Im excited to announce my most recent project. As you may know I parted out a 95 m3 this past summer.

I enjoyed it so much I made a website to sell parts off of. I plan on getting a few new parts cars in to sell off of. 

In the meantime check out my site!

I put some stuff in my cart to buy and the checkout process won't let me log in to paypal.  I tested my info straight on the paypal site and it isn't the problem.  Something about sandbox etc.  Let me know and I can try it again.

Nicely done! I've thought about doing the same but I tend to hoard...

I have not, but I plan on listing my E24 on there this spring.

Well this is fucking stupid... 2019 Ford Ranger will require the LF wheel removed in order to access the oil filter.

A service procedure obtained by TTAC states that, after removing the left front wheel, a technician or owner must then remove an access panel secured by nine push-pin retainers. From there, one removes the filter with an end cap tool. To actually drain the oil, which of course you’ll accomplish before attacking that filter, you’ll first need to unbolt the power steering control module underbody shield. Four bolts hold that on.

Good Gerb Ferd. Maybe you can just ask the O.B.O.S. to remove it?

although i agree car makers should make things easier to fix, rather than more difficult - removing a wheel and fender liner sounds better than crawling under the car and doing a reach-around with hot exhaust manifolds and such. i do not miss oil changes on my m20 e30.  we are pretty spoiled with our BMW top access filter housings.

You got that right. I was explaining why I DIY all my oil changes to some of my domestic-owner friends, who were complaining about what a PITA it is to change the oil on their cars. All I said was "my filter is on top of the engine, and it takes me about ten minutes..." They didn't want to talk to me much after that.

Customer will still expect it to be done in 15min

And that's probably the biggest issue.

Just bought some nankangs... hopefully they will help me survive the winter unlike the Michelin pss that came on my car. Anyone else run these? I saw a couple people run them as daily tires when I searched the forum
