    I'm Rich and I live by the NW side

     

     

    here's a few pics of my 97 M3. it's got a few mods on it but nothing crazy yet. It's a really fun car to drive

    I'm in autocrossing and tracking.

    mods iunclude

    Koni shocks, bigger front bar, bigger intake manifold, catback exhaust as well as other small things here and there. It s done 128k miles and runs like an absolute champ....

     

    In an ideal world, this car will have a 302 crammed underhood....or an LS7. we'll see once it becomes a dedicated track rat

     

     

     

    don't mind the teeth. I don't Om Nom Nom you (on the streets at least).....

  7. anybody recommend a good car mechanic?

    in Dumpster

    Posted

    So, yeah. My first car has developed a few issues I'd like to get fixed, but I don't know of any mechanics that are decent. Dont want to randomly pick out of the phone book.

    CV joints are clicking, so need them replaced.

    Power steering is out.

    don t take your car to anybody else than ZB Lorenc... Sigmatec Automotive in Hilliard

    very fair and dirt cheap and very knowledgeable

  11. Got backed into...kinda onto, need advice.

    the best bodyshop in all of Ohio is located right around the corner from Iron Pony: AchBach...........they are one of they very places that can repair aluminum bonded frames and they do high end stuff........... The owner is also very cool

    it s overkill but hey, it is the best...trust me. They don t have a banner or a website... I dare to come look at my roommate's subaru and be able to tell it s been resprayed

    ..

    it was just an anecdote buddy by denoting the 748 has no cats. I m more worried about my car if E15 were to pass. BMW says E10 is OK for the S52B32 motor in my car per that fuel-tester website and I'm sure it was designed to be compliant with the cats

    in any event, I meant to note my car because the difference in MPG will be bigger (percentage-wise because the base mileage is smaller))

    EPA is 17/25/20 MPG for my M3 and I've been returning 23-25mpg per tank so I wanna see the percent increase in my mileage..... My car's computer (tank range displayed on computer screen) tells me it should be getting 440miles per tank but I get about 380 in reality.

    My duc has been 39-45mpg so it would be nice to see the difference too but that's not my prerogative in this study
