Alright so my car has been in and out of a shop for the past year and it will finally be complete this thanksgiving. I stopped by the shop this past weekend when I came home from college. I've put in Bilstein HD and Koni red shocks, 19mm sway bars, front bav auto strut brace, cross drilled/slotted rotors in the front with volvo calipers working on getting disks in the rear, 10,000m on rebuilt 2.5L m20 bottom with greymarket 2.7L head, MSD Ignition, straight back exhaust, new coolant system, euruthane steering rack bushing, Polished BBS RA with 2 inch lip 15x7 in the rear :), BBS front air dam, zender trunk lid spoiler, euro bumpers and theres probably some other stuff I forgot to mention. I havent been able to drive my car for the past year and have been throwing all my checks at it. I will post pics when shes all done and yes I'll be at bimmerfest this spring. Just waiting on my 284 cam to get to the shop:buttrock Suggestions on what else to get I dropped 3 classes so I could throw some more money at her

Wow sounds good, I hope we can hang out at bimmerfest. Is all this being installed by a shop?

Dropping classes for a car, no matter what car is not worth it in my opinion. When you get to your senior year and want the hell out of school and houses start becoming the most important thing, you will understand this. My car(s) have been on hold since I started going to school 4.5 years ago :shifty

Has been in and out of a shop for the past year. The shop is putting in the motor and got my vovlo calipers for me. My dad and I put on the suspension and euro bumpers and some misc. stuff like fixing the front air dam that was all beat up and pulling the m10 out. That was a good day. Oh knew I had forgot something, the motor is mounted up to a Z4 transmission. The head came off one of the very first european grey market e30's that came into the states. I got it from someone on the forums named Mrel who totaled the original e30. I bought a legion shirt from you at bimmerfest last year I just didnt bring my car.

I originally planned on putting a m52 in but when it didnt fit and funds got low I decided to trade it to Mrel for whats going in now.

There will no dought be a thread on this later. We usualy do the house drinking on thursday, hotel drinking on friday, and bars on satuday.

None of us have brought girls though, they seem to get in the way of having a good time:devillook But I think this year some of the guys might be bringing the gf...

Someday when I have lots of money and lots of vacation I'll ship the Baur down there and go, I'd drive it down but it's still the middle of winter up here when bimmerfest is going on....Lets see our first child will be born in January so that means about 18-21 years from now I might be able to go to bimmerfest....
