  1. Well, its time once again to remember Travis Born. This has been a tradition every year to get together and celebrate some of the things Travis loved; Friends, cars, and good times. The owners of Sunburst Ski area have been gracious enough to allow us to meet in the parking lot of one of the places Travis very frequently came to. We will start the cruise from sunburst at noon so come early to make sure you don't miss out!

    After the cruise we will have a get together to continue the good times at a to be determined location!

    This event is all about hanging out with old friends and meeting new ones, so bring your friends!

    We ask that when we meet at sunburst that EVERYONE is respectful because we hope to be able to come back for future events!

    If weather seems to really be an issue in the days leading up to the cruise then the rain date will be the following sunday, but that will be dealt with if it happens!

    There is two rust hole in the floor pans of the car. One being right where your heel would be in front of the gas pedal and the other being right next to a plug in the floor on the passenger side.

     

    And I picked up some e36 front struts yesterday. I got them in and test fitted one of the rs's.

  3. So I took off that rubber may that is on the fire wall and where ever there was a stud on the passenger side firewall it was rusted out pretty bad around them. So if anyone has A junk parts car that the firewall is still fine and is willing to cut it apart let me know. Just trying to find one before I just get steel from work and fix it from scratch.

  4. Over the weekend some people went up by Joel(Jody, Mr. DIV, etc.) and we cut oout the DIV stickers and put the trophies together.

    If you didn't already know this is this years design on the shirts and stickers. The normal shield stickers, midwest stickers and DIV stickers are available as well. In other words make sure you bring a little spending money.  :P

    And also pre-reg cars be there between 1pm and 2pm. We will not be letting non pre-reg cars in at this time! Non pre-reg cars will start coming in at 2pm.

  5. So, slowly I'm acquiring more parts. This past weekend I made my wiring harness adapter.

    And with a trip to the junkyard i started to pull the 318ti rear trailing arms. The junkyard closed before i could get them both off. 

    Also got my e36 steering rack bushing kit from AKG Motorsport today.

  6. Not yet. They will be though. But whe I was under the car today the floors looked fine beside for the floor pan plug? Not sure what it's actually called but those plugs/covers were a little soft. I'm not too worried about fixing smaller areas just don't want to be fixing full floor pans.

  7. Yea, it'll be a 24V. I'm going to be buying a M50B25TU from Jake S. I've talked with him and made a deal. Just got to get some money together for him before he moves. As for my end goal, I'm not 100% sure. As of now I want to go for some sort of boost. But i have thought about high compression build. But before i do any modifying on the engine I am just going to get it running in the car and do all the body work and get it repainted. And thanks to Andy E i got the vaders.  :) 

    Here is another picture from when i first bought it.

    And here are the wheels that are going to be going on it.

    Also it's getting a 5 lug swap. All I need for the swap still is 96+ m3 control arms which I'm still in search of. And Ti rear trailing arm but i know where there is a Ti in a junkyard that I'm going to pull them off of.

  8. Okay, as some of you know I purchased an '88 convertible earlier this year. Yesterday was the first day that I started to do anything with it. (didnt do very much but still it's a start) Yesterday i started on getting the engine and trans ready so it can be pulled from the car. Here is a progress picture.

    On another note, the full swap is for sale. It has 153k on it. It will come with engine, trans, harness, ecu, and driveshaft. $600 obo

  9. Who is all heading to Dubs in the Valley? It's July 19th this year. 

    www.dubsinthevalley.com/10/DIV2014Reg.html

    Pre-registration ends on June 30th and it's $25 and you get a shirt. Otherwise it's $25 at the gate and you have to buy a shirt for an additional $15. I will be helping staff the event. If you have any questions you can ask me and i can get an answer back to you asap.

  10. So. The other day I went to bleed the clutch on my e46 and once I got it back on the road The cruise control wouldn't work. The light for it will turn on once I start my car but will go away once I start moving. Then it won't come back on unless I shut it off turn it back on but then it will do the same thing. What did I do?

  11. uhhhh, i really want RS II's. Car looks good, where did you get the M3 front bumper and how was mounting it?

    Everything is for sale for the right price. Haha. And I believe I got it from turner Motorsport. And I think i used preface lift brackets and there is a screw hole on the bottom of the bumper that goes to the lower fender liner.
