How's the 02? Looks gorgeous in your sig...I also need a new rear bumper on the e34 at some point, you're still at the body shop ya?

I generally use snapchat to post all the stuff I would never share on other media, which is why I don't particularly like being called out on some of it in more permanent forms.

Thanks Will! I'll keep you in mind. Testing compression tomorrow and ordering parts soon.




I made the boys to the yard joke on Instagram... Haha! I would drive it, but I don't want to risk causing anymore damage.
Rollin' in the 88' K car for the time being


Anyways. My motor is temporarily poop, but my interior won't be.


Spent the day sewing. I'm somewhat happy with the results.

Wow, those seats look sweet! Nice work.

You whippersnappers with your fancy social medias.

Fun story: I was waitlisted for a CNC class at stanford, and only got in because whatshisname dropped out to found snapchat. I think he made out better on that trade. It's amazing how much it's changed since seeing the prototype in the lab.

on topic-- no one has posted any meets in a while, but both cars are broken so...le sigh.

Toodaloo (I wanna say Andrei?), those seats look incredible!

David, why are your cars broken

LBV do you hotbox your helmet

[Bimmerman325i]

body shop killed white car battery, so had to bump start to get to work.

mcs are being rebuilt so I have el rando 'this isn't leaking oil yet' suspension on the car, and the driveshaft is whining and begging to be put out of its misery.

S38s are not cheap to rebuild. That guy is smoking crack on price.

You got it, thanks man! I'll be posting my process in my build thread once I edit the photos. Most likely Sunday or Monday after work I'll be completing the backrest portion of the seat!


Ran a compression test today. 170-177psi across the board with a Snap-on compression tester. Needless to say the numbers are higher than I had expected!

so true. the only good part about that car would be the engine/trans.
maybe 2k for it would be more "guys buy this"

[mbonanni]

There's a free m30b34 with 5 spd in the free section of sacramento craigslist.

Someone buy that vert and drop this in it.

[wilholl]

the thing's got a 4.10 torsen and it's pretty lightened... even a stock m20 would be a lot of fun.

oh. i apologize for bein' a smartass.

No worries!!
Just trying to decide if I want to keep playin with the bronzit or get a different e30.
Also, me and the wife do miss the vert.

Toodaloo, nice cloth!!
Gonna be sweet interior!

[decay]

I thought about that myself. M30 + light vert + suspension + 4.10 = CARB-approved hoonmobile.

I'm moving tomorrow and probably coming back next weekend to tow it to storage.

If any of you guys are selling these parts let me know:
2.93 LSD (Rebuilt or low miles)
Swap driveshaft (zf tranny)
e38 style 5s 16" (possible fill and drill?)

I have a set of e38 style 5 16" they aren't filled and drilled though.

[CarsonE30]

Well, my friend decided to literally give me that 750il. Time to roach the fuck out of it and make it a driving middle finger to society.

Build your own Gristle Hammer. Why did you sell your wagon!?

Edit: I was on 101N just south of SFO yesterday around 3pm and saw a flat black late model coupe, lowered on CCW Classic reps with wheel studs. Looks like the car used to be red. Anyone on here?
