UdubBadger's "WEGOHAM" Build Thread

So I didn't realize ATE Super Blue is illegal now??? Guys at a shop troubleshooting my creeks and rattle noise were stunned to see it into back seat.

Haha I bought a few right before it went out.

Yeah....we've been talking about it for a short minute on the site....hehe.

Well the shop would t service my brakes till they drained it. Lame.

Also found the source of the noises, $1100 fix to redo the camber plate bushings and the strut bearings.

Great

I give you credit man...and your wife credit. Glad she is supporting you getting it fixed up because I know I would have said f*** it a long time ago...and then realized I wouldn't want to take the financial hit and fix it in the end. You probably already had this internal debate. The only problem is it will be hard to leave once you know you have a solid car. Making the switch might bring a new project unless under warranty and even then it could still be an inconvenience (see Guy's thread).

I still need to look into the subframe repair. No issues yet after a check, but I'd rather fix now than pay for it later.

We should implement a holiday on ZHPMafia to remember the members who've saved a car from death and distasteful/neglectful/shitty previous owners.

Hahahaha yeah for sure. Fools BMW day!

I hear ya man but it's more of a situation of I'm so deep into the car financially of be fucked trying to sell it so I'd lose either way. If I sell for $20-22k I am losing about $10k in maintenance and such. If I keep the tab keeps going up but it seems smarter to drop another $1100 than lose $10k if I can keep it 3-4 years and have low cost over that period I can then sell and have made a bigger chuck of that back as I pay it off.

She's a good car, almost went to Audi a few times out of frustration but the thought of me not in an M or even a BMW felt too foreign (pun intended).

bump...I had some work done and looking forward to how it sounds. If it doesn't increase the volume enough for me I'll be looking into what you had done. Need vids in the next two weeks so I can decide what I want to do :thumbsup
