    So for those who aren't friends with me on Facebook, which I guess is most of you, for the first time in 4 months my e30 moved on her own power. TJ stopped by and gave me a hand wrapping up the last couple of things. There's still some work to do. The head is still leaking but it doesn't seem as bad, which is my main concern. But it runs, drives, and still breaks loose no problem :)

              It looks even more haggard in person. But it's awesome as shit.

                What did you use to get your steering angle like That?

                  My guess- steering rack spacers.

                                besides the fenders. they aren't necessary though

                                shaving weight = shaving seconds. 

                                glad this thing is rippin' around!!!

                                  Lol i got a few things to wrap up still, which I might get to tonight.  I was going to paint the fenders and hood blue to kind of match the car, but thats more work I dont want to do.  I just want to drive it.

                                          Shes a screamer 0.o   Im debating bringing it to the StanceWI meet on sunday.  So if youre going to that, look for the blue e30 with no fenders and a white hood.
