The motor is still happening but I am not sure if it will be complete for this year .... some stuff has to fall together. There is some cosmetic stuff happening this year and a new diff (shout out to GunMetalGrey).

Sweet. Keep the pics coming!

HEyyyy!!!

I am pretty sure I met you and complimented you on your car at Blackhawk on Aug 20th.

I was one of the Black E30s that rolled down with you and the silver E36 M3 .

This is me (refresher)

I'm looking forward to seeing updates!

Less e30, more e28!

Gunna track the 535IS? Curious to see how bad the body roll is. Even with upgraded shocks and struts they seem to have some decent body roll

He already has, and it looked to move and handle real nicely

SWEET .... We will have to get together for the drive down and pits.

I'd like to track my E28 once I get a better suspension set up. But that won't be for awhile sadly =\

If you just want to attend the classroom sessions, hang out at the track, and take rides with instructors then its only $30 + helmet rental at Blackhawk.

Rather just bring my own helmet, which I've yet to purchase... =\ Idk, i'd have to hit you guy's up. I'd love to get into some autocross/head pe events.
