Is it sold?

I am so confused.

Even I've thought about it from time to time, I bought my GTT for 11k. If I went and dropped a second hand motor in the thing I could palm it off for what now days seems to be double what I originally paid for. Then sell the rest of the parts I have lying around and go buy a c63, m series or 370. Hell even go find a buck80 shell and drop the built motor in that for lulz.

One can only wish for an insane person like yourself or myself to buy an incomplete project!

Would love a 335i F30 or even M3/4 F80 but yeah money doesn't grow on trees and I don't even have a job at the moment :D (my position got made redundant, so did 50 others).

I didn't wanna bring it up as I'm sure it is a shit thing to talk about.

Taking some time before you hunt for work again?

Doing the reno yourself? Man of many talents. 

Everything but the tiling, didn't want to buy more tools and cook up job lol

I only do everything myself because I can't afford some sex spec business to come do it for me, so I DIY lol

I like to try and do as much as I can, but there are some jobs I don't attempt.

I put tiling in that basket, but a mate of mine had a go using youtube clips when he did his bathroom and I have to say it came up as good as I'd expect a tradie to do. 

I've got kitchen/bathroom/laundry to do in this place and I'm considering outsourcing the whole lot lol

 

Haha mate house plumbing is easier than plumbing up cars, especially with the PEX stuff!

Electrical is a piece of piss too, you need to be massively retarded to cook up house wiring!

But yeah I would have preferred to outsource the lot, but I'm an Asian and I'm a tight arse.

Cabinets were all custom ordered and cut to my dimensions then flag packed. Picking them up next week, will be a good surprise lol

Oh that stuff I do, that's not a reno though. I just see that stuff as basic maintenance work and I do all that. First year apprentice work for a tradie. When I was helping my mate put in our new ducted ac/heater he told me I would make a good TA lo f**k him :D

I was more talking bench tops, cabinets, tiling etc but the flat pack is a good idea.

Wait till it comes, haven't bought the washing machine yet, but will be German and throw check machine lights lol

Dad bought a Bosch front loader washing machine, it died after 5 years (electronics). The LG one I bought is still going hard after 5 years. Heavy use (6 people in the house).

Samsung 7kg front loader here, we've had it 8yrs so far, 6 of which has been with kids... 

I have replaced one water valve (leaking) and I suspect the shocks that hold the barrel are getting tired.

    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go.
