Trying to catch Mike riding dirty

[e30edward]

wow since he got rid of his rusted hood and roof rack.
now nobody has anything to say about his car.
so now they go after his stance.

car looks great. don't be so nit picky people.

[Jand3rson]

Alright guys, I think that will do for now.

Sorry dude, you don't know what goes in to lowering e28s. I can confidently say, that to my knowledge (and several others) I have the second lowest daily driven e28 out there, next to Austin's car which is a balls-to-the-wall setup compared to mine.
The car's rear fenders are cut lower. Don't like it? Tough.
The car already has positive rake-


My car sitting remotely level and having a bit more gap up front is a higher priority than looking like a damn drag funny car.

In any case, I'm about to drop another $600ish into lowering the car another inch. Perhaps a little more rake, but don't talk out of your ass. I may not know track bullshit like some on here, but I know about three things very well-
Wheels
Tires
Low.




Try a little harder to rip on something because you have an elitist attitude, think you're the shit because you have a track car, and shit on every thread I make, and then you might "get it".

Oh wait...



Let's see your car's "stance" if you want to talk the talk.
Post up or shut up.

Yeah, that's an excuse. I don't care if it IS even if it doesn't LOOK even. They're coilovers right?

Fix it.

So let me get this right, if my son and I "tear off his bumper strips", bust out his "sidemarkers", knock a few "dents" in ths side of his e28, and then throw on some wheels worth more than the car he will then be "unique" and we will get "it"?

Sweet . . .

Bah, ride height. I'm talking stance here. It isn't just winding your coilovers all the way down at each corner and hoping for the best. Dude's car is super close to sitting perfect, but right now it looks like he's got bags of gravel in the trunk.

Wait a sec,
By your logic, this car is lowered wrong then?

Functionally, no. Aestetically, yes.

Who in the heck are you to gauge aesthetics? You are being crass for no reason at all.

I have been seeing this car pop up all over the forum lately with varying degrees of the overfilled-trunk rear bias "oh it's ok because my fenders are low" nonsense. If you are going to build a car to whore on the internet for digital cool points, at least get it to sit right.

Any car that is lowered more than an inch and a half will look like that. I could probably search through this site and find hundreds of cars with rear wheel tuck, race and street. What do you say to them?

With the exception of race/autocross specific vehicles, I would still say they don't know how to build a visually complete car, either.

Dude, for 5k I'll tattoo it on my ass.

Well your a woman then ;)

The trunk of loaded with I think 3 wheels w/ tires. 4 light stands, a box of hot lights, camera bag and a bag of clothes. So yah... gravel in the trunk?

Oh no elitist track-whores and stance judges!!

I'd say Mike's car is pretty even.. My e34 has roughly the same amount of tuck F/R and it's too "raked" IMO

Jonathan! Damn you to hell!

Bro, you ain't a pro race driver. And yea, having someone bleed brakes for you is pretty weak.

Stick to your metrosexual (cough) photography.

-Charlie

I am not.

Hey Charlie, I want to give you 5000 to spend on anything you want on your car. You have to put www.hp-photo.net on both sides of your car in large letters. Want to do it?

Honestly Charlie, He is anything but Metro. If someone he trusts preps his car, what's the problem??? My best friend works on my cars for me all the time. In fact, he is driving one as we speak. Does that make me a woman?

JB, your car is set up wrong. I can tell by the wheel tuck in the back. FIX IT or I will be forced to get pushy via the internet. ;)

Yes. You are a woman.

When are we gonna hang out again? In a non gay manner.

I only judge him by his BFC posts. Which are pretty gay.



I know too many shop monkeys. Frankly, for me, half the fun of being a car guy is tearing the shit apart, not just driving it.

-Charlie

What did I post that was 'gay'? You mean I joke around with friends? I don't take the forum world quite as serious as you do? I posted that I got a HANS Device? I post pictures that I take?

I trust the shop. When Global BMW couldn't fix a Dinan S3 M5 it went to my sponsors shop.

[Mtriple]

Crazy thing... Don't race yet. I run HPDE's and instruct at local events. The car is built for NASA GTS3 and BMWCCA IP. It is a matter of having the time to put into the racing. I hope to gather more sponsors when I am actually racing ;) Having a shop name on the side of my car and how often it is seen though has helped the shop. Even if it is just an 'HPDE' car.

My bad, I got the impression that you raced or something...

[delatlanta1281]

Agreed.
I don't cheat on teh R3vs anymore so I can't say how he is on BF.C. But he's really cool in person (where have I heard that b4???)
I don't know how "prepped" his car actually is, but, I know guys who do tag team Race prepped cars to save time and money. They also switch driving duties as well.
All of this probably doesn't matter however, I really doubt the OP plans on tracking this e28... I seriously doubt it would pass p-lot inspections.

I'm just here for the gangbang and threadshitting.

[Charlie]

Seriously? So every driver in every pro series is a woman? When I have an event I drop my car off. The shop checks it over, replaces parts, bleeds brakes, installs pads(that come from a sponsor) and I go have fun. How does that make me a woman? My radiator neck broke off at an event... I went into my tow rig grabbed a fresh radiator(oh yah it was free) and installed it. I know how and can work on my own rig.
