    Valley pan gasket is $300. I am going to wait to see if I want to keep the motor or not. It isn't hard to tear it all down.

      ?? not sure where you are looking. genuine BMW valley pan is $72. Febi brand is $57. taking the old pan off and scraping the old gasket and using a tube of permatex is like $5

        I don't know either? I just looked again and you are right.

        But where I am now I will have all my parts by Friday so this weekend I am pushing hard to fire her up and burn some tires. A little coolant leak won't hurt (didn't appear to be leaking anyway) until I dyno the motor and make sure she is up to snuff.

          ECU was sent to the wrong address so I am battling that right now. Also, the engine harness I was sent was not the one I purchased so that is fun. 

          Definitely frustrating when I have the motivation, but not the parts. 

          Anyone know of any good painters that do work on the side? Looking to get some IS skirts and get a paint job over the winter.

            Also need to title the car still.

            Anyone have experience with registering as a collector/classic?

            Thinking about "V 80 30" for the plate.

              I'm pretty sure if you title as a collector/classic/hobbyist that you don't get to pick what the plate says. I was looking into hobbyist plates for my e21.

                Hobby/collector plates are just a number in wi based off your collector Id. Dmv page has all the details.

                    This is correct unfortunately, they just assign you a number. I believe you are also not allowed to drive a car with collector plates in January. Registration used to be a one time fee and then good forever but I don't think that's the case anymore

                      What are the advantages to collector/antique?

                      I don't mind not driving it in January.

                        Pay registration once and that's it

                        Only pay to transfer it to a different car

                          Yes it's $200 for first time and there is a specific dmv form to get a temp plate for collector cars in January do year round isnt an issue. As Kaiser said plates are good forever until a transfer is needed.

                            If you plan on putting on fender flares and things like that you will need to get hobbyist plates, antique/collector plates require that the vehicle is fairly original in appearance.

                            Also I was wrong about the perminant registration, I had heard they were getting rid of it

                              Since they got rid of the permanent registration a while ago, I'd just get regular plates. They are way cheaper and look better, especially on a red car. Your car is emissions exempt anyways due to age.

                                Yeah, and I do want personal plates in case I ever sell it I will have a memento.

                                Still leaning towards V 80 30, but probably more appropriate headake sl0 or bstrd

                                  BSTRD will never make it through the dmv.

                                      RX7 BBK in the mail.

                                      With the suspension brakes and torque this shouldn't make a bad autox machine.

                                          That isn't my plate. I just ordered a BBK. If that's what you were referencing.
