    Thanks guys, old yes, but still young at heart. ;) Oh you were talking about Spencer... another senior moment damn it.

    Today we took a journey to an old friend that has moved on to E36's and E39's. Go figure... He wanted more space in his garage so I bought all of his E30/E34 stash. Brain and I loaded down the 540 with about 20 DME's, 9 clusters, and a bunch of E34 parts. Next weekend we have to go back with the 3/4 ton truck. :D There are about 10 more bins of E30 parts, 3 manual transmissions, 3 or 4 diffs, 4 heads two new Chinese front high back seats, and even some Euro goodies. The HUGE Ironman E30 Garage Sale is about to begin.

    Cheers,

    Jim

      Or I'd go with plan B and roll the car off a cliff.
      Does plan B give me full coverage and enough money to buy an M3 or M6?

      Been learning. Didn't know anything about the car when I first got it. Now I can tear it down and put it back together. Haven't messed with any internals engine wise d03.

        Don't use a Dremel either, just get a hand file and slowly make the hole bigger. You will surely fuck it up with power tools

          Did that with a hand file last time and it wasn't really affective.

              Glad you like them Travis. I prefer the one on glossy paper but for the garage the bond paper/lower resolution one might work. Shoot me an email or PM once you decide.

                      so piping + labor + flange + vband + hangars + resonator + muffler

                      In labor, easily. Plus the cost of everything else. Buying it already made is cheapest, good choice.

                        Jim, Shant will buy all of the heads! (Of course)

                        My buddy Josh is about to be searching for a 260 trans too.

                        We'll have to talk details on the goodies!

                          I think I have a couple heads here as well but not sure if Shant would want them too. I should have showed them to him when he was here last weekend. I have a two tranys for Josh to choose from depending on how much he wants to spend. Sounds like the makins of an E30 parts party.

                                Ok, I just felt super old when someone abreviated TFTI? I know YOLOs and FISH but I never that one before. Do any of you know what that means?
