if you *want* an aluminum m52...

Anyone who doesn't want an AluM52 is wrong

LAWL RSMs.

Good thing I replaced white car's shocks and RSMs when I did! These failed about 400 yards after swapping on to red car in place of the MCSs.

My son had our 87 'vert stolen today, from Walnut Creek Rosmoor Safeway parking lot. Delphin vert 5-speed with a hardtop. License 5YBS056. Any sightings or info appreciated.

Whoa that sucks! Walnut Creek Rossmoor? I wouldn't think that would happen over there.

I think I've seen that car around town before, I'll keep an eye out.

Yep, strange event, as WCPD commented. Fingers crossed for some surveillance camera leads.

I've got two sets of black sports seats.
One is a bit weathered but intact black leather that used to be in whee30. Lots of cracks but no major tears. Recliner shocks are dead. (I'd ask $100)

One is awesome condition aftermarket vynil+heated that was going into my black car. Perfect passenger, drivers is in very good shape except some wear on the bolster. Shocks may work, I forget. (I'd ask $200 which is also what I paid)

I can get pics if you're actually interested

Post some pictures
My driver seat has seen better days.

uhm, yikes. are those factory bits?

have you seen the rogue engineering ones? are there any concerns about those aggravating the subframe issues in e36? yanno, "make one part stronger and you've just moved the failure point" kinda thing.

unrelated: hopefully having Tinkerer come over to look at and decide whether he wants to adopt the vert this afternoon.

Run reinforcement plates for the shock towers and everything will be fine.

Put new wheels on my 7. Thoughts?

Front lip and shadowline planned

CHP called today, car was found in Pittsburg. Stereo removed, interior tossed, personal items taken but the BMW is otherwise OK. Stolen on Thursday, recovered on Saturday. Honestly, I'm surprised at the effectiveness of LEOs.

[BlackbirdM3]

The keys were left in the console while he ran into Safeway... supposedly "the only time" my son had ever done that. Theft happened inside of 8 minutes. Quite the lesson. So no ignition issues. And they unplugged rather than cut the stereo wiring. Took a UE Megaboom speaker. Some graduation checks that were inside are missing, but left his yearbook.

This is a vert' that you did the 5-speed swap on earlier...

not to kick you while you're down, but i hope you make him remember this lesson by paying for the replacement stereo.

good news that the car's been recovered. only time i had one stolen, SJPD found it and i think the thief wanted to keep it, as he hadn't taken anything, and had replaced the battery.
