Hello. My name is Dan, and today I doomsday prepped

[B C]

That pin for the selector rod joint wasnt even close. Didnt even attempt to ACE Hardware it.

The fitment of that pin does makes such a difference in the left/right slop.

So on that rear shift carrier mount, was the shift carrier just sitting free? I mean, that would be better than bolting it solid since it needs to slide longitudinally, but wow, so lazy.

Every one of us does some slightly dodgy things on custom projects at some point at least until a permanent solution can be devised, but that one was just lazy.

Thanks for the exhaust pic. Your car sounds extremely good and not a rolling raspberry. My exhaust setup should be pretty interesting since I will be merging the headers at a 3" Y-pipe into my existing Vibrant Ultra quiet resonator (essentially a mini muffler), then I will add a 12 or 18" bottle type resonator to it.

I liked the single exhaust on the turbo M20 so im hoping it doesnt somehow ruin the sound with a 24V with headers.

cant argue with that, if i were to start from the beginning a single pipe setup is simpler and cheaper.

on the rear carrier mount, the carrier had some bushing stuffed in there as well, but yeah the bracket had to come off to remove the carrier.

All that work of mangling to get that knob off of that beat shifter, I would have just bought a new shifter. But the results look great as always. Nice job. (Im still jelly about your interior)

Jason will fart on your seats if he ever takes a ride.
I need to come by sometime and make sense of some of the hose and wire routings for my project. My brain is getting numb from looking at RealOEM diagrams for an OBD2 E36, OBD2 E39, and OBD1 E36 (there are a couple oddball E39 specific M52 parts in the mix)

I only puff pink magic clouds similar to unicorn burps, no harm will be caused.

got out for a late night photoshoot in milwaukee. the night ended early (see below) but I got some good ones before that happened.

 

aaaand the night ended with a dead car.  car stalled out and wouldn't start up. fuel pump/main relay gave out. fun thing to happen at midnight. bonus points to anyone who knows the exact spot it happened based on the photo.

I think I know! That parking lot next to the entrance to the Third Ward on St. Paul?

Also, you take amazing pictures, those all look incredible

[Boris3]

Beautiful pics. You have a good eye for setup and use of lighting.

My guess is the Domes. My favorite is the parking garage. Its nice that there is a garage with lighting color temperature greater than 1000K

Great pics!

Looks to be right in front of summerfest grounds. I snapped some pictures of my buddys s2000 there many moons ago, circa 2006/7?.

Your pictures look amazing Dan, nice work!

[m42b32]

WAIT, its definitely schlitz park

yeah, but counting my lucky stars on it happening in a parking lot versus on the freeway. i also got to dial up my first uber ride, so that was...something.
