The Random E46/ZHP Question Thread

[Vas]

Another random question for yous. I know some of you are avid FCP Euro customers. I just wanted to know which method you use to ship your used stuff back to them? I know many of the guys on this forumare from the eastcoast, so shipping, or literally dropping the stuff off at their office is simple. I am in Seattle, WA, and i have been looking at my options for sending my used oil back. So far, it seems like i am paying almost the same price to send the oil back, as I would be receiving in refund. Would appreciate any insight here, since honestly I don't have much shipping experience.

You can use the UPS or FedEx option they have on their website to calculate cost to ship and time in transit ( most likely 5 days via Ground Shipping ). Otherwise the only other option is USPS and using a Flat Rate Box since that is a set cost to any state in the United States.

I been using the warranty on oil change kits for a while now. Usually costs me $12 to ship back the kit from Virginia to FCP using UPS Ground.

we got an OEM one for the 135 when we were in Jersey... no complaints... fit like a glove. Even had pockets for the mirrors and shark fin

Peterman actually gave me a cover with my car. If I can find it you’re welcome to have it. It’s not OEM but it fits.

If I can find it being the important part.

So I've got this loud hum? that comes from under the car around 68-72mph, peaking at 70. It's not a high pitch whine, but sounds like engine/drivetrain noise. Just grows in volume at one speed then goes away when you get away from 70. It only does it when lightly accelerating. No noise when letting off at 80mph and dropping through the zone. It started after I installed a used 3.38 diff and I thought it was an exhaust leak becoming apparent at a certain rpm, but I tested it in 5th and 6th to confirm that it's road speed related, not engine. Gear wear?
