    Well, this weekend did not go as planned but I still had a good time. I intended to participate in a NASA HPDE but I wasn't able to get the car ready in time. Instead I spectated and gathered my plans for next season. On to some pics:

    S54 E36

    Nice Shifter:






    Yeah. A procharged LS1.

    Some rotary rocket ship. This guy was less than 1 second off the Viper's best time which was the fastest car out there in TT.











    These are just a few of the badass vehicles that were there this weekend.

    My hopeful list for the winter:
    -Brake pads/rotors
    -Stainless lines
    -Rebuild calipers
    -Subframe/Trailing Arm/diff bushings
    -New GC camber plates (cosmos ones suck ass)
    -New Starter
    -Gripforce LTW flywheel w/ Stage 2 clutch
    -Replace front timing cover gasket as it has a slight leak
    -CSB again
    -Axels
    -Rear wheel bearings/hubs
    -Motorsport Hardware wheel studs
    -Install water temp/Oil pressure gauges
    -Re-run VC vent tube to catch can, then to intake rather than breather filter
    -Pull E34 harness - wire/install trimmed E36 harness
    -Install M3/is wiring covers
    -New tires for the Fittipaldi's
    -Dye carpet
    -New head unit with bluetooth
    -Cooling fan switch wiring
    -Wire USB ports/phone charger to center console
    -Install Fog lights/aquire lower grille pieces
    -Possibly R134 install/conversion
    -Repair 1 of my semi-F'd ellips so it...works
    -100+ other things that bug me

    There is also a possibility of a power adder in the near future. I need to make sure I have EVERYTHING else in perfect order before I do that, though.

        Bittersweet day, my friends. Sold this car and it's on it's way to it's new home. I'm very sad to see it go, but I'm very pleased it went to a home where I'm sure it will receive all the love it would ever need.

        New project pics coming soon. I'm not done with E30s just yet. ;)
