I got a random call from a Miami number and it was Otto. Apparently he met OG R3Ver Gary Ruffin, who lives in his neck of the woods, and he gave him my number. Tiz a small world indeed...

Thanks gents- it has felt good to lean into this car a bit more vs holding out for the next one. I may or may not have ordered an E30M GC kit on black friday for it.

Jake found a way to...

You need to figure out if you have central locking or not before buying a lock set.

Easiest way is to open the fuel door and see if you have a black grommet on the lower left side of the...

A trip to the dyno is never without incident. The car wasn't making power and the graph was indicating an ignition or timing issue despite everything being new. I swapped the injectors with new 19# genuine...

The patina look I'm all for, but once it transitioned from that to a farm and implement painted smashed quarter it started to bug me a LOT.

I wish I had the budget for a full respray- he's...

TLDR:

1) hoopty might be one color soon, m3 has shiny rollers that'll eventually end up on hoopty with 5 lug conversion

2) I need E30 M3 ackerman arms if you have a set you'd...

Glad you got it sorted!...

Hey R3V-

I wanted to list this shell on here for those who don't have FB. It would make a great foundation for a track shell. The front fenders have never been off the car. Paint is decent....
