There is no way all that rust is from one winter. But I do feel your pain. I was forced to drive my car 1 winter. last winter I just rode with my brother to work. this winter it's either motorcycle or bicycle until I pick up a truck.

The average MPGs on a 2500HD Chevy with a Gas 6.0 is 15mpg. A newer durmax gets 15MPG also...But if you are smart and hate all that emissions garbage and get yourself a LB7. THen you would average 18city and 22 hwy. (that is what josh gets). A 7.3DI will get better MPGs than a 6.0, 6.4 or 6.7. Emissions ruins efficiency.

Beautiful car!

The Saigon whore in his profile pic probably bit his nose off.

Finishing my car

Installed some exhaust wrap on the exhaust where it passes underneath he lower control arm and rear axle boot. Trying to prevent cooking the rubber. I used exhaust wrap ($50), 2 4" hose clamps and some aluminum tape (to prevent the wrap from unraveling. We'll see how it turns out. [image: CC8F7397-ABB2-42CE-BC1F-BE424F854CF4\_zps]

Marty over at big bear was not surprised. He joked and said "in all the years i've been doing this, you're probably about the 540th person to have this problem", lol.

CYoung said: Oh man and a complete car too! My brother bought a non-running georgia car for $600 4 years ago up here with no interior, those parts are super expensive! Being that its red/tan and a good price id be surprised if its still around tomorrow afternoon. It was posted 2 weeks ago, but who knows. That's the cheapest I've ever seen one in one piece hahaha.

I need to do a few house projects and then back to my e36 over the winter.  http://www.wibimmers.com/board/index.php?/topic/2092-savin-big-money-project-thread/ 6670charger said: Glad you sold it. Verts seem to be becoming increasingly more unpopular. Hope you got what you wanted, and that the new owner enjoys his new ride. I think they are still pretty popular, it was really fun but I can't have/don't need two summer cars.  I wish I could have kept it.  I actually got a lot of contacts from farther away than I thought I would, Chicago, Minneapolis etc.  And it was only listed on the Madison craigslist.

I thought about removing simply to clean up my engine bay a little bit. I do not have a stewart pump. As of now a stock one works just fine. I'll worry about spending $200 on that pump when my stock metal propeller one can't keep up

that's my 1er in the background  [image: :D]

jc43089 said: Welcome!  Looks great, which poly bushings are you using and how do you like them? I have not driven the car that much since I replaced them.  But I got aka 75d bushings (subframe and diff, stock everywhere else) and they create a little more noise in the cabin when you go over bumps and just the drivetrain in general. I really won't have an opinion till I get some decent road miles and a couple auto crosses under my belt though.

Looks rad man. Great idea.

michael1972 said: Will Bob do the wedge flash and install for 100? I'm not sure, you could ask. Bob charges a flat rate to install this kit. You don't need the ring removal tool though because I gave mine to Bob. He also charges a flat rate to capture your factory flash and replace it with another. I don't think it matters which flash. However, Wedge runs completely on donations. He's a guy just like us, but knows his stuff and spends his time helping people with custom flashes. I'll be sending him $75 for my flash once I get it sorted out. Keep in mind, dyno shops charge around $100/hr for a tune, so $75 is more than reasonable in my opinion.

Where in Kenosha are you? I might be in the market once this kid comes and gets my 318ti... I'm in Kenosha too, send me a PM!

Jeff said: Glad I texted you yesterday Jeff=) Me too I miss the forums work has been busy. We'll work and making stuff Don't worry Jeff This forum is like a creed song. We are always here with arms wide open

Gotcha, after googling it I'm pretty sure I'll stick with my plan of getting 17's down the road. Cheap 18" tires be damned..

KaiserRolls said: Damn. That just looks right. Very nice Thanks! 328ci said: This is exactly why I wanted these, they look so good on an e46. Nice car by the way, always good to see another e46 coupe. Whats the suspension set up? Thanks man. I have solo-werks coil overs. The rears are all the way which I'm not happy about, and the fronts have a ways to go. I would like it to be another quarter inch to half inch lower all around. jc43089 said: Looks awesome! Thanks!
