Haha awesome pics. It would be for the e21 so it would be solely for le dorifto. Plus e21 LSD's go for 500-600 bucks.... So that's a lot out of the question.

[Ian Bowers]

shit...what happens in something like that on a track? Are you guys both just gonna take care of it yourselves, or do people argue about who's fault it is, who should be paying whom, etc?

My car was the only one that suffered any damage, he's not helping me at all, even though he was at fault (and he admitted it). I generally don't tandem with people I don't trust, but shit happens.

[Ian Bowers]

i see you sir ian.

dude, that video is so cool! I had no idea what he was holding when I was tandeming with julian, it threw me off hardcore. Was funny as hell when I realized it.

cheap place to get a diff welded?

Trust me, you don't want a welded diff. You also don't want a locker. Ask me how I know. If you want a drift car, go buy something that is already totaled and start there. You will destroy the E21. Go buy a POS Mustang and throw that away. Start with a car you get from the junkyard, and when you destroy it, take it back. Don't wreck a decent car.

Driving a car with a locked diff or for that matter a locker diff, is a little irritating on the street, especially making your way through a parking lot. The back end will hop, or clack, or both. In the rain, don't even bother unless you are willing to end up in a ditch or something immovable.

If you have a vehicle that can make it down to Marina next Sunday, you should come autoXing with me. I'm planning on running the roadster. If you don't, I might be able to pack the car with enough room for you to go in the roadster (bring headphones and a jacket, its not going to be quiet or warm.)

Anyone have the tool for the windshield lockstrip or have an easy way to do it without it?!

[JinormusJ]

RUFFLZ is one sexy mofo

[decay]

yeah, i saw a nice black E21 in Oakland today. made me want to get one and put my M42 in it. don't ruin one of those; get a nissan S12 or something.

i also found "gramps" at the emeryville marina.

Eric or Oliver you got to have a tool!

[Cabriolet]

I dont. i would wait for a warm day and the install it.


Nearly finished Todd's M20 today. gonna get a start for the first time in like 4 years on that car, the end of this week.

Is that the general attitude then? I'm assuming no insurance will cover track usage, and no one's gonna want to fork over 5-10k or more cash if they fuck up someone's car on the track. What bout people with cars worth 100k+, are they going out there with the risk that they could lose their car with no compensation?

[BlackbirdM3]

I'll take it. I was sort of looking for an E9 before I bought the M3. Had the right one come up, I'd be driving one rather than the M3

That car has a lot of potential.
