Hey guys, Id would like to change out my tranny and diff fluid before the track even next weekend, as well as install the exhaust I just picked up. Only problem is I dont have many tools or a jack....and I need the bolts and gaskets for the exhaust.

Can anyone give me a hand with this?

Give Wayne a call, great guy. He recently installed my clutch, RSM's, etc. , can get parts real cheap too. Add to that, he's a BMW Master Tech from back in the ChrisBMW days (now Nalley BMW), so he knows his stuff..678-429-0640.

Tell him I rec'd you to him.. :)

I got your back bro. All you have to do is find the allen sizes you need and I will bring the rest to you. My problem is I have no garage to work in.

Let me know if nothing works out and maybe I can get you in my garage and help on Monday evening.

Well I am a very busy guy but I can squeeze in bits of time here and there. I just have to shuffle my parking lot a little as I have the E36 and the vert. in the garage at the moment. E36 is coming apart for a clutch so I could pull out the vert. and straighten up a little.

I don't know if that question is directed at everyone or someone in particular, so I will answer it anyways.
1. Wash my car and rid it of the evil spawn known as pollen.
2. Find a job, does anyone have any suggestions for a good job for a high school kid, I would prefer something to do with cars.
3. Study for AP Exams.
4. Try and find something to do Saturday night, its prom night, and our prom is seniors only, so a few of my friends are going and I don't know if I will be able to find anything fun to do. :(

What are you looking for?

If OEM it is easy to find, if redline or whatever that can be had locally as well.

You give up to easily.

I know David will charge you over the phone and leave it outside for you to pick up. Maybe you can pay for something and have a friend pick up at Summit ;)

It takes years of practice to be this lazy!

if it was something that I had to do in order to track the car, yeah it would have been done two weeks ago, but its not so....eh, ill do it later.

I know! I don't think people realize how hard it is to be lazy!
I like to refer to it as "efficient" rather than lazy though...

You should be able to find it at any O'reilys, it should be about $10 a quart. I already did mine,you should do the tranny fluid as well if you can...
