Why ? Just add more fans and you'll be fine.

All I did was read the title, and I knew who it was. I replaced mine almost immediately after getting Eva.

You used to be a Porsche engineer, didn't you?

And I need a fuel pump... Trade?

The previous owner said that he had replaced it not too long ago. And the cold temps caused it to get all leaky on me.

That's alright - I need a new DISA valve.

Polar Vortex claims another water pump.

Good news (for me) is that I'm ordering my struts tomorrow! Both sides!

Good, glad to see you found the money!

Yeah I just had to sell some of the cocaine I had lying around. The things I do for Eva.

Well at least you didn't have to sell yourself.

/$72 for a fucking waterpump

At least that's one of the less expensive parts under the hood... Actually maybe not, since you don't have the quirkiest model/year. But for me, that's a cheap part.

Yeah, could be worse.

I just knew it would be an e36.

Mine blew up on the track a year ago, sending shrapnel through my engine and spewing my coolant all over the track. That was an expensive tow.

Oh no! I'm guessing you don't own an e36 anymore....

Oh yes I do, and I love it to death. Been in the family since I was a kid.

Awesome! You should share her (or him?) with us in the form of words and pictures!

Crappy potato picture, but it's a 1993 320i sedan (built 11/1992) with the M50B20 engine. Enough power to have fun, but by no means fast.

It's stock except for for a lightweight flywheel and Z3 shifter. I'm looking for a wrecked 328i so I can swap over the interior, engine, and wheels (since the available tires for the stock 15s are crap). I can't afford an M3 engine since I'm a poor student living off the savings from his old job flipping burgers.

I've taken good care of it since it came into my care and it's repaid me by never leaving me completely stranded. I'll hold on to it until the body finally gives out (which will be soon, sadly, being an Ontario car).

It's my first car and without it there's no way I'd be a car guy. The bloodied knuckles and late nights wrenching and have always been worth it when I get to hear the sweet sound of the straight six the next morning.

I love her and wouldn't have anything else, so she really needs a name but in the two years I've had her I haven't thought of anything I like. Thanks for asking!

Water pumps are the devil.

My E36 thinks its a VW and really hates its coolant.

Nice car! I have the angels too (just came with the headlights I had to buy) but have them hooked up to my fog light switch and have only turned them on to check that they work. My fogs are nonexistent for now. Kept breaking them.

Can't count how many sets of fogs I broke on my E36 over the years LOL

Thank you! I perused through the pictures of yours and saw the much nicer, rather more expensive headlights. I needed new lights because mine were yellow and near useless. Mine came with angels as well and I'm pretty partial to the look.

One of my fog lights was cracked so I did the same thing as you and wired it up to the fog switch. Issue was Canadian cars come hardwired for DRLs which meant the angels were almost invisible- but that's nothing a soldering iron didn't fix. Methinks I'll be replacing the fogs with some deletes , except not for $36.

Thanks for the share!

I've gon through a complete set and the OGs were broke when I replaced them.

You bought Angel Eyes! You ricer poser bastard!

Yeah yeah yeah, and it's even the ricey-lookin' version with the mirror casings. I wanted black. Oh well. Wouldn't have needed to buy them if I could see anything with the stock lights... Soon as someone offers me German OEM lights with the glass, I'm in...

Hey, don't you have angel eyes too???

ddavidn > Z_Stig 01/08/2014 at 22:59

Haha, I just figured it was easier and better to put covers in. I broke three.

Yes, I like the deletes a lot. Much better looking than always having broken fog lights. Though I still managed to pop one out and leave it in a parking lot somewhere. But replacing a $5 piece of plastic is much easier than a $40 fog light.

I actually like your headlights a lot better than mine.

Z_Stig > ddavidn 01/08/2014 at 23:10

It is. Now you know why E92 M3s had no fog lights...haha

I ended up grabbing a couple off wrecked but they're a bit discolored. The car had the cold weather package and I regret not grabbing the diff as well...

I used to have clear corners until one of them fell out, somehow without ripping the wiring. Not a huge loss because I bought them for something like $15 but I've been meaning to replace them.

I considered clear corners, but ultimately decided to keep the car as stock as I could where money and availability of parts would allow. Previous owner didn't seem to give a crap, hence my white trim pieces and the exhaust it came with (literally just the worst exhaust ever)
