I'm assuming my 200hp M3 counts as CR Daily?

x2

Same with the common trend for us normal folk. I made more, got half the return I did last year. Home ownership has no gain to me now, which was a big draw to buying a home for me. This year (2019) im really gonna make out better, I just put an order in for a brand new Snap-On Epiq box at work that will get me pretty close to the standard deduction by itself, plus I'll have paid off my new scanner within the next 8 months, as well as whatever else I will spend on tools.

Looks awesome dude, great work as always My $0.02, leave the turbo intake snout tube as is, with just the tack weld, looks soo sick and shows the craftsmanship that goes into getting that bend

So I kind of forgot i owned this thing for a few weeks. Who is the go to for the aftermarket stuff for these? ECS Tuning, Bimmerworld, where else? Mainly looking for upgraded stuff as well as OE replacement. SS brake hoses, a few gaskets (obviously rockauto or amazon), coilovers (any recommendations?), adjustable sway bar links, etc.

They were super cars for their time, but not supercars. The tech behind them and others was before it’s time. Sequential turbos, active aero, timeless design and a lot of other little things that were neat. Far from a super car, realistically speaking they are heavy pigs that just have a fanboi base beyond what they should. Modding potential really isn’t as great as many seem to believe. You’re pretty limited on what can be done without dumping thousands into an aftermarket standalone ecu. For the 90’s they were great and even into the 2000’s too. Now? Nope. You can go buy a 335i for 1/6 the price and spend $1500 and run circles around the Supra.

That's a nice BMW

Big LOL here Plenty of 10 second rcsb trucks out there with ac, bluetooth and Navi.

I got money on his

Hard pass

I mean it's cool that you gave him the credit though

No need to get heated

Sensitive much? When did I mention names? I mean you literally just said feelings are gonna get hurt, now yours are hurt and you’re saying to stop hurting them, so which is it?

Basically none because the car scene is dying off due to pompous fuckwads.

Isnt hyping this thing up using a car your friend has done more to than you considered being a keyboard warrior? Asking for a friend

I would 100% attend a Kilkare rental if autox was going on.

So who has the best bunion?

CR cares much more about Bunions and Trump than who has a fast car.

Let’s be honest, no real feelings will get hurt, legit 2/73 odds someone’s does.

I’ve got some things squared away and enough miles on it now to get a grip on what it needs. Definitely going to have to do basically every bushing on it, rear diff bushings are loose, while I’m there I’ll just do the rear trailing arm bushing and such. I got all the wind noise and water leak issues I found fixed. Got a few spare minutes at work and changed the oil, fairly surprised at the amount of oil this engine takes. Got the engine cleaned off as much as I could to diagnose some oil leaks. All the fluids need done for sure, the trans feel is garbage so I’m hoping fresh fluid and a new bushing can help resolve that.

So I’m needing some ideas Needing a good rotor and pad for 60% road and 40% track, any ideas from anyone? I’ve been told Napa blanks and carbotexh pads, just not sure how true that is. Same goes with tires, I’m leaning towards having 2 sets of wheels/tires, what are some decent entry level tires for autox and hpde that aren’t insanely sensitive to heat cycling bs?

He said before they listed it they took a lot of camber out of it since the front tires still have some life left, which they do kind of... he didn't say exactly how much they had in it but it did look to me like someone had recently been on a few things that make his story add up. Street driving is fine with it, the sunroof helps a lot with headroom. I can fit comfortably for street driving, but the wheel is a touch too far away from where I would like it. Plan is to get a seat that basically puts my ass on the pavement and maybe get a good harness bar fab'd up by someone who is capable. Kind of where I am with it. It's rough on the edges, but I don't mind getting crafty on some of the little interior and exterior things. I'll grab some vinyl wrap and do the hood and roof, get a better decklid and wrap it to match so it doesn't look terrible and just sort the suspension out as needed, Yeah I was gonna shoot him a message post-holiday and see what he thinks should be done. I visited there once, IIRC he is similar in size to you and I so he should know my struggle. Really just wanting a good seat for me, a harness bar that is made right, and an aftermarket quickly removable wheel to be about 3" closer to me then I'll be fine with it as far as seating position. I'm glad people actually make solid solutions for this platform that will make it a little more plug and play than what I was doing before.

Picked this car up yesterday after putting a deposit down on it this week. Got it for a reasonable price and I've been itching to get into an M3 for a bit so I figured what the heck. It needs some work but it is a good starting point to get into Autocross and HPDE next year. 1995 BMW M3 S52 swap Some form of lowering springs 5 speed It could use some TLC at this point. 250k on the clock and the previous owner tracked it a lot. All the bushings need replaced, mounts and basically anything that moves could use a little love. He had done some weird stuff with the interior I am planning on getting back to stockish condition. I got it on a pretty decent deal since it was overheating on the test drive. I knew it was likely bled incorrectly since those systems are hard to get the air out of, and to the best of my knowledge, S52's are notorious for head gasket issues. I had poor heat and a strong fan pull so I rolled the dice and got lucky. Plans are all new bushings, coilovers or new springs/shocks, new tires, good brakes, tint, maybe wrapping the hood and getting some of the trim reattached and replaced in some spots. Sucks that the paint is past saving on the top side, but the car started life down south and the underside is spotless minus an oil pan leak. I mainly was after the cars handling and balance instead of the looks, although an E36 M3 has always been something I've wanted to own. It is surprisingly quick to me honestly. A few pics to get started, basically as it was when I picked it up. I got the owners manual and a repair book for it, which is nice considering the resources I have at work (mainly alldata) are hit and miss on older stuff.

Ah I don't miss living in cbus and needing 2-3 jobs to be cool. Just get a shitbox Honda and save the gas. You can at least idle the Honda so you don't freeze/burn and use 1/5 the amount of gas a vic would without idling

If you are willing to drive to Enon I can do it. I'll have to charge you something but I'll be fair about it.
