    yes. for the most part. the cars are not elevated so if you need something that requires car to be pulled, you ask and they pull of either same day, or by next day

    HEADS UP

    LKQ in Blue Island has a 50% off sale on the 4th. Not many late model cars, but a few m52, m50, and m30 cars.

    I must have seen you then. I pulled the M52 head, but turns out it was a rebuilt M50 with one temp port plugged. I also got some other goodies. Plus I had some dude pay me and a buddy $50 to pull a sentra motor.

    Was that you with the A-frame and batt powered impact ? I saw you for sure. It was brutal out there. 105* on the obc when I got in the car.

    I need an m50 head if you want to sell it...

    Yep. I was there with a friend of mine. I must have had a dozen people come up to me. Which one were you? Are you looking for the head as is, or rebuilt?

    I didn't come up to you, just walked by looking for the white 525.

    I need a VANOS head, if you have someone who rebuilds them, that would be cool. PM me with your price !

    I just got my e-mail from picknpull for the 33% off, but they haven't had an e34 in some time now. Good for you e36ers

    Cool, I am looking for any 3 series 96 and up.
    In the meantime. I was able to confirm 50% Tuesdays at Circus. Anyone went there recently for BMW selection?

    710 e Green st. bensenville. Their BMW selection is poor though. It is a hit or miss. I had to pass on it unfortunately. Did anyone go?

    I dont like victory... they over price on parts, plus they made a "new lot"... which is more expensive and you see there e39 and e38 there now. I thought it was 100 bux you pay and get anything u can carry?
