So a buddy of mine bought a VW GTI with a Golf "R" engine swapped in. Apparently he's having difficulty getting the car registered due to emissions reasons. Are there any low-key car friendly shops around for swapped vehicles and such?
Feel free to PM if you'd rather not be advertising such information...

Registering it in a free county might be easier

I'm guessing you mean it has a CEL because of the swap, right? If that's the case all he has to do is register the vehicle as normal but on the document where it says "County kept in" he picks any county other than Kenosha, Milwaukee, Ozaukee, Racine, Sheboygan, Washington or Waukesha. It's that simple. I've been doing this for years with no issue.

Finally getting some motivation to do some things. Nothing BMW related sadly.
Machined this neat little brass piece for the bridge on my bass to replace the incorrect part that has been there since I bought it like 7 years ago.
I found an old 1980s CCTV security camera at work that had an interesting looking lens on it. 50mm f1.4 made by Fuji. So, I decided to make an adapter for it. It's a c-mount lens, which has a shorter flange-to-sensor than micro 4/3. They make adapters, but the diameter of this lens is to large to fit, so long story short, it's a macro lens now. Worked out pretty well.
Neat.

Pretty cool!

@patsbimmer1 “Mike, are you driving right now?”
“No, I’m in the passenger seat. Riding around in the rolls. Eric’s driving”
@patsbimmer1 “Bockhaus?”
*turns video call camera towards me*
”Sup Pat”
@patsbimmer1 “Eric, what the fuck? I expect a full write up on WIBIMMERS”

When google doesn't know, at least we have GT5:
Esto no está bien.
Been considering buying a "nice" DD (ie something that costs more that $3k). I've always been mildly fond of the C30, thought maybe I could abide another FWD, but... yikes.
i love my t5 v50 (same p1 platform). its pretty fast for a non-sporty car. with 500lbs less (c30) it'd be a hoot. add a $700 tune for 50hp and youd be in fun land.

My wife had one for a while. I really liked it. It was a blast for what it is and with the seats folded down in the back it was very spacious.
The only drawbacks I felt it had was it was pretty bad in the snow even with snow tires and the doors are like a mile long. My wife and I are 5.5’ and if we sat in the car and the door was all the way open we’d have a hard time reaching the handle to close it lol
Also, at least IMO, the interiors haven’t aged that great. The center consoles are a neat concept, but if you get a base model, they’re very plasticy

Did you guys know that @patsbimmer1 is a Bear's fan? He also thinks Soldier Field is a better looking stadium than Lambeau.
Can't believe I work with this guy.
