cats. Sounds pretty good, but nowhere near as loud as expected. Definitely interesting.

(Before you ask, yes after the new pipes it is backwards. We figured this out when we went to put it on the car and I noticed the hangers were the wrong way.)

I discovered my radiator is cracked, it is leaking after the top radiator hose ends and the hose clamp is definitely tight. I have a new mishimoto racing radiator, mishimoto silicone radiator hoses, and a new fender on the way.

Also a few days back I put a cone filter and some better brights in. My buddy had them in his garage and the cone filter fit like a glove. I have a plan in the works to get a heat shield and make my own afe style intake. But for now, it should be okay.

Also, enjoy this video of the car running straight off the headers. My dad wasn't too thrilled.

+1 point for that video lol.

haha, love how dad crashes the video.

I also need to come up with a heat shield solution for my car. I look forward to seeing what you come up with whenever you get around to that

Im pretty sure my dad thought i was an idiot for the things i did to cars when I was 16.

Im pretty sure my dad thinks im an idiot for the things i do to cars 16 years later.

Hahaha yeah, my dad has always been supportive of me working on my cars in his garage as long as I clean up after I'm done (which I do). He is always willing to help, and I remember he was very skeptical of me turboing my civic and told me it really would really make a difference. When I finished the car and took him up to about 120 he thought it was the coolest thing and made me give (what seemed like) almost everyone in my family a ride when they came over LOL. Hasn't doubted me since

Did some more stuff!

Got my mishimoto radiator and mishimoto silicone radiator hoses on. I actually did it at school during my car care class, I bet the teacher a 12pk of mountain dew I could have it done by the end of the hour. I now owe him a 12pk of mountain dew. You can see the new radiator stuff in this video and there is an exhaust demo of what the car sounds like without cats.

ALSO:
1. The car is warmed up already
2. I know the right top radiator mount is broken. Have 2 new ones already on the way.

Also, my new fender came in the mail today! Getting that on tomorrow. I'm gonna paint it once it gets warmer outside.

The E36 engines are hard to keep from being raspy. I hear a little rasp on the over-run and my ears tell me the engine isnt in an ideal state of tune. Am i nuts? Or does anybody else hear it too?

I think some of the exhaust was fucking up the mic, its a quiet same volume rasp all the way through irl. You can hear the air/exhaust hitting the mic just barely if you listen closely when im revving.

You can hear the shit hitting the mic in this video better since it was a lot closer to the exhaust.

Do you have some picture of the radiator install?

Not really. Had to get it done in class so I didn't really have a lot of times for pictures. These are the only pictures I do have, though.

Hey all! Got the fender on. I'd say having the black fender looks better than having a fucked up green fender. A nice green fender would look the best, though. I'll be painting it once it gets warmer out.
