Gus 5 Report post Posted May 22, 2004 how much is the car for? may just be more sensible to go for one that doesnt have these probs...anyway ill do my best discs (front) are around 125 each pads around 50 for 2?? maybe 4 why do you need a new driveshaft? never heard of that....could be the flex disc...140 engine mounts...dunno but nasty amount of work too..not easily DIY sparkplug leads are sold by the metre...cant remember exact figure but was gonna cost me around 100 to replace all mine keep in mind 320s are hard on gas....is it auto? pre facelift? and current gas prices arent gonna get any cheaper anytime soon...maybe a 318 would be better? and then sell it and get a 325 when you a bit more experienced (no offence intended..but everyone who is learning to drive is crap....i hit a tree) anyway man let us know how it goes...its about time!

speakeasy 0 Report post Posted May 22, 2004 if its been checked out, sweet, but bear in mind the frustration of fixing and replacing original bits n pieces when you really want to be up-grading and modding.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gus 5 Report post Posted May 22, 2004 its true...replacing random bits of trim and sh*t isnt much fun....and there is so many other mint ones out there..however it seems a pretty good price and if you can do work yourself or somehow persuade someone else to do it...actually we will hopefully sort out something with mechanic shortly...its all good...got any pics?
