What the hell, not just you. Check out the YouTube thread in off topic! It's all down.
Hopefully it's site based and not YouTube following in Photobucket footsteps.No E30 ClubOriginally posted by MrBurgundyAnyways, mustangs are gay and mini vans are faster than your car, you just have to deal with that.

And thanks! Unfortunately I'm waiting on a new ECM. Apparently if you turn the car on with the ground to a Devil's Own methanol controller disconnected, it will shoot battery voltage out the signal wire.... Directly to the ecm.
Toasted. Oh well, found another. Gotta finish up the exhaust, install the axles, and it will be back on the ground. Then when the new ECM comes in, install, flash, and drive!No E30 ClubOriginally posted by MrBurgundyAnyways, mustangs are gay and mini vans are faster than your car, you just have to deal with that.

Amazing thread, I just went through the whole thing. I love these cars but like many am afraid of them.
I had a 2000 A3 in Mexico, where the warranty is 1 year and things started breaking at 6000 miles and 13 months. After the 10th coil pack I paid almost 150 for I traded it in.

Thanks sir!
Knocked a few more tenths off that log above, should be a solid 500+awhp at this point.
Tonight I got a surprise when I got a bit of wheel spin in 2nd gear. Was NOT expecting it, but a good reminder to respect this thing. I never thought I'd get an awd car to where it will lose traction after 1st.

Random encounter with a stock b8.5 S4 today. Guy was cool, BS'd at the next light a bit. At first he wanted a second run but when I told him about the car he said nevermind lol!

If the guy has documents to back it up, I'd say that's a good price! Paid 8k for my bone stock car 3 years ago with maintenance records.
Throw some injectors in there with a tune and it's a 400whp car. E85 and you are closing in on 500whp. (Wouldn't push it too much on e85 with stock rods though).
To me, the real value in these cars is that you can have a 600whp ride that you wouldn't be embarrassed to take a lady to a nice dinner date in. Also, keep in mine I'm pretty close if not at 600whp and the only drivetrain modifications I've done are forged rods, mounts, and clutch.No E30 ClubOriginally posted by MrBurgundyAnyways, mustangs are gay and mini vans are faster than your car, you just have to deal with that.
