Yeah, caliper failure is common, especially in Canada with road salt in winter. All it takes is a small hole on the rubber boot and they slowly deteriorate. The slider pins also need to be greased regularly or the whole mechanism starts working like crap. I had a rear caliper fail on my 240SX and a front one on my MSP. Did your mechanic ask you to change both sides? I think it's a typical mechanic scam...my Speed is ready for winter, Toyo Garrits on, rust proof done...can wait for snow drifting....
even if he did i wouldnt have haha i acutally pissed him off a little cause the second he told me i needed one and he started going to price one i called napa myself and got it at the same price they'd sell it to him for... eliminating his chance to upsell it to me haha
An E9x M3 is a bit different than an E36, but they are both amazing machines.

Indeed, different beasts. As you said, great pieces of engineering.
Nobody noticed my big turbo trans eating sunbird in the background lol.

Honestly think I'm going to get the top of the doors wrapped in vinyl for next year....I bought mine with the black part not on( assumng previous owner took them off) so it looks normal to me without them on but the more I look at this one I think I'm going to convert it over next spring
Washed her and took some pic...Man the i phone has bad pic quality...at least the 3g does anyways
Great looking ride, very clean and classy.
FINALLY ordered my SPC Ball joints. I have been working out of town the last three weeks. I'm fairly certain I can install them myself. But just lacking the time. Called the local alignment shop that is highly referred and they can do both sides with an alignment for $205. Which I don't think is a bad deal. May be worth it.
Also getting a rock chip on the windshield sealed by Safelite today, FREE thanks to insurance.
Haven't driven the car in almost a month, and after driving a Chevy 2500 HD totally looking forward to it.

not quite as long as gixx6 but got into mine for the first time in 8 days haha, had a good vacation, chicago was a nice place (i think a couple of you live there, i'll be sure to look you up next time i'm in town) also stopped in missasauga, ON during my 8 hour layover at the toronto airport, finally ended my trip today by driving my rental suburban from halifax, NS here to charlottetown... bad mistake... the beast took $67 in fuel to drive home, plus the cost of the rental, i could have just flown home haha
the rims needed to come off, a fender roll in the rear was done, then the winters went back on haha. i was just so excited when they showed up i just had to put them on.
They are 18x9 +35 with a 235/40 tire.
now my h&r springs need to go in, i need to get some spc ball joints and a stiffer set of struts.
Are those a particular brand of mudflaps? I'm sold, want to get them for my car.
Rally Armor is the brand.
