    I also noticed after I posted that my front toe is negative when I told them to toe in. I'm at least going to take it back and have it toed in.

    Update. Car drives fine, but has a pretty good amount of oversteer with zero toe in rear and slight toe out in front.
    I went by my Indy and asked if they would fix the toe to what I had asked. I did say that I might have accidentally said -toe in, because I was talking - camber at the same time, but still I did say toe in and not toe out. They said they would charge me another $90 to do it. I'm a little unhappy about it but whatever. I'm not paying that again. They seem to have a problem with me bc I always bring my car back if it isn't done just right. Whatever, I'll live with it.

    Off to change my oil.

    Holden's e36 ///m project/maintenance thread

    It's been awhile since I have made any real contribution to the site and must admit that I went a few months without getting on at all after I got married.

    Update on the car.
    I have decided to sell the m. Insurance is just too much and I just don't like it that much for a daily driver (I know...you told me so). I haven't had much luck with my CL ad though.

    Also, the car has been smoking a good bit from burning oil. It consumes about 1L/500 miles so I'm not concerned with the consumption. It just is annoying since the head job is so recent (3/16) and I don't think that is the actual problem.

    Anyways. I have decided to see if I can sell it and if I can't I'll keep it as a track car. After I graduate and start working I am going to be on the hunt for a nice ZHP. I have decided against my long time dream of an e46 m3, but rather a ZHP sedan build. I plan to keep it looking oem but completely overhaul suspension, brakes, diff, and supercharger. It will be a long term project for sure, but I think I will be much more happy with a FI sedan than I would a coupe m3.

    Good to see you back. Congrats on the wedding and happy hunting.

Any 330 with a 3.46 diff will smoke a ZHP every time. The whole Mafia thing reeks of childish behavior." - anonymous E46 fanatic

    Thanks. Unfortunately I won't be hunting until late next year, but when I do I will be searching for my jewel.

    I added an m3 cluster to my long list of desired mods after seeing your pic. I'm guessing that all the programming has been figured out.
