    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.

              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.

                    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

                        Spence, I think a dude named Sylvester in the SFV area of LA might.

                        Super cool guy with a milli E30s in his backyard.

                        He posts regularly on LA Craigslist.

                            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
