I saw an E30 that was almost exactly like that. He brought it into the mechanic because it was "floaty". The entire front subframe was disconnected from the car.

Yeah, if you look closely you can see the strut tower poking out. Must've been really hauling rear end.

My friend blew up his Evo X. His timing chain stretched at around 30k miles, resulting in this.

The Rocket Salad posted:The biggest failure of the E30 is those stupid plastic trim rings around the door handles. My friend bought an E30 at work. I pulled up in mine and opened my door and looked down and saw the plastic trim ring broken in half and had a moment of panic before I realized it was his, and not mine.

Not necessarily a mechanical faliure, but a friend doing One Lap of America in their FRS just had a puncture of their floor somehow.

I use a torque wrench every time I put my wheels on, and make sure to check them again after driving them. It's not really worth loving around with.

I have never had an issue with the wheel bolts. It really is not that big of a deal, and if you can't manage to line up 4 or 5 holes on the hub of a car, I don't think you should be working on cars. It's really not a big issue at all.

Isn't running diesels out of gas a generally bad thing? I think my dad told me that a long time ago, but have never really substantiated it.

Cojawfee posted:At least that's not as bad as an issue with the engine of I think the M5. There are ports that run through the entire engine for some sort of emissions thing that eventually fill up with carbon and get clogged. This does't really affect performance but it does pop up a code in the ECU. The only way to clear the code is to take the engine apart and run a pipe cleaner through all the ports to clear them. IIRC this was the E39 M5 and only was an issue if you didn't regularly flog the car.

Crotch Fruit posted:I think Linus does poo poo the wrong way most of the time, but he at least does it the interesting way. Like would you want to watch a dull boring technician at a Mercedes dealer do an engine swap with $10K worth of Snap-On tools and all the Mercedes parts, tools and documentation you could dream of, or would you rather watch Inch Dickman slam a lovely 350 into a 49 Chevy. . . Definitely not the latter.
