    Nice! When are you taking it?

    Don't get me started on studying for the PE. Four months disappeared from my life as best as I can tell.

      I remember you barely being able to string together a sentence. It was the best of times, it was the blurst of times.

            Hey norcal dudes, anyone know of a good shop to have my flywheel lightened, and bottom end balanced at? Just heard a horror story about the place I dropped my engine off at, really don't know where to look.
            Jah bless! :pimp:

              TEM Machine here in Napa would likely do a good job. One of the guys there has an E28 as a daily driver. He's a big BMW fan.

                If you're up for making a trip to San Mateo, call Cardelli Motorsports. I've had 2 m20 flywheels lightened in the last year by him ($120 each time and quick turnaround).

                My friends had an s52 head rebuilt by him, as well as a pair of m60 heads. Those took a little longer, but quality work.

                  I'm shooting for the 5th or January since my NCEES code expires on the 7th. There's no minute like the last minute!

                    fixed my e30 this weekend. it's so fun driving it again, it's been almost a month.
                    carpet delete didnt add much noise, i can hear the drive shaft now and i hear more ticking from the m20 but the weight loss is noticeable.
                    Much wow

                            I know Sylvester too. He has a large collection of stuff. Ive found hard to find parts from him since he has so many parts cars
