      Not really sure yet. One is an M50 with a popped headgasket and the other is an M52 with 138K. I will probably trade the M50 for a G260 then keep the M52 and build it up a bit till my current M50 has 138k. My M50 in my sedan has 100k right now so I really cant justify pulling it out.

              Ya i seriously need to lower that trailer. It sits so high I cant even see out the back :hitler:


              The seats are cheap Recaro SRD replicas. Stock sport seats just didn't have the lateral support I wanted and nice sport seats are only going to get harder to find so I got these for around 300$ shipped.



              They fit very snug in the car.





              Not only were custom brackets needed I also had to do special mounting provisions because its a sedan.


              Im going to be selling them in the next few months though. They are great and excellent buy for the money but I want something just a little bit softer. Probably some Corbeaus.

                This was fun.



                My oil pan appears to be safe though.

                      I pile of semi tie down straps and buckles on the freeway. I could have easily swerved and avoided it but I had a trailer behind me and that would have been catastrophic. Luckily it missed the pan by MMs.

                          Wow!! That shit hit pretty hard. Might be time for a new skid plate though. :)

                                Ya the plate may have gotten a little weaker from bending it back and fourth but I'm right in the middle of another swap so I can't really afford a new plate right now.


                                The wheels are 16x8.5 and 16x9.5 with 215/40 all around. Might be stepping it up to 225 in the back.
