Obviously

But

This isn’t always avoidable

I’m all for defensive driving (many years on a motorcycle) but it comes to a certain point when you need to remind a shitfuck that they are driving a 5,000lb death missile and have some form of responsibility to point it where it doesn’t run into someone.

That being said, shotgun blasts and big fireball is by far and away a better tool than a horn to keep these dipshits from running into you.

Is it a douche move? Probably.

But at least you’re not calling a towing company to come scoop your hopes and dreams up from the ditch because sally home maker merged without looking because she was pinning a new fucking casserole recipe.

Not a bad car, not running but it looks fairly clean and rust free.
 
 

Thanks to Jason for hosting the meeting point and for everyone that came out! I certainly enjoyed getting back together with you guys and meeting Lars and Peter.


Im sure the weather forecast scared some people away but it wasn’t bad at all. Just some damp roads and a few light sprinkles which Dan didnt hesitate to get a little sideways while a parked cop was in view (did you see them by the onramp?) The low clouds looked awesome though.


Here’s Boosty McBoostleaks





This morning I drove to the store and it didnt feel nearly as strong as the last time i drove it maybe a year ago. It didnt seem to be making any boost and must have some big boost leak. The first WOT attempt resulted in limp mode. Any of the M42 guys would have outrun this thing easily.


Somewhere closer to Devil’s Lake it felt like it was starting to make boost and finally started putting you back in the seat when you got on it, still not all there though. N54 life.

Apparently the camera is lava: Sammi ran and hid behind the civic, Jason didnt make it in time.


Earl wall-tapped all the things

The weather for tomorrow is looking slightly better than it did the last time I checked. The barometric pressure is pretty steady until 11a then it falls off a cliff and then death is imminent.  My spidey-sense says mostly overcast and light sprinkling for tomorrow. but i'm also not Spider-Man

This is coming back in the shop!

Going to be replacing the engine harness as I have learned that E's have very volatile wiring. Hopefully that is the running issue I have been having!  

One summer of driving would be amazing

Do they take liver, kidney, and testicle donations? 

I’ve had a few valve cover gaskets and head gaskets delivered to my house in the past few years. My wife is catching on:

I'm in for breakfast as well. I'm also planning on driving around for awhile in the black earth/blue mounds area after the meet if anyone wants to tag along. 

Well, I guess I'll start. 
Not sure what to post, but I suppose I could give a bit of background info on myself and my car. I'm a freshman at MSOE right now, mechanical engineering, and I'm originally from Madison where I met Chris a few years ago and was introduced to the forum. 
I've got a 1989 325i vert that I've slowly been bringing back from neglect. It had the rear suspension and driveshaft components refreshed/replaced last winter, and the head rebuilt with new cam/rockers/valve springs in June due to a broken valve spring. I've done a lot of interior refreshing as well, along with new tires and some other little things. 
Oh, and it's Alpine White, which seems to be a thing around here. 
Not sure where I'm going to go with it from here, probably gonna refresh the front suspension, maybe a manual swap, and maybe spring for a x-brace, but who knows with college and all that. 

Alpine convertible? You have my attention!

Imagine if you had a convertible. I had a lady insult me twice in one "compliment" once. 
"Thats such a cute car, I like the color! Is it a pontiac too?"
After my simple NO, she sped away in her Pontiac Sunfire. FML.

I win!

Both cams torqued!
No more helicoils!

These look like Borbet Type H, strong wheel but heavy. Maybe 21 lbs in a 15x7?? Good for snow tires / winter hooning / potential curb smacking, etc
If the seller is correct on the offset of +35 then you'll probably need spacers to fit on a regular e30 to get it closer to +25 for a 15x7 fitment. Should work on an ix though without spacers.  

My eyes...

Gosh dang, white is the best color on an e30

Lab reports ☠️[emoji1617]

For sure.

Wheels are together and going in to get tires mounted in an hour. Im going to just wrap my engine harness and I should be all set. I will be going stand alone this winter so this harness is garbage to me now. 3 harness' spliced to make one has been annoying since the start. Electrical tape and shrink wrap it is!
Will post pictures of the wheels and them on the car later. No time!!!!!!

I'm thinking a diffuser like this with twin tip center exhaust. Thoughts? Opinions?
