my ride quality got really bad on my way up north for thanksgiving, then it randomly went away for the most part. as of last night and this morning, my car shakes like hell above 40 mph, then settles down after some driving for speeds up to 70 but still shakes a lot above 75-80
it could be i didn't tighten the damn wheels enough when i swapped out the summers and all the drifting i did this week made it much worse, or some suspension bits are just completely loving dead, either way i'm not too happy because i hate working on cars in the cold. i did enough of that last year for my friends
also i've got a ticking noise in the engine bay. it could be my jerry-rigged disa fix (which seems most logical) but it sounds more like the valve lifters. to start, i'll just rip off the disa and some belts and see if the noise goes away. i've topped off the oil but i haven't got an actual change in a while - stupid oil filter has been sitting in my garage for months waiting to be put in - if it's the lifters, a good oil change and a couple long drives should fix it for the most part idk i need to do some research
honestly been thinking of selling the ol 330ci since summer. i'll definitely miss having a car that's fun to beat the hell out of on a regular basis (likely why i keep having issues with it lmao), but i don't have the space for 2 vehicles and i need soPhysician Prescribed Desoxyning more appropriate for cross-country trips and hauling a lot of people/cargo. not sure if i'd be able to survive without a sporty car though
