Seriously, when I saw the post this morning, I was going to drag you behind the truck when you two come down this weekend. Then I was going to put spiders in your tent. Then throw you in the river.
Ol' buddy ;-)

most lifts (at least the ones at the dealership) have locks that will prevent it from falling even if the hydraulics fail. I think they are like every 6 inches or so; seems like it would provide a decent amount of safety but I don't think I would park my M or Viper under another raised car for a long period of time.

bah, Mine has the locks, I've seen them. Once it's up, it's not coming down.

All of that shit is a ticking time bomb on those cars. Oh, and the transmission mounts, replace those too.... and the rear trailing arm bushings if you have time.
Yep. Cobetto's busted the Tstat housing early this year and the tranny mounts are soft and that is the cause of the "money shift" phenomonon early in production.

A month or 2 ago in GRM there is a review of the shifters, and actually a project M3. Pretty interesting stuff

yea, I gave all those issues to my buddy, a shifter is high on his list.

white_2kgt Wrote:what's the problem w/ the radiator and water pump?
Too much plastic. End tanks crack, water pump impeller cracks, t-stat housing cracks......
- WRXtranceformed - 09-05-2005
New shifter bushings and a short shifter should help clean up the slop a bit, I concur.

:?: what worked out? he got the title and tags?
- NaptownE36 - 09-05-2005
Yeah, this process has sucked a big one. MD makes it nearly impossible to buy a car out of state from a private party... especially if you only want to make one trip (and at $200+ a trip, I was only making one!). Temp tags tomorrow, get the inspection done, perm tags Thursday. Life is good.

what was so difficult?

we couldn't get temp tags w/o the title, so we towed the car back from inner jersey city, he didn't turn over the title, so it was overnighted, didn't arrive until saturday, MVA was closed monday, so no tags, no driving M3. Oh and he still has to get a MD inspection, talk about rectal exam...
