E30 R&D... I need my head examined...

[Farbin Kaiber]

There is no reason to waste the money at UTI, unless you want a dealer tech job. That's what I'm sayin.

[kishg]

So you have a community college "degree" in auto mechanics and trying to re-engineer the E30? hahahaha

I don't necessarily buy all the "engineering" behind these products but that was uncalled for. he obviously has experience working on these cars which buys him some credibility in my book.

[Farbin Kaiber]

Yeah, we had an area vocation school behind my HS and I took a semester of that joke. None of the students in there or I know at Ivy Tech, Wyotech, etc. should be BSing miracle engineering solutions...

Usually, they are the guys doing burnouts in stock, failed axle 1989 Acura Integras with donut spares.

Hey, that degree is just like going to UTI, but without quite as much tuition. And, in most cases, they have it at local High School's or Adult School locations. You can even test in for all your A series ASE tests afterwards.

how about a deal on the front and the x?

I might at some point...

The trouble is that there is so little wiggle room in the price...

All of the "stuff" is hand fabricated and hand TIG welded on a fixture from all top of the line materials...

Not mass produced stamp steel stuff...

We know... It's expensive... But I'm sure nobody knows that we make very little money doing this...

Actually if I sold you an X brace, I'd make almost but not quite enough to take my kids to McDonald's (not that I'd let them eat that shit).

well if you quit will you have a group buy on all your stuff? ;)

My head is too hard to quit...

But there are deals on the new stuff in the GB section anyway...

No bad blood makes it past me. ;)

I was just curious. Not a big deal.

[DCColegrove]

Nah, I saw that. You don't have to post it here for everyone to see.

But as one of the top 5 sellers of BMW software in the US right now (I would guess I'm third behind Turner and AA) I would think you might be willing to let me in on the secret. :)

I shot you a PM...

It's not like anyone here would know (he's involved with another car make) but spreading bad blood around has always come back to bite me.

On the bright side...

We might be making some motion on an answer to Sparco's harness bar and the new rear brace is workin' out superbly...

Who?

hmmm... Must have missed the "(who shall remain nameless here)"...

[matt]

This is why:



In 2005 I went into a venture with someone (who shall remain nameless here) to develop new software for BMWs.

Who?
