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

[straight6pwr]

brakes 'bedded' and working great, no need for another bleed. my jb weld patch also held during the test. hopefully i will have a 'dry' engine this year instead of the mess from last. 

to note: i now know why i couldnt make the abs kick on during the wet autocross. its because the abs may not be functioning lol 

p.p.s. joe, we're going to have another epic shootout year in autox. my new tires are grippy compared to last years!

I also got a good chuckle out of your "gold theme" pic.

yes, same wheels i've had.

I have a pack of o-rings for that, too late now.  I replaced mine last Saturday.  I don't know if only early cars had the o-ring seals.  My 2/94 has crush washer plugs, I think the same ones as the vanos access plugs.  The o-rings came in a pack of 25 so 11.5 more people can have a pair if they want them.

yeah, i see no real point in that, but thanks!. they are machining access holes which can just be welded shut, so putting new o-rings in just will be a point of failure again in the future.

and you are correct, early versions had the plug/oring. not sure if there was a specific cut-off date based on each motor (m50/s50) but mine is also an early 94 date.

My 3/93 has o- rings, my 2/94 has crush washers.  Both M50 vanos engines.  I am OCD and had to leave it the way it came.  I wish I wasn't...

3. replace windshield with used OEM glass. 
4. wire in electric fan correctly.  https://www.r3vlimited.com/board/showthread.php?t=210783
5. permanently mount elec fan with bracket kit. DONE
6. Buy ignition cylinder/key to match VIN. 
7. Fix my antenna. z3 or e36 mast. 
8. Shadowline window trim.
9. Replace rear subframe bushings. Soft poly.

Melt my heart with that bunny

Looks fantastic as usual! Love the sepia photos

I had a bunny hole in my front yard with about 6 of them. I found this out as I was mowing the lawn and the ground suddenly gave birth to some furry little creatures. Fortunately I didnt mow over them, unfortunately a predatory bird knew this was coming and quick grabbed one as a snack. My wife was also watching as this happened and gave me the Lee Trevino Happy Gilmore look of shock and disbelief that I had somehow caused this travesty.

Love the photos! Excellent use of sepia, I normally am not a sucker for sepia but you have succeeded with it here
