I lust after an e9. The things I'd do to one would make a purist squirm, though.

This really belongs in the youtube thread, but this guy has a 2800 with an S38b38 (e34 M5 3.8L 6) transplant with triple webers. He has several videos of it, and it appears he tracks it too.

Also you can bring a car over on a temporary basis if your posting in the U.S. is less than a year.

No, because it's Forza 5 :v:

So some car stuff I designed is now out for commercial sale. It feels pretty AI to be involved with it :)

Power steering reservoir as part of the Chase Bays power steering kits top, and aluminum coolant overflow tank bottom.


There are several other items I designed for them that should be in production for the coming year. I can't wait to go to car meets and see these on cars, and have the owners tell me how much they hate them and how terrible I am!

Oh poo poo, nice. That over/under 911 shot reminds me of a "before/after" weight loss ad.

For some reason I thought "Track One" was just you and your brother in a garage working on your own cars, or something. I didn't realize that it was a Real Deal, that's cool as hell.

Track One was originally all Mike. I just helped out - I did some part sales, some wrench work, helped build the first shop, move stuff, ect.

He had to close his doors last year, but ended up getting sucked back into the automotive world and went into business with a friend who was his business mentor towards the end of the original Track One when things got rough.

They just recently moved into a new two building complex and have had a ridiculous amount of business.


e: That e46 M3 is a SCCA car some customer recently purchased. It's easily the LOUDEST car that has been in the shop so far, including the 800hp Ford GT

Both, it looks like the guys on the bigger bikes aren't using anywhere near the entire width of the track in the corners. The guy on the 250 has much better lines

Rotas suck mostly because they steal designs. Someone worked hard to come up with those designs. Many cheap wheels are fine for road use, but if you like a certain aesthetic design you should buy the real thing or not buy it at all. You're taking some designer's / engineer's hard work and making GBS threads on it.

If it's a replica of a factory wheel / something out of production it's not particularly egregious, but reps of aftermarket wheels that are still available are lovely practice that should not be rewarded with your business.

Don't be so quick to judge that, I have a friend who flew a few states away and drove back an old Nova he bought with his own money. He was 14 at the time. He's like 21 now and is almost done building a 37 model t hot rod
