Have you seen this?

oh no......

[Erick]

Those Enkei rims probably weigh more than what he took out of the car.

He's MAKING A ROLLCAGE OUT OF TINKER-TOYS!!!!!!11

[Erick]

Lego FTW

EXTREEEEME weight loss with a generic shitbox meineke muffler. That's rich.

I also really want to see how he lost 200 pounds by taking out carpeting in the car.

Why are khumo tires listed as a mod on the benz?

Because "35% Double Limo Tint" was too big to fit on that small space

If everyone is so down on Project Bugdet Beater, why do you spend so much time reading and replying to his thread?

[Erick]

Entertainment?

Most of us that have been around the e30 "scene" for more than two months can take a look at his list of joke mods and right off the bat tell him that they won't make a damn bit of difference. The fact that his motor dynoed a good 25-30 hp off of what a healthy motor would be making just makes it funnier.

I can't wait to see the "gains" from a generic meineke shitbox muffler and a spraypainted grill.

I took my black kidneys off in favor of stock ones - gain of 2hp - I think it has to do with the coefficient of drag on the smoother chrome surface - at least that is what my Budget Beater butt dyno tells me . . . .

Next thing I am doing is spraying the car in non-stick cooking oil

I thought about that. but dirt will stick to it and make it rough. :D

Its best to use a telflon paint. worked it down to about 5300 grit paper. you can fell the diffrence after 60mph, a hole lot.
