I like how half of the lettering on the rear tires is worn/burned off already

Yeah... I added the spacers but didn't chop the quarters out right away before moving it. Good eye!

Spacers, or cut the corner in the T-bell driveway too close?

Learned something about M3 mirrors yesterday. -If you blast one off with your hip, they snap right back together with snap pins.

I always thought they were fixed. Good to know!

I learned this in a parking lot the other day! Somebody whacked my mirror and I came back to a note and my mirror hanging by a wire. I was pissed for about a minute till I realized they just pop back on. I'm sure it gave the person who bumped it a heart attack haha

At least they left you a note

WOW. A good citizen indeed.

this thing is starting to have a great feel to it. i think the hood needs something more going on though to balance the rack/wing. inspiration:

[Earl]

Is that an FD RX7? 

[HipMF]

don't think so. looks like a 3000gt.

[Earl]

It's a Dodge Stealth. Thanks for making me look at 3000gt's to get me there=P

[Jdesign]

Im really confused as to whats going on there, but it dooes look pretty cool. Hmmm.... Maybe I could run a throttlebody for a "open exhaust" dump through the hood?

[Jdesign]

How about just using the skeleton of another hood? The E36 hood has very little bracing under it.

[Earl]

[Jdesign]

Yeah that, but not that.

So I feel like an idiot for never checking this but this is my current predicament. I was going to go to the final drift event this weekend, but now that's looking like its going to be a stretch. 

I had a what I thought was a spare 3.93 open diff for this car that I welded and was going to install last night. Problem is that its not the same style as what is in the car. The front half mounting position only has one mounting ear to the sub frame and the one I welded has two. So if anyone has an open 3.93/4.10 E36 diff that has one front mounting ear, I will trade you or buy it from you.

For sale/trade-

• 3.93 Welded
• 3.91 LSD 

This is the diff/ subframe I have in the car:

This is the diff I welded:

I assume I cannot use this diff because the front mounting ears are not the same. Am I correct?

[Daggerty]

Idk if that is from an e36

[Jdesign]

With much headache and research I have discovered that the new diff I welded is for an E46. On the hunt for an E36 unit thats open in the 3.91-4.44 range.
