My name is Earl, and I have a Stainless Steel bolt fetish =)

forced air propane torpedo heater aimed under the car. Works great for me.

[Earl]

Will this keep from getting too hot to actually burn other things? lol

[KaiserRolls]

Start it on fire earl.

Make sure they don't get powder in the balljoint area lol.

Could you use a space heater? Like a propane one?

[Earl]

I'm assuming I could. There is a heater in the garage but the doors fit like ass and it isn't insulated. A floor heater of some sort is my best bet I guess=) 

Rampelsauce is doing the coating so I am sure he is aware of that. Dave had his done and I haven't seen a picture of it thrown across his garage yet=P lol

I have yet to burn anything with the torpedo heater, unless you count the air hose laying on top of the heater and bursting.

My subframe has zero areas that couldn't be coated as it was the rear subframe and the mount are separate. Doesn't hurt to mention it to him. 

[Earl]

I forgot it was a rear you had done=P

I have had front control arms powder coated and they used some special greenish clear tape to mask the ID where the ball joint presses in.

Hang some plastic sheeting to seal it and crank a propane heater. No excuses.

That was what I was thinking=)

Ive done the plastic wrap for heating a garage before and it works really well. I used a convection propane heater that looks like this and it was way better than a torpedo:

Either way, I bet they are both hot and salty if you lick them.

Donde esta el CHODE

in Far Cry 4, the game devs programmed enemies and civilians to use 'chode' quite often, its pretty hilariously.

Still chugging along slowly but surely.

This afternoon I will be dropping my brake line fittings off for plating so I should be able to get the front brake setup all done shortly after I get them back. 

In other news I picked up a part I have been wanting for quite some time. 

I apologize for the potato quality lighting (and for not replacing my damaged HVAC panel before showing this haha)

In an effort to make things as simple and clean as possible (most aesthetically) I removed the head unit in favor of controlling the speaker system in a different way. More on that once I actually start the wiring. 

Speaking of wiring, can someone help me find the amp wiring diagram for a premium sound compact? It looks like all other e36's use a similar but slightly different amp.

[patsbimmer1]

@Earl that's a 10 speaker system right?

[Earl]

Yup=)   (tweeter and speaker in each door, speaker in each foot well, and then two small speakers with two larger ones in the back)

[patsbimmer1]

I have a wiring diagram I just need to figure out how to get it from it's secured form to something I can send you that's readable.

[Earl]

That's awesome! Thank you Pat

Also, screw purchasing from Panjo. I bought a set of brand new oem grilles that a guy had sitting and he hasn't responded to anything since I bought them over a week ago. I also emailed Panjo to get a hold of him and they haven't even responded to me. Such a joke
