Sweet! Yeah it's super cool man, some nights are a lot better than others but it's definitely always a good time, and all of the regulars/drivers are super friendly.

I wanna get into driving as well, just waiting for the cash flow/job that will allow me to do it.

Yeah dude I just don't wanna go out and break my car. Haha and unfortunately there is nowhere to really practice how to drift without someone calling the cops at least where I'm at.

My suto shop teacher at high school as an alpine e28 535is. Pretty sure it has over 300k miles on it and he dd's it.

The m30's are sexy engines. <3

Your auto teacher and I must have the same car. I love mine and I haven't seen one just like it yet. Cardinal red interior and is apron and spoiler. Looks so good all oem

[mbonanni]

I'm not sure he has cardinal interior though. Pretty sure he is running Alpina wheels on it. He switches it up betwren those bbs and hartge's

Sure there is, its called autocrossing, only there you learn how to drive and not hit things.

I honestly don't know why anyone would want to go drifting unless they had way more $ than sense. Its a good way to destroy a car very quickly. Seriously when was the last time you saw an amateur drift car that wasn't beaten to hell? I know a couple guys who drift pretty well, but their cars are a wreck. Who wants to drive around in a car that is missing body panels with the rest of them looking like a pissed off ex girlfriend went after the car with a baseball bat?

I respect the skill of doing it right and not hitting things. The trouble is, you need very deep pockets and no emotional attachment to all the cars you will destroy in learning how to do it well.

What's a 150k m42 worth? Eric said $500 but I think that's kinda a lot high... Idk I want second opinions. And yes I have searched and saw some Gd threads but I want a local price not an overall price

Plus the 240 tranny

[golde30]

Getrag 240 I couldn't give away. But I have seen them sell for $100. Not a huge market. I would start at $500 for the whole setup and work from there.

Danny, this is not an acceptable time to be awake.

Depends on if Vivek's motor is blown. If it is, I agreed to do my swap and sell him the engine. Otherwise I'll pm Danny.

Yeah I don't see a big following for the 240, but they are nice in that they bolt straight up to a 24v swap. No dealing with twisting the selector rod or different trans mounts, and no changing out the diff.

Drifting is fun, though I think the style and "lifestyle" are lame as hell. If you want to do it at an autox, don't hit too many cones and if you spin out more than once, just drive normally for the rest of the run so as not to waste everyone's time.

I have seen a few amateur "drift" cars that I thought were pretty nice, but most are beat to shit. Autox cars, on the other hand... Lots of really nice ones.

M20's for life

[kronus]

I tore into the M3 this weekend. It is such a pile. New rotors, pads, sensors are on. Headliner replaced. Driver's seat replaced. KDW2's ready to go on. Manual conversion on the way. Suspension on the way.

It leaks every fluid, and I can't tell where the leaks are coming from because everything's covered with stupid plastic. Who's familiar with places S52s leak oil from?

they leak at the tensioner, front cover/ profile gaskets, valve cover and and of course it's an auto so all that crap leaks and the PS leaks and the oil filter housing. but hell your are a bmw genius so u know all this already.

[oliver.r]
