Good to see some weight #'s. Ill get mine on the scales this summer as well.

I'm in Ottawa, so I'd be down for a road trip to meet up with you guys at some point this summer.

Exactly what I was thinking Chris... :) I want to see your car too man! Would be pretty cool to meet... I predict some good times ahead this summer.

Really?? If you want to make some money do NOT use my work and my car as advertisement. Just start you own post with your progress.

These spacers are nothing to do with me they where sourced from Sweden Mr High and Mighty, I thought it may help others out looking to go down the same road.

The reason for no thread of my own is that I'm not slotting an m62 into an e30.

1- I like you calling me Mr. High and Mighty, finally some respect.
2- Saying "sorry to hijack" and then doing it anyway is like saying "No offense, but you're a waffleswaffleswaffleswaffles".
Maybe asking me (PM is your friend), " hey, I bought my adapters, mind if I share/post/whatever?" Then, being Mighty as I am, I would go... "Yes sure, go ahead, I don't care".
Have we all lost the manners? You think I am pissed because now I won't sell TWO adapter plates?? NOPE! I am busy enough at work with other projects, my own M3 is very low on my priority list and, unfortunately, the adapter even lower... Manners sir, fucking manners

Amazing car, you don't actually winter drive it in mtl though right!?

[Yorl]

Nooooopes!!!

[jalopi]

On unrelated news, how's the quattro coming along?

[Yorl]

We sent the shell to powdercoat, all the fabrication is finished. Ohlins done, APs done, sequential transmission, coolers.... Now I'm strapping the engine to the dyno, and when we get the car back, put it all back together, re-wire it and go!!

[jalopi]

holy shit man, wtf, i don't even know what to say about that

on the one hand, it's pretty cool that the owner decided to actually use the car for what it was designed for...

but on the other hand, my head hurts knowing that someone'd rally-car-up something that used to be so clean/flawless

just out of curiosity, why'd they have it powdercoated? all the powdercoating i've seen is pretty durable, but not quite rally durable. i'd figure he'd want the bottom of the chassis/shell epoxied or something
