Straight outta Germany - Vol 2: E36 Touring

[stinkinrich]

Sorry to see the damage man
Really fucks me of when garage workers who are meant to know there way around a car dont understand shit, end of the day its a relatively old car so things are gonna be seized up and necessary precautions need to be taken. But they aren't and things get fucked up and the customer has to pay for it.

Copying this straight from RT:

Just came from the local car workshop, fuckers nearly crashed my car from their alignment rack, spent 3/4 of an hour dicking around because they were too stupid to realize the negative camber is on purpose (they kept saying 'it must be a measuring error with results this extreme') until I explained it to them, then spent 10 minutes trying to get the tie rod loose, which resulted in failure because it was stuck because of rust. Then I saw that the suspension arm bushings are ripped on both sides.

And for that piss, those dipshits wanted 70€ from me. Got into a shouting match with their boss, paid the 70 € because otherwise I wouldn't get my car's paper's back and left like this:




I would've gladly paid them a twenty or so for the ten minutes they actually DID anything, but no, they charged the full hour of fucking around. Dipshits. Choosing a different shop next time I need an alignment.

viel glück

[Dr.AK]

Getting an alignment today. Wish me luck, haha.

[Dr.AK]

Hopefully it's just your alignment that's fucked up.

I'm pretty hopeful.

Had a look around today, doesn't look like anything is bent, at least not visibly bent!

Also, did the brakes.

I understeered into a curb yesterday. FML.

At least I didn't have the BBS on, just some crappy steels.

Wheel fucked, tire probably fucked, car pulls heavily to the right. Haven't had the chance to look underneath yet...

[Dr.AK]

Look what the cat... err, the postman dragged in!

[Dr.AK]

It has arrived! Me Gusta!

[Dr.AK]

Selling them is not an option, anyways.

But I'd love to get another set, so they don't feel lonely

[P78]

tho the ps with the bbs looks tight

i'd keep the wheels u have now

[Dr.AK]

You need a BBS RF exhaust
looks good tho man, about time you swapped the stock system out.

Fuck, yea. A small RF face over the hole on the end.

And yea, finally, lol!

He could rock a BBS steering wheel...no airbag option though! Those Brembos are great, my buddy's got em on his CRX!

Yeah, and that sucks... if I've already got all that fancy crash security stuff, I'd like to keep it. Besides, I love that 4-spoke leather steering wheel I got.
