Agreed! And I would but I'm going to save it for my 4-door that I'll start working on someday...

Got lucky on ebay a few weeks ago and scored something I've wanted for this car since the day I bought it, an e30 Mtech 1 spoiler! The rubber is in extremely good shape and the insert is conveniently already white!

I noticed that recently too, I dont know enough about that stuff to know what causes that...

This car just looks right with a canoe on the roof!

Thats a nice looking X5! Love the brown interior. I'm pretty impressed you managed to pay for college with euro clocks haha.

Thats a great price for a donor car!

Thanks! Yeah I was excited to find those on the fork when I picked up the frame, that basically made the decision for me to put a front rack on it.

Awesome!! That first drive probably felt great!

I've been playing with old bikes again. This time it is a 1990 Diamondback Ascent EX with an awesome candle smoke and purple pearl paintjob that I got for free from a friend. Basically every component on it was completely trashed but the frame and fork polished up nicely. After a bit of scope creep I rebuilt it into a nice cafe cruiser that's really fun to ride.

I saw a Carrera GT on a flatbed today on the west side of Mequon, that was pretty cool. Had a ThrottleStop license plate so I'm assuming it's this one from their sold listings: https://www.throttlestop.com/vehicles/273/2005-porsche-carrera-gt

I'm glad to hear you were able to sort out that brake shudder!

Ah ok that makes more sense, I forgot they had hosted those.

160.5k Changed the oil and did some other random maintenance on the car a couple weeks ago. While I had it on jack stands I also replaced the adjustable ground control sway bar links with some Meyle HD e30 M3 links as one of the heim joints on the GC ones was knocking. I also swapped the Condor transmission mounts with rubber e21 trans mounts and UUC aluminum reinforcement cups that I had kicking around from when the car had an M42. Holy cow did that make a difference for NVH! It is much more pleasant to drive and there is still no noticeable movement through the chassis-mount shifter. I've been driving it at least once a week and really enjoying it this summer!

This is the first I'm hearing of it, has it basically made protool useless? I still use it for fixing things on my wife's Mini so it would suck to have the diagnostic functionality gone...
