      I can't believe you got that car for $50? Who's the moron that gave that thing away?

      Well, posterity, you will never know what it cost us to preserve your freedom. I only hope that you will make a good use of it. If you do not, I shall repent in heaven that I ever took half the pains to preserve it.

            Taylor told me about the numbers that baby put down Daniel, we need to talk about some things. I'm gonna be picking up a schrick intake manifold in a couple of months from my buddy pretty cheap, and maybe you can port it for me. ;)

                    Oh, just so you all know... I'm not letting the IS feel neglected:



                    Swaped out 3.73 med case Installed small case 4.10 LSD (came out of a 318is with only 55k on it....the 3.73 was freshened up new bearings and seals, LSD tighened up...new shit and transplanted into frankenkar).

                      Maybe I missed it, but what's up with the paint? Are you wet sanding it?

                      Looks great otherwise.

                        The paint on frankenkar car is, well, in a word, fucked.
                        the shiny part is an old partial re-paint.

                        I'm trying to put off the body and paint work...But it's inevitable and imminent.

                            Does Taylor care to share the numbers with the rest of us??

                              It was great... However you must understand that this particular m42 is bored (and dry sleeved) to 2L and was putting 155 to the ground. (I'm de-tuning it a little)

                              On a stock m42 3.73 is not bad at all on the cruse and will get better overall fuel economy but a tad sluggish out of the hole.
