      repaint your car with dry-erase paint. then color on it with whiteboards markers. then wipe it off for an awesome clean car.

                  Double check that timing on assembly ... I would hate to see something happen after all that work ... no doubting, just reminding  :D

                    Trying to get Kelly moss to come out and do it at my house, so I don't have to trailer it in! But I have an idea on how to get timing back to the spot it was. :) And Chris sent me 9 pages of timing/head gasket stuff out of his Bentley, so I should be good!

                    But I agree. I'd be saddened if I got it all buttoned up and found out valves were high-fiving the piston heads..

                            I've been to Racine once in this, and it was to sell a built LS-V with ITB's. An that was in the middle of the night.

                              Just clarified a possible sponsorship on wheels for the E28. They make high end wheels, that are in the $5,650+ range. The guys said they liked my build alot, and are going to get back to me on sponsorship stuff. :) I'll keep you all updated.

                              Back to headgasket stuff, I spent today doing nothing really. cleaning the valve train a bit, painting the intake manifold, valve cover, and throttle body really. Nothing too fancy. Tomorrow I'm gunna start crackin though.

                                So, Kaiser asked me to share my story on how the whole sponsorship thing came about. So I will tell you guys!

                                Was logging into my StanceWorks account, and had a private message that read;

                                someone said:

                                Hi my name is Coly I'm a sale rep. With VIPModular wheels and I love your build. We have alot of sponsorships and discount pricing right now. If you need a set of wheels let me know. email me XXXXXXXXXXX

                                At first I was like, "Yeah this doesn't seem really legit, my builds nothing special, it's just a broke 21 year old that spends too much money at the bar, and drives an ugly daily."

                                So I messaged  VIPModular on Facebook (it's direct linked off their website),asking if it was a real offer or not. An this is what I got in return.

                                someone said:

                                Brian, Coly is our new sales rep, and are currently looking at builds that we would love to work with.

                                Needless to say, I'm speechless. I've decided to go for it, as I feel it's gunna be alot of fun working with them.

                                I'll keep you all updated as it pans out!

                                    It's quite possible. Now that it's got the Shark on it, I'm sure that helped.

                                      Anyone have a 36mm they'd be capable of dropping off? I'm trying to get my front crank bolt off so I can remove the timing cover and get this shit squared away.

                                        BMW was all put back together, went to start it, cranked over fine, sounded good, just didn't fire up. So we took the intake/fuel line+rail/air stuff off, going to look where vacuum lines go and shit. Ugh.

                                          Make sure your reference and speed sensor are not reversed.
