[mazur]

Fuckin’ bravo on the post. Completely free of teaser crap.

Here’s the shit –
Here’s some other shit –
and here’s all the shit in one piece..

proper.. Nice. Thank you.

The best part came out of the m3 – and now it’s being put to even better use.

Cheers !

Haha, thanks. I remember when I first joined this forum I thought to myself, "WTF is up with all this teaser bull shit!? Show me the goddamn pics!"

Awesome, you sir are living one of my dreams, untill I can get a track worthy car I will just view pics and watch the videos, I need to convince my girl to give up the e36 so I can yank the engine hehe.

Kick ass car man.Did you swap the e36 suspension into the e30?

No...that was my original plan...mainly because I would be able to keep the GC coilovers I had, kick ass M3 brakes, and wheels because of 5-lug.

But after some research it didn't seem like it'd be the best thing for suspension geometry which I care to have to be as good as I can get it.

I got $2k for my brakes and coilovers from my M3 so it's all good.

First time will always be somewhat scary....but the feeling of being out on the road course for the very first time is priceless and it's awesome fun.

I better see both your asses at an event soon now that it's cool out. Don't worry about wrecking...DE1 is probably 3x safer than driving on the streets, lol.

And no, your tires won't be bald and brakes pads worn after one weekend. :)

its not like i don't have other e30s i can track... i just want to jam the m3 around a track, without going into a wall or curb, lol. when and where are the events?

[325Projectz]

No I'm a waffleswaffleswaffleswaffleswaffles, but THAT picture makes me want to track it.

That's Patrick's, his car has an S54. :/

When we swap the M50 for an S50... maybe I'll give Richard some competition, but he's no doubt a better driver than me.

come pick your damn engine up and take it to a machine shop! then bring it back.

if you track the coupe i'll track the m3. if you track the 325 i'll track the 318, 323, or 325, haha :finger:

kick ass man you gotta love those e30's with modern m power.

Damn to the E36. What did your friend have to say about it?

[dj2xrated]

sweet. what did your friend have to say.. exact words, if possible.

i dont know what i would do, being out in te desert, no one around, car crashed, me being angry, dead snakes along with live snakes. and a friend who just crashed my m3.(a scene from the movie 300 just flashed through my head...AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!! !)

[mazur]

I was actually kind of calm about it, especially because I didn't get hurt. A lot of the cliffs over there are deadly and pretty high. When I saw we were falling into something shallow I didn't feel much fear when we started going down and rolling over. At least a dozen people have died out there...probably most being motorcycle riders.

I don't remember what he had to say.

It didn't really hit me till the next day when I got really pissed off about what had happened.



He's paying me back for some of it. From what I recouped from parting the car + what he's giving me comes out to about the price the car was worth...that's not including me keeping the engine. So it came out fairly well I think.


Here's a pretty cool video of the first half of Tortilla Flat...

No insurance?

No insurance?

A year earlier I curbed it pretty bad, and insurance totalled it. They gave me $13,000. Bought the car back for $3,000 and fixed it myself for about $3,000. (Fixing included some suspension mods, new wheels, and some sick tires;))

Yah, that car had gone through some shit. Real sad too since it was mint before I curbed it, but I guess that didn't matter since it went off a cliff. Knowing is was a salvage title car made it a lot easier on me when it rolled. I don't know what I would have done if it wasn't.

Sweet car man. I can't imagine driving an E30 with that kind of power. Nice work

To tell you the truth, it feels no faster than my M3 now (which it obviously is significantly quicker). You just get used to it.

I think 400rwhp would be enough to satisfy me. Just waiting for funds.
