WTB: BMW M42 cylinder head, must be in good condition with a receipt for a recent pressure test. Ready to buy ASAP. Ideally local in the East Bay, but I am willing to travel up to 100 miles.

Thanks

Thanks everyone! I know it's been taking a long time, but $ and time have become a lot less abundant in my life haha. With that being said I'm still able to squeeze things in my budget.

I never thought this day would come.
make sure you get an alignment asap. u will shred your new tires otherwise

Got a lifetime alignment with Firestone for $180.

After we installed everything toe out in the front was ludicrous lmao, once I got the sheet from my tech friend at Firestone I wasn't surprised. -0.25 toe on pass side and -0.13 on drivers. It chirped all the way home and sent any bits of gravel all along the side of my car.


As for the rf's, I have some tires being shipped to bmw, installation will be free, thankfully I have some really awesome friends here in Vegas.




And I was in napa like a week ago and I was able to bring the puppies home.

The Lake District, England. Yes, I know it's slightly blurry but I did my best without a tripod.

Its not blurry at all, its damn impressive for handheld. Nice shot. I'm guessing you shot that about 1/30 or so?

Well done.

Placed it on a rock. Went for an HDR image at first but the slight movement between each picture messed it up too much for my liking.

Trying to be a cool guy Lololol. Plus I wanna get some spacers and I'm new to tire fitment. I was gonna go 205/50/15, depending on how this looks/goes I might get some proper size next time.

A friend of mine is trying to convince me to split the wheels up so we can polish the lips. I'm not sure what to do but I told him I wanna have the wheels with tires mounted within the next two weeks.... We agreed it might be smarter because we don't know how the hold air as is, and he's never had issues with his two sets of hre's that he split apart to relip, or our buddies gottis. Not sure if my wheels would look better with a high polish lip.

Here's some pics of my friends e30 we did the gottis on.






And my other friends car with the hre's, he's got two sets one will go on his e36 m that we're prepping for drift.

So I pulled the head on my vert today, piston 1 is destroyed. I knew something was bad when I saw the timing belt wasnt broken, and the tensioner had no spring on it. Now the whole motor has to come out ):

I did a little test fit of my style 5's on the junker vert.

[2mAn]

you shouldve given the cirrus bumper caps to Wh33lhop too!

[mbonanni]

I offered. He didn't want them.

[Cabriolet]

they dont fit on his car. the arches on the vert are late model.
