That's a turd? It's a hell of a lot cleaner than my e30. :rofl

If it runs, it's faster, too.

I didn't know you could win a HPDE

Nice car though, the paint looks to be in good shape. What kinda plans do you have for it

Greg, I say you give him a love tap from the rear while he's transfixed on my car's bumper (no, not one of those types of "taps" from the rear). Rubbins racing!

Nice catch and have fun building it up. Sure looks clean - must have been that laser-wash.:D

Well, it sat in the sun for a year...It just needed a good scrubbing though. I'll lay a coat of wax down and i'm sure it will shine right up.

overall, i'm impressed for only $800 invested so far :)

Anyone have any opinion on the "spec" suspension (bilstein sports and H&R race) ?? Are the bilsteins damped enough? Will it be low enough? Willl it handle ok?
