      Those pictures look nice for a poster or instagram, but are terrible for auction pictures.

        If the bra will peel off make note of that on BAT. I think most buyers will assume the car is going to need paintwork to remove the graphics.
        ^^^ This ^^^ you should post that info.
        I fully assumed it would require sanding and paintwork.
        I think thats critical info in helping the sale.

          Sorry, I thought everyone knew about how clear bras work. I've had them on several cars, so I just took it for granted. I took your guys' advice, and put a post in the comment section of the listing. Hopefully that will "clear" it up.

            i hope the buyer hits the dyno for us. i'd love to see what a metric mechanic 2.5 S14 puts down. why are we not discussing that engine, r3v? i kinda have a boner about it.

            you're a solid dude for helping friends like this; good luck with the sale.

            Metric Mechanic claims 255hp in their literature. I have a receipt in Chuck's folders for 3 Dyno pulls. But I don't have the results anywhere. I suspect he has them electronically on his computer somewhere. I just didn't poke around that much in the computer.

                Yah I was just looking for photos from a dyno day several years back that an M3 with a MM 2.5 had just been installed. I remember the owner was less than pleased with the results.

                  If it's the car I'm thinking of, it made 5 more WHP than my tired 300k mile M50 (172 vs 177whp)

                    I think so, and that sounds about right. I have the video of it on the dyno, but not the board with the results.

                      I loved this car until I saw the rear valence photos. Damn cancer. Wonder how bad the battery box is.

                      This probably would have fetched at least 12K, but not with the rust. At least in my opinion.

                          Shoot, my PRO3 only laid down 135/135.

                          So don’t feel too bad.
