the main source that i know of of people bashing the usability of this transmission for this type of application likes to abuse the shit outta their car and stuff it into gear while regularly dropping the clutch. but really Bimmerman, I'd love to hear of a valid source other than the single insinuated individual I mentioned above.
have any tuner shops refused to use that transmission on a 24v e30 swap? none that i've heard of to date.
FYI, i think you price might be a little high though. I think with the current price of aluminum, if you stripped out all the innards you could probably sell one for closer to $30-40. LOL

custom Colorado-Euro plates,
Ya dig?
Who wants one?
here's mine that i'm still trying to decide if i should go with this as is or use my state-issued collector plate number instead of "SPARTACUS" (Euro's name bestowed upon it by the previous owner's daughter when i was signing the title at purchase)...
I'm thinking maybe instead of "CO" on the bottom left i could put "CS" for Colo.Springs, or AU for Aurora, DV for Denver, etc. et cetera
Yes I am going to produce them here at the sign shop where i am wasting my life away at.
reflective 3m laminated vinyl on aluminum, i do no have a stamp so no, no embossing. 4.5"H x 20.5"W
hit me up if your interested in getting down on this rare event. I was thinkin somewhere around a $30+tax/ship ballpark seems market-fair. let me know.

that way i'll just make them all at once. that's if anyone else is down on my EUR-CO plate design and wants in on it while i'm doing it. Let me know if you want something like "FC" for FortCollins instead of the "CO" in the bottom left corner of the prior posted example.
I'm doing 2 one for front and rear, so if anyone else wants to be on board, get in touch with me and we'll start up a list. - once i have mine, I'm probably not going to feel interested in doing this again, so get it while its hot... and available.

these are novelty items people, you put them on your car and get a ticket or have any liabilities whatsoever it's on your own head. don't be stupid.Last edited by LEANE30; 10-28-2010, 03:57 PM.

Lol.... I love how it's automatically a VW thing... I'll toss the idea around but I'm not sure when I'd put it on. I don't have a show car, and it's not road legal

Bishop: you could always put it on for a track day! LOL
Personally its just for the fun of it. ...and it's been so long since i've gotten a ticket, my ticket pile is starting to feel outta date and might need a fresh serving of oppression

Yeah that thought had crossed my mind, but we'll have to see. I'm not exactly raking in the dough right now.
