If you want to sell the current wheels Ill buy them.
Also congrats on the purchase. The dinan stuff is sweet. Best years for Dinan as it seems they have fallen off since Steve Dinan left.

thanks everyone.
was hard to watch it go, but it went to a nice guy who is a BMW enthusiast (not a local). he had previously bought an e30 convertible, and it wasnt quite the sports car he hoped. When he got in this thing it was about 1 min till he was sold that this is what he was dreaming about in an e30.
thank you. put about 30,000 fun miles on it in 5 years.
i've said this in the past, but if any of you ever hear or see me driving a mini-van, please just set it on fire for me. It'd be ok if I was still inside.
looking like my future username is "

If Glen wanted to participate, he would have showed up. Clearly he doesn't care about the community or about the friendships he's made.
How about I set up a fall cruise up by me next year? Hell I bet even @KaiserRollswouldn't show up.

This thread needs a revival.
I've been listening to some interesting shit trying to revive my childhood going to Vans Warped tour ETC.
If anyone likes Alt Rock + Alt RNB these might tickle your fancy. Least I am not posting the Rap or Metal I regularly listen to....

I will send a PM out to those who are attending with address information. My E46 isn't track-ready yet (the new 4.10 diff came with a bad bearing fml), but my friend is letting me use his 720S for RA on Thursday and i'm picking it up tomorrow so I will probably get acclimated to it by doing a beat run to solidify our cruise route for Saturday.
The poll results are looking like we will do Option 1 which is show up anytime between 9-10:30, socialize till 11 and then we drive till 12 or 12:30, and arrive back at my place for lunch. Stu and one of my other friends with a boomer Corvette (C5 in grandpa gold with a black bra on the front) will be there so based on the results here i'm expecting it to be 10-12 people.
Take pictures!

I know we've got some fisherman in the group so I wanted to share this one my son caught two weekends ago up in Luck, WI on Little Butternut Lake. According to my scale it was a 14lb bowfin! He caught it on a size 6 hook fishing for panfish. He hooked it and reeled it in all by himself. It's easily the largest fish he's ever caught!
Impressive...

This site also scrapes facebook and ebay and is generally quite useful.
That 330 is an amazing deal

More louder is better
Well, That was a fail. As probably seen on @pynacls build thread. He gifted me an Eisenmann Race muffler with 86mm Le Mans tips on the promise that if I ever go with another muffler setup, I gift it back. (That is Now on record for everyone to see)
Turns out my stock muffler was welded to the section 3. Good thing we have a parts car to swap section 3 + the muffler right?
Wrong.
I undid 16 bolts to disconnect my section 3. Thanks @i_love_carsfor replacing those bolts as they came undone really easy. At this point Jake and I think to ourselves, This is going way too easy, we should check the parts car. Well turns out the section 3 bolts were both heavily rusty and rounded. So I had to put my car together and cry myself to sleep. Since the muffler was stuck on the parts car, I decide to repair the drivers side tip that was dented in the accident. I did alot of research and decided a tailpipe expander would be perfect for the job. I purchased one before I came and decided to give it the old college try. Ill let pictures speak for itself but I think its pretty much there. Just a hammer tap left and it is 99% back to normal. Will be paying a buddy to help me swap them at an Audi dealership with a lift..
The weekend wasn't all a loss because Pynacl and I went to the Imola Motorsports open house, He won a hat and I won the grand prize of a $500 2 year ceramic coating. (Will have it done this next spring.) I almost didn't win because I was too busy complaining that I wasn't winning ran up half way though them redrawing the number LOL.
Today since this weekend didn't go as planned I decided to install some bits and pieces I've had laying around for months. First was the Never Done M3 badge sticker. The old one was very faded and peeled off without a heatgun with ease. 2nd thing I did was replaced the side markers with OEM E38 amber side markers as the M3 and E38s share the same markers. In the pictures you can see the before and after a plastic polish and before and after install.
The car officially has 100% oem ambers. Yes, I am an amber butthurt, amber the world.

Finished drilling out like a million plastic rivet heads and reassembled the inserts into my door cards! Probably not the best solution but I resecured them using short self tappers (3/4”) and fender washers (20mm). Fit and finish is perfect, super jazzed how the swap turned out.
Orgasmic

Errrrrr, With how much I have been traveling this summer I think I am out. Hopefully next summer!
Have fun fellas.

Where might a great condition cinnamon interior be hiding? In a rebuilt title, dumpster of an M3 of course! Bought this 110k Imola on cinnamon E46 M3 yesterday to be a donor car. I'm swapping the cinnamon interior into my Steel Gray M3, then selling the car for a break even price to another for the motor/trans. Free cinnamon interior
Also found the car has a sweet Eismann exhaust setup. I'm donating it to @Rekpoint for all his help dismantling the interior and helping with the swap, everybody wins!
Let it be known we were able to install everything besides the front door panels in just about an hour. Pretty fast...

Crazy that I hated that design on every other car they were put on. Then you throw them on your car and they look pretty damn good. Hard to beat the ZCPs tho.
