    That car was being parted out, correct? Is it missing a lot of pieces? Is that one going to be NA or boosted? I saw pictures of the car pre-damage and it looked amazing. I love those euro front turn signals

    Sorry I missed this a while ago! Yes the car was parted out, all the unique euro pieces are gone, Brian bought the interior, etc. Basically I have a shell with a complete drivetrain. I have enough extra parts from my first e28 that I can at least make something out of it until I can re-euro it.

    Looking to stay N/A for now but who knows where it'll go in the future as I hopefully just want . Megasquirt seems like a great option too. I'll start a separate thread for it once I can actually start doing some work!! I'm very eager for spring so I can work on my E28's, I miss driving the be28ter :(. Plan for the summer is to get the 528i running so I can drive at meets/etc and then put down the 528e once Zach and I get into a shop.

      Very cool! I would love to see an NA M30 on megasquirt.

      I have a 4.10 188mm ring and pinion that should fit if you find yourself itching for some acceleration

        I'm itching for acceleration. And I'm debating on switching to MegaSquirt II, so I can eventually go turbo. But I'm staying N/a for now. Gotta get more low before I get more go fast goodies!

            Thanks but no thanks! I love the eta for daily driving. It's so much fun having all that low end torque and I wouldn't give up the 36+ mpg on the highway either.

                Really not THAT impressive. I'll get 30mpg on the highway if I'm not trying to keep up with Chris' ass on the highway. Cock sucker speeds all the time

                                    On the highway, I ALWAYS set it at exactly 10 over. Never get pulled over. Well not in the last two years.

                                        I've come to the decision that I'm parking the car until I start the rebuild. With the starter currently frozen and needing to do the timing belt, its more work than its worth just to daily it for a bit until I find a workspace. So here she sits awaiting  :mellow:

                                        post-2724-0-90412500-1365438264thumb.jp

                                        Might put a little time into the Euro and see if I can get that running so I can at least have something to show up to meets with over the summer. Might be starting a build thread on that this week if I can get some welding done!
