    The $500 track car (bring on the love?)

    Got this 87 325is in April for $500 (it was stock at that point). I didn't do much cosmetically so hopefully you won't find too much to rant about ;-)

          You should have seen it when I got it. You would have thought I got it from a garbage dump. It took a LOT of waxing. It was more pink then the eta when I got it

          The interior was covered in, well, I don't even know what the hell was in there.

          I replaced everything in the suspension and did a major tune-up. It has 260k miles, but runs awesome.

              nice dyno

              I thought I got a deal with my $200 1986 325es. Nice find.

              What mods have you done for power?

                With that dyno, just a Dinan chip (vintage chip, haha, it was made in like '92).

                I put on a single 2.5" stainless exhaust with long tube headers, Magnaflow cat, and Borla muffler, for some serious weight savings. Doubt there's any power increase though. Props to JoelK for advice on the install!

                          FUCK. I can see them fine. Oddly enough my webmail server took a shit this morning as well. Wonder why I can clear my cookies and still see the pics afterwords?

                          I was on the hold for tech support for StartLogic (my host) for over an hour, nobody picked up. If you want a bit of advice, don't buy web hosting through startlogic. No answers through their ticket system, no phone service, no email service.

                          Can anyone see my webpage?


                          What a coincidence, my one year since I signed up was up yesterday, my account was set to automatically renew, it shows a pending payment, and now my shit is down

                          Fucking idiots.
