If you can afford to, and have a shop you can trust, have them machine it for your ring type and be free of any worry. There's just a risk of scope creep any time you walk into a machine shop, make sure...

While I am glad to see a car on BAT that is actually "bring a trailer" not "bring an enclosed transporter that cost $3k" I voted for the Mercedes because I wanted you to keep it, not...

That blue S52 car was gorgeous but that sale result must have been super disappointing!



I just flipped through the paperwork on that paint job, they were charging $60/hr for...

Are they that bad in an E30? I used condor UHMW mounts on the engine and their poly mounts on the transmission of my E34 and it's fine as a DD even with the all aluminum twin disc setup. S52, 3L M50 stroker,...

Speak for yourself I'd say the most "ruined" mod I've done to a street car was the F&$#%! squeaky Condor RTABs in my E30, and that wasn't my fault because I was told they wouldn't...

Yeah I hear you, I don't want to cut my car up either. Spal makes a good small cooling fan, I have one that I've been meaning to use to push cold air into the passenger side of the engine bay from behind...

I like the heat shielding, it's similar to what I did with my turbo. My car needs more, or new AC lines, I think the recent leakdown is due to the heat on the service ports....

Not a fan of these youtubers, but I'm even less of a fan of the glut of obnoxious body kitted faux race car builds that dominate today's "car culture". What really drove this home for me was...

As far as I know we did not get diesel E34s here, so it would be an import if it's here.

Doesn't appear to be a major issue, I've seen multiple boosted E36 M3s over the years that make a lot of power. At the top end of what's possible? Sure, it could be a problem. If you're turbocharging...

Oh yeah I forgot, California......

Does the oil feed even fit with that fitting sticking straight out? When I fed my turbo M42 from the back of the head I used a banjo bolt.

[varg]

I would like to see it fixed up since it's quite rare that I see a W201, especially in 16V form. Plus, E30s are getting expensive....

Thanks to rjmcdermott81 I now have a Racing Beat cat back on my FD. Saved me a weekend at least of fabrication and a lot of crawling around fitting pipes up, and it looks and sounds better.
