What's up all. I am new to this forum (referred by quite a few members) and have owned many cars in my lifetime:

 

1988 Volkswagen Fox with a custom exhaust, and swapped the 4 speed for a 5 speed manual

1992 Audi 100S

1984 318i

1980 733i with 49k original miles on it, ran it to 120k and sold it for the same price that I bought it for...HA!

I grew up near and on the race track(Mainly Road America) as my dad would head there at least twice a year for PCA events, and started autocrossing right when I turned 16 with my his track prepped 1970 Porsche 911T.

I am pretty competitive in SCCA Solo, and hope to get out to Mid-Ohio for some track events this summer.

So my family has always been into racing and autocrossing, and we typically try to compete at events together (good male bonding). My dad is 63 yrs old, and can still throw a 2000 C5 FRC around the track, as well as his 911.

This is my dad being smart taking a picture while doing 140

Myself, brother, and Dad's Bimmer collection:

So, I now spend most of my free time either, buying tools for the M, researching my next DIY project, spending hours on the forums (including this one now), and helping guys fix any type of car that they drive (usually a Bimmer) Or fixing/maintaining my own :D

 

I have owned my M for almost 2 years, and still have yet to pay a mechanic any work that has been done to the car, as I thoroughly enjoy working on cars.

 

M3 is mainly stock, because I run a stock class in autocross. I just recently installed a new catback exhaust that sounds pretty mean.

I mainly joined here to chat with other folks about the same passion I have for cars, and I would basically consider myself a Motorsports Junkie always looking for my next fix!

 

Any questions, give me a shout :thumbup:

Welcome to cr & awesome intro!!!!

 

What year is your EK? I have been helping my friend this week put on ASR Rear sway, rear brace, and skunk 2 PRO C coilovers, rear camber kit, lower control arms, and upper control arms on his 97 3 door Civic. He's eventually wants to run Honda Challenge, but for now is running autocross. We were trying to get done before first event this Saturday. He has one corner left, as he sheared a bolt while disassembling and still needs to drill it out. :doh:

 

Sorry for crappy phone pics:
