Tom and I went to the Brew City Cruise Night weekly car show this past Tuesday and the 240 was looking really good in person. The e30 was there with the family and we talked a lot about how great it was to have the cars at a point where you could just take it for a drive without any headaches.

@AsparagusMike had his car tuned recently.

Hunter Mulhollon

He has a dyno in his shop. Very good with MS tuning and TS and his prices are pretty reasonable. 10/10 recommend

Located on the north side of Fond du lac.

He did some re-tuning on my car (running MS3 pro) a little over a month back and it has been running flawless ever sense.

Shoot him a message on Facebook, super nice guy and he knows his shit.

The car runs Megasquirt MS3x, so I would need to find someone experienced and willing to tune that. 

Also, had an opportunity to get out and have some photos taken for an upcoming magazine feature. No idea how long until that will come out, but here's a photo I snapped while hanging around.

Only 15 miles in, but so far things are good. I'm running with engine break-in oil, keeping RPM varied <4k and throttle input <60%. Plan is to keep putting around in it like that, change the oil after 50 miles for another batch of break-in oil, and then change that batch of oil out at around 500 miles.

This car has been a real test of my patience and perseverance.

No photo evidence aside from washing it in my driveway that morning.

In a delightful twist of fate, this seems to be running pretty well. Boost control is working now so I can actually drive it normally without constantly feathering the pedal. 

70% chance I'll show up to the e30 picnic with this and park somewhere out of the way as to not offend.

its boxy. it has round headlights. if you average the #of cylinders for available e30 motors, you get 5. i think no one will notice.

I just got one, still struggling with software.  If it would help you could borrow it once I figure out my AWD issue.  I replaced the collar gear that was stripped on my vR and it worked for a little while but now it won't engage but no CEL or alarms on the dash.  Hopefully this will help me figure out what's up.
