Bravo Sir, you make Michigan Tech engineers proud.

[pharow]

Man, this was the best read i have had in a while, and i subcribe to three magazines. You should be knighted. Sir Wh33lhop! hip hip hooray!

[MR E30 325is]

Excellent build!

[elemenohpee]

Wow, this thread really makes me appreciate having a garage. Great job!

[castros]

Great thread man.

[Wh33lhop]

Once again, I'm glad people are getting a kick out of this thread. It's been a hoot building this car and a blast driving it every day. The last few months have been uneventful, the two main changes since my last update are:

(yes I know, ghetto fan mounting, but it's better than through-the-rad mounting)

and finally some real seats! JUST put these in today, they're faded and they don't match the leatherette rear seat but I really don't give two shits, they were cheap and they blow the comfort seats out of the water.



After my last update (and the Mishimoto) it made its way up to northern washington for the picnic and back (about 2300 miles total), the proof's here with James, Josh and Clay's cars (looks a little out of place, especially with Danny's wheels, lol)

everyone should be required to subscribe to this thread.

good to meet you at the picnic, nate.

Yo! I remember lots of people from the picnic and I remember someone telling me this was their handle on r3v, but I can't remember who it was! Which were you?

Orange wheels? :o

If I come to Santa Barbara can I drive your car? :D

I mounted my fan the same way because the zip tie style mounts fucked up my last radiator too. :)

I really need a shroud to be able to feel that I did it right, but it hasn't come close to overheating (except for when it's facing uphill, ugh).

If I come to Santa Barbara can I drive your car? :D

Sure, if I can fuck your girlfriend.

Taking the bus to work on your car.
Removing a trans in a parking lot.
Working in the street--at night.

These give me a headache just reading about them, but I couldn't stop until I'd read the whole gd thread.

Kudos to you sir.

Now get rid of those orange wheels asap.

[Danny]

Now get rid of those orange wheels asap.

:rofl:

I'm driving my s50 around on bottlecaps right now.
