Him and his wife were over both days this weekend...6 feet apart and outside obviously. I can confirm he is still alive. 

I’d make it 12-15 feet even without the threat of a virus

Much better than being at work

Dragon in a downpour 

RT660s were great, drove pretty similar to an RE. Settled around 31 hot, which doesn’t mean much without using pyrometers but that’s where the car felt the best for me.

one issue I did have which was super frustrating was when the car would be super gripped up in a corner, the inside tire would spin up a bit. Almost felt like an open diff. 

the skid plate also slammed on some corners (better than the oil pan though) which is quite the shock mid corner. Shawano is quite the “roller coaster” though so I wouldn’t expect this to be normal behavior at 90% of the events we run. If it keeps happening I’ll raise the car and get it re-aligned.

Crazy how a little piece of rubber can make a difference

Same thing applies to having kids

haha I've seen all of these except for the last one. I might contact the last one after I sell mine, if he wants to come down a little that would be perfect.

I've been watching the market for a few months now and seen or contacted most local sellers. I started watching 1addicts after Pat reminded me about the forums for each chasis and they seem to have the nicest cars there.

The further you get away from Facebook, the better the car culture/ads/etc becomes

Showed up, now it’s time to get a not crappy laptop and get everything ready to go

I think my favorite part about this, is how excited you are to be able to share the car with your wife! That’s so awesome.

Wish Rolls was like that [emoji102]

I really need a ride in this thing when we get the chance. Every time I brought the idea of purchasing one of these to Mitch I was always immediately talked out of it lol. Sounds so good!!

Over the last few months snap had been kicking around the idea of selling his car.

Occasionally he would text me and tell me he was serious, naturally I told him to go fly a kite there’s no way he could sell it. 

However as his texts kept getting more and more serious, so did my interest.

As some of you know I sold my first black e30 to stew and I text him basically yearly to buy it back. He always tells me to pound sand which is fair lol. For the last 5 years or so I have been on-and-off looking for a rust free e30, which is annoying. Don’t get me wrong I love my red car and it serves its purpose, but I can only get so many tetanus boosters before my eyes explode  

Anyways, In an effort to keep the car off the next BMW Facebook page of mouth breathers, I drove done to New Germany with Brooke on June 2 and made the decision to “diversify” my car collection. 

Upon arriving I was immediately sold. Snap has cared well for the car over the last 8 years and it shows. The paint may be worn and shows its age, but aren’t we all after so many years. What’s important to me is that pretty much every nut/bolt has been touched and mechanically the car is in awesome shape. 

We took it around for a quick test drive and that sealed the deal even further. Car pulls nicely and is geared fairly tall (for what I’m use to) and it cruises nicely. 

The drive back home went as expected, although I puckered a few times as the 3” exhaust was hanging fairly low

Rolled it out into the sun today to check out her work

Old pinion seal was pretty torched. 

 

pried it out and hammered the new one in

diff studs in, new dust cover for pinion seal, new speed sensor and oring gets here today. Hoping to get this back on the road tonight. 

new suspension, just in time for winter 

Local event today, car did pretty well. New suspension setup is way better. Not sure where I ended up overall, from what I heard maybe 2nd?

was also able to give @Rekpoint a couple ride alongs, hopefully he swings out to a some events once he can source an m3

This is on track for the largest Wibimmers meet since the deployment of the chatterbox. RIP chatterbox, RIP

Id like to take a moment and thank everyone for allowing me to be a part of wibimmers before the doors were shut forever

Sup Ty, I’ll buy you some slaps for it

As a part of the CES cut ring install, last night I refinished the block.

Used the coarse/fine sides of the stone. Tons of brake cleaner, wd-40, lacquer thinner, rags and beer.

Biggest thing I found was keeping the stone and block clean and well lubed. As soon as the WD started to change colors, the stone didn't seem to "cut" anymore.

Plugged up the cylinders as best as I could with plastic and tape, oil and coolant passages will be brake cleaned and flushed to death.

This is what I started with:(only crappy pic I took before hand)

And this is what I ended with

One step closer
