 |
|
I'm looking for a honest reliable mechanic or someone that works on e30s on the side. I'm pretty mechanically inclined, but i just dont have the tools to get some of the major jobs done.
I'm looking for someone to take a look at my car and help diagnose a few issues.
Shoot me a PM if you know of someone.
Appreciate it
Peter |

If you go out to the coast, Neil is at DTM. They are in Oceanside. I would highly recomend anything involving Neil and an e30.

i have some sort of suspension issue at the moment. It's either my front wheels are bent or i have a bent control arm. The car just shakes massively and don't have a spare tire to test whether the wheels are bent.
The other day i took it in to my tire guy for an alignment and balance; the passenger inner tie rod was disconnected from the rack. The rubber boot was the only thing holding the tie rod.
Also dealing with vaccuum leaks causing a CEL during idle.
Everyone has been soo helpful so far. I'm thankful for all of the PMs and responses so far. |
