REKIII

Friday's Progress:
 

 

 
Fun Stuff.
 
Got a quote on spray foam insulation today.....hopefully I get get her all sealed up before winter.

This is funny.  Ramplesaucerburg and I were having a very similar convo the other day.  I'm a Lambo guy.  Nothing against Ferrari (although the items above are disturbing).  I think the L cars have more raw styling than the Ferraris.....which are more easily described as 'Beautiful'.
 
Best comparison, is a Ferrari is the nice girl you take home to mom, the Lambo is the hot mess you keep on the side.

Stopped by after work to go over what all needs to be shaved and what I am looking for in the bay so they can get it just like I envision it. I also dropped off the other pair of rollers so that they can get me the Breytons back once they do the rear quarter work. 
 
It was awesome seeing the car up on a lift=) The doors are all smoothed out and ready for paint. I couldn't believe they were mine since they were so smooth. My drivers side wasn't bad at all but the passenger side had a series of ripples by the bodyline behind the mirror. 
 
I also peeked at a few of the other cars they are working on and the quality of their work is excellent. I am so happy I went with them for the work.
 
They will be starting the bay next week so I will hopefully be throwing in some pictures as this progresses. 

Going to visit this turd after work

Here is the back half pour from the weekend:
(That is my 7 year old daughter, she makes the slab look a lot bigger, haha)
 

 
The joints were cut and I moved the stuff from the front of the garage onto the slab.  They will be doing 2 more pours, the left and right will be the next and then the center with the drain will be last.

hahahahahahahahahaha

I think that 'bro tank' just made me want to never wear any of my wibimmers clothes again.

That's probably the most disturbing thing posted on this website.

Just got the news yesterday that the car will be picked up for the body shop next week=)
 
I picked up the last of the hardware for mounting the front body panels and will be throwing them on for the ease of sending them on the car versus piled inside. 

Make sure to Remind me to never have kids.

He's got nothing on that.

Neither does saying 'thank-you' or 'you're welcome'  It's a courteous thing to do.  

Picked up a summer beater a few weeks back

My 95 was turbocharged.  The first gens (95-99) handled much better.  They were around 2200lbs and had pretty advanced suspension for the day.  The second gen 2000-?? handled OK after a lot of modification.  All my neons (I've had like 12 all were extemely reliable I only had 1 second gen though.
 
 
 
Yes, the 3 speed is HORRIBLE!!!  Automatics suck giant (male sex organ) in general, but that 3 speed sucks.  If you put new struts and a set of eibach springs it would handle much better....but it doesn't really matter since it is an automatic winter beater.

I had an 01 neon for quite awhile.  Get some blizzaks for it and you will motor through the snow like a beast.  Very reliable vehicle.  Worst thing about mine was that it was automatic.....I hated that.

MOVED IN TODAY. First night sleeping in the new house. Man I'm blessed to be 19 and be able to afford a house with a 24x36 shop.
good vibes!
I'll post a host of pictures once the laboratory is moved in.

Not too much to update lately, but I'm a few steps closer to inadvertantly developing a plug and play ECU for the E39/E46 chassis.  Been working with electronic suppliers ans board builders to come up with something that is pretty cool.  I'll have pics when I have something together.

So, I gotta bump this thread.  I got a new winter beater
 

I sported my wibimmers Tee during the thursday dinner at Timmayfest.  Got a few compliments.  Most didn't know what the shape was.....education system these days

Why do I get the feeling that this whole thread is some sort of code for a drug deal?

Great pics, love the wheels!  Do you ever have the urge to walk up to the car, put your one arm on the roof, and give the windshield a noogie with your other hand?

Didn't see this post but I did see you at Beyond Redline today! Nice meeting you and I look forward to seeing that M5 again
Anyways, I went to the dyno today to get baseline numbers before I order JB4 and possibly some downpipes.
She put down 283whp and 292wtq with just a drop-in air filter and catback exhaust.
Click the link below to go to my blog post about it. There is a dyno video and a scan of the dyno graph

The office below me is blaring random music, everything from 'eye of the tiger' to 'let me take a selfie'
