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

[DCColegrove]

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...

[BMWLA]

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).

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

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.

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.

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]

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

And weld up some strut braces...

What kind of a business idea is that then?
Your time done researching the product and making the jigs and what not and that´s the profit margin per unit?

Yes in a nutshell...

14 when I got my airframe & Power-plant ticket from DOT/FAA...

I was 16 when I when I received my AS from a community college...

BA from UCSB at 19... Took me until I was 30 to actually complete my Masters though.

Started working as a non-degreed engineer at 21...

However...

I'm pretty sure that all the drinking and drugs 'till I was 26 knocked my IQ down to low average...

he must be going for volume

Nope... It's an obsession.

Like balancing a ball bearing on a razor blade...

Nearly impossible...

Pointless...

But you just know you can achieve perfection...

Like chasing that first high... If you know what I mean.

I don't do e30 work for the money...

But I wouldn't do it for free either... At least not on your car.
