SteelBlue

Full Suspension refresh, rebuild locks and new parking break cables and this thing will be golden! Along with a new motor. Still have the glovebox and a few things we forgot to bring up with the car too. Can't wait to see it back on the road.

That house has also been in the state of looking like it's being repaired while simultaneously looking like it's about to be burned down for a local fire department practice for the past 10 years.  

The first picture is a vertical screen shot of a horizontal picture of the front of the car both vertically and horizontally off kilter. 
I am deceased.

So much wrong here. I'm not sure what's worse, if the seller actually believes what he's saying, if he's trying to play an e30 con, or he was simply scammed by his parents. 
Something like "Honest junior it's got an M3 grill badge that's how you can tell it's a rare M3 cabriolet 325i race car. And with the special BMW v6 it's even more powerful than the original engine."
Another seller that don't go to skool 

"they only sold it to the public because they had to. "
Their mom told them if they didnt sell it to the public they couldn't have ice cream. 

I'll let you guys know

Remember to take the towels out before putting the manifold back on. 
Not that I would have any experience with that.

Try building early mornings for reverse typos

Quoting for proof. Although I think I'm siding with you on this one.

He already crashed and died.  Bummer.

Well they've been under construction. Theres the new one by the Sargento bridge and they are putting one in at the top of the hill right by the bottom of 5. There was a new one that had been at turn 3 for this year.

New shower facilities are looking fiiiirrreeee. Especially with that new one right by the sargento bridge.
Looking forward to sweating. Especially the Hawk, I am absolutely just disgusting at the end of the day. Because I get there at like 8 and am there till 5 and walking constantly. I walked 24 miles over Saturday and Sunday last year.

Paint job turned out great, can’t wait to see it mounted.

The shipping for this lip was gonna be like $70 if I wanted to return so I figured I would just keep it and try to make it work. Started out by painting it. Got one can of the correct paint from the automotive paint store which ended up being the perfect amount to do this lip. Bought a kerosene heater just so I could take advantage of painting on my day off. I think it came out really well, you can really see the flake in the Black Sapphire Metallic. Just need to work on mounting it, don't know if I'll be doing that anytime soon considering its still December outside and these past 4 months have been a simulation.
Not bad for a $30 rattle can job.

My taste is pretty all over. I’ll go from this to Young Thug, to CCR, to Travis Scott, to Alan Jackson

Ok so everyone else is doing cool builds and as usual I don't have anything unique to add to the conversation - just basic beta bitch mods like bolt-on superchargers. 
I walked away from the deal for the used 625 kit that had the red painted manifold. It looked good in photos but I know it was also a $15 rattle can job. Not a professional paint job like you'd get from iND or something. The guy wanted $6250 for his kit and on top of that you need to drop $1000 to get a new tune from ESS because they are locked to a VIN. I just couldn't fully bring myself to spend that kind of money for a used supercharger kit compared to the price of a brand new one that comes with a 2 year warranty. 
So I called up EAS and they quoted me $7720 shipped for a brand new kit (which includes a tune). It's a no-brainer at that point to just buy it new. The extra $500 guarantees no missing parts and everything works. 
I also ordered a set of BE rod bearings and ARP bolts. They were back-ordered until March 31 (i placed my order on March 22nd or so) and I'm glad I did because as of now they are already backordered again until July 1. Lots of S65 owners are buying up these bearings because they have increased clearance, but not so much that there is any real impact to oil pressure at high rpms. 
The supercharger showed up earlier this week and I'm still waiting on the bearings. Install plans have been delayed because ....well I mean just look outside. It's cold in my garage too. 
I will be outsourcing the rod bearing install to Efab Motorsports in Lake Zurich. They are doing a labor special on rod bearing service for $700 during the month of April. I'll have them throw in new motor mounts while they are at it because for whatever reason the mounts on this car are a 50k mile maintenance item and the subframe will be down already. The shop owner has a VO 1M that I am excited to look at when I go down there.
I am scheduled to drop the car off for RB service on May 1 and pick it up May 3. 

GOd that looks so much better now lol. I cannot believe how much wheel gap comes from the factory
