DevianceInDark Posted February 20, 2015 Report Share Posted February 20, 2015 old school favorites includes things like: Q and not U, The Mars Volta, At the Drive-in I'm a huge fan of At the drive in and The Mars Volta! Have you listened to the current project Antemasque? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HipMF Posted February 21, 2015 Report Share Posted February 21, 2015 Hadn't heard of it, but checking it out and it sounds pretty good. More back-to-basics than the proggy Mars Volta stuff, but still super-tight rhythm. Cool to see they're still going and I'm amazed he can still sing like that. They haven't gone all soft either, tons of energy. DevianceInDark 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan... Posted March 4, 2015 Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 oooooooooohhhh 26, single, no kids. The first car I ever recall seeing and thinking, "holy shit, I need that!" was a Laguna Seca Blue E46 M3. 10 BMWs later and I just bought my first 911 a couple days ago, so at least I'm sticking to the German theme! As for employment, I'm a police officer in the Madison area. patsbimmer1 and B C 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GB-335xiCoupe Posted March 4, 2015 Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 I'm old, married, have one 9 year old daughter. Some of you could be my sons (?) I love beer, whiskey and scotch. Yes scotch (told ya I was old). Trapshooting on Wednesday nights is bound to be the death of me, but that's another topic in itself.I grew up in Grafton, lived in Colorado from age 15-17, then graduated from Grafton HS. Been living in Green Bay last 20 years. I'm a Chemical Engineer from UW Madison. Worked 5 years in the industry, then moved to FedEx, where I've been working as a computer/automation/programming/troubleshooting/training consultant for almost 15 years.I drive my BMW a lot. See my signature. I like to DIY as much as possible. For the rest, bobdudeman is an invaluable help. Rowleym 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ClassE Posted March 4, 2015 Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 I hear during spirited driving in porches that letting off the throttle mid-corner will turn you into a drifto king. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan... Posted March 4, 2015 Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 Is it everything you hoped it would be?It is Once I get the Gundo exhaust Hack done it will sound much better, and I have a set of H&R Springs in eBay cart just begging to be bought. Right now I'm just trying to decide between a duck tail spoiler, or the gt3 RS wing...I hear during spirited driving in porches that letting off the throttle mid-corner will turn you into a drifto king.That, or you look like a fool and smash your car into the guardrail backwards before you even realize something is wrong..

patsbimmer1 Posted March 4, 2015 Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 Shucks! I knew the engine didn't appear to be in the right place.. If Chris comes here I'll do my best. I love the 996! Has the IMS bearing been replaced yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan... Posted March 4, 2015 Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 Not yet, but I'm planning on having that and the air/oil separator replaced before I start racking up serious miles on it. Should be about a $1500-2000 job. Clutch is in great condition as far as I can tell, but I probably should replace it anyway... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HipMF Posted March 5, 2015 Report Share Posted March 5, 2015 I hear during spirited driving in porches that letting off the throttle mid-corner will turn you into a drifto king. That's called "oversteer" and was phased out sometime in the 70s in favor of "safety". It's also why 4 cylinders is better than 6, but I digress...

I don't know how adventurous you are but from what I have read you can do this yourself with some mechanical aptitude and patience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan... Posted March 5, 2015 Report Share Posted March 5, 2015 I'm not gonna mess with that one lol I'll do the 6 hour H&R spring install, but I'd rather let a pro take a look at my motor and find anything else in there while they're peeking around.

Slowman Posted March 23, 2015 Report Share Posted March 23, 2015 I got a reminder email that I need to log in or face deletion so I'm doing that. I am a guy that used to have an E30 from 2005-2009. It was a ratty '84 5MT 325e coupe but I put a 3.25LSD and some other parts/mods on it. It was a fun car and surprisingly reliable despite being in a constant state of falling apart at the seams due to having many previous owners that did not take care of her. The car burned a quart of oil every 500 miles for 5 years, all while subject to me driving the f'ing WHEELS off that car in all Wisconsin weather conditions. Thing was a champ. I'd like to find another some day but it would have to be a nice one and those aren't cheap anymore. I am from Madison but I used to kick around with a guy named Nick up near Steven's point. He had a boosted 2.7 stroker '88 5MT 325i 4 door.Currently I have an '04 WRX wagon with all the usual WRX bolt on shit. This is my daily. The '08 narrowbody is my buddy's car. My project car (and it's a project, let me tell you) is a 1991 Isuzu Impulse RS. I had this car at the 2012 WI Bimmers meet. This car currently is in storage, awaiting warmer weather and likely some driveline and suspension repairs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HipMF Posted March 23, 2015 Report Share Posted March 23, 2015 Ha! Chris asked me about that car on Saturday. I daily a '92 Geo Storm wagonback (Impulse based). I only rocked the meshies for a couple weeks just for laughs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
