    Matt, get my car out of your sig

    Bwahahaha.


    That's right, I bought the turbo E30 of impending doom. Before you kill me, it's in good hands. My name is Dave, my father and I are BMW addicts and motorsports enthuiasts. I'm the current PA state champion for SCCA solo 2 in STX. I got my dad hooked on racing, he got me hooked on BMWs. I've raced in civics, integras, STi's, GTi's, etc, owned a supercharged E36 M3, a '95 M3, a '93 325is race car but I keep coming back to the E30. It's an addiction. The turbo car will share the garage with:

    1990 M3 Race Car
    1990 M3 Race Car (no, that's not a typo)
    1990 M3 Dailey
    1988 M5 Dailey
    2004 X3 Mommobile

    Right now I'm trying to sort a few of it's issues out. Get the locks working, fix a bunch of nagging mechanical stuff, etc. Long term plans are:

    Tec3r
    Ball bearing turbo
    LSD
    Build the head + billet rocker arms

    It should be a fun project. And I can't wait to see what Matt builds next.

    PS, so far I've found 9 cocnut scented air fresheners in Matt's car. What gives???

                  I, on the other hand, despise the things. Any other places you can remind cramming the things? I found two stuffed inside the dash behind the stereo.

                  Oh yeah, and do you have any idea why the high beams are dead? I'm thinking it's the relay cause the blue light on the dash doesn't come on. I figured out what's up with the locks too, it's a combination of the alarm and the driver's side lock cylinder being loose. BTW, where is the alarm so I can rip that stupid fucker out?

                  I plan to stick around here, I'll do a picture post soon to show off the ///M collection.

                    The high beam thing happened RIGHT before I sold the car, I really am not 100% on that. Glad you figured out the lock thing though, that was a pain in ym ass. The alarm is mounted above the ABS [I think that's what it is] computer on the driver's side.

                    Please post pics soon!

                          i pissed myself in the back seat while spooning with jparkr2004 while james was driving.

                          How does that make you feel?


                          and matt has a weird fetish with coconut. i think its because coconuts have inner beauty, and matt has outer beauty, both of the same tint and hue. It seems he strives for completeness in all areas of life, not just his car.
