have you looked hard enough to realize they look terrible?

looking at it as a tool for bad weather

[IronJoe]

Finally tearing into my motor. Anybody know what sort of tool I can use to depress BMW valve springs?

[TobyB]

Just buy an X3. Then you won't give a damn if it gets ran into..

...and I can pick up work as a hairdresser, too!

Hey guys. Ever seen a three piece clutch before? I think it would be a hot seller.

[MortyCrock]

looks super fancy... must be one of those "euro" cars.

Sounds about right. Lol. This was a low miles Sachs unit out of my track car. I threw another stock one in, but I doubt it'll last very long. Time to upgrade to a grip force or something of the like.

I'm getting jealous of all these guys in Portland and can't wait until the picnic... =)

Dicks Drive-In meets will kick back on once the weather gets better. Or we can opt for a sit down joint like Red Robins.

Anyone got a pair of e30 Ate front brake calipers in the greater Portland area? They will be rebuilt, so don't have to be in great shape.

Anyone have any brilliant front fenders lying around? I'd pay 300 for the pair in OK shape. A brilliant rear bumper is needed as well, 200?

What engine is in your track car again? Is it your S52?

I'm going turbo on my track car this year, and haven't done anything to the clutch. So Id guess it won't last too long.

S52/G260 and a stock clutch for now. I've always ran stock clutches with this setup and always had good luck, until now. I got about 100k out of my last one and it still had quite a bit of life left at the end of it all. Don't know if I would trust running more than 250hp through a stock one, though. S50/52 are right on the cusp, which is why a lot of folk go with a heavy duty or aftermarket unit.
