    Drove the 2.7i Coupe down to work today for the first time. Man, I'm loving driving the iX than changing over to the Coupe. With M50 injectors (Thanks DR. JOSH!) and a lightweight flywheel it drives really nicely around the city and open roads out here.

    Havn't driven it on the freeway yet, (It's on Dinan iX springs... SUPER lifted and bouncy.), but man it feels good to be back in my FIRST E30. Brought her back to life.

    When I bought her back last April for 300.00 (Sold my lukebox to a coworker and bought it the same day I found out it was FS) from the kid I sold it to to by my iX, she had a GNARLY knock and was obviously not taken care of. No oil, dirty as all hell. Everything was sticky.

    Now with a "refreshed/rebuilt" M20 2.7i, she's got a new lease on life. That my friends, feels good! Hope you all are having a good week as well!

            Price check on Vagiclean, aisle five. I repeat: price check on Vagiclean, aisle five. That's Vagiclean. We've got a customer down here with a full-on fallopian fungus. I'm baking a loaf of bread and I think it's sourdough.

                Anyone know the history on it? Seems like a nice car. A little rough but its an old car!

                I can't believe someone bought that pile. That was Josh Strohm's car, he is a fucking hack, good luck with it. Check for rust.

                    Breaking in the clutch and hoping to have some dope burnout/donut videos by the beginning of August. I built the car to have fun so that's what I intend to do. Without getting tickes.

                      I just can't quite figure that last part out.
