my new nurburgring whip

[Eric]

Eric, who did the hardware for your wheels?

I got them from black forest industries... I think they are the titanium touch stuff, but I'm not sure

[M-technik-3]

Ah, guess I'll be sending mine to Stuttgart to get mine refinished.

[Eric]

Why Stuttgart? Plenty of people in the states do good work, heck I found the guy that polished the lips after googling for 5 minutes for a local, turns out he does amazing work! If you must go overseas, Roland at feltec does awesome work, and it's just 30 minutes outside spang... free shipping!

[Eric]

This is why I haven't driven the E30 in 5 months

[M-technik-3]

What the heck? That is one ugly strut tube, how did you bend it? lateral loads or was the wheel hitting the strut?

[e30guydownunder]

I'd say that tube has been modified for more camber. Nothing wrong with that. But the bent strut tube certainly is a problem. I'd say that is a minor concern. My car has been off the track going on 7 months now.

Re-Built, Built engine after bearing failure, has been on dyno half a dozen times due to numerous trivial yet troubling problems. Last session all was looking rosey and then a bunch of metal some how found its way through the fuel filter. I am now down one nice CP piston and praying the bore has not been damaged by the severe lean out / piston failure.

Ewww at the strut!

[Eric]

I don't think it was modified for camber, because the other strut in the set is good to go. I acquired these to finish off my AST install in partial trade for my old bilsteins. The dent didn't look as bad in the pictures I received, and Vorshlag said they couldn't repair it. I'm going to take it to a local offroad suspension fab shop and see if they can stick a new 51mm tube on it off a normal E30.

[M-technik-3]

Hope you did not over pay for that

[Eric]

Hope you did not over pay for that

Did it on a trade + cash deal on the H&R's. He definitely got the better deal, but I didn't get robbed.

In other news, AST says that they can fix the strut by putting AST 5100's in them...

[Eric]

The E30 is still broken, so the M5 was put in service again.

Ended up winning the class and PAX time!:up:

[M-technik-3]

Cool good for you, was gonna call Jake as I'm out his way at DM.
