Not yet. Soon enough I hope. Had to push it out. Heh
Ahh, looked again. You're doing steel threaded sleeves, so they can just be welded on. I did aluminum sleeves so they needed to have a shelf made to set the sleeve down onto.Originally Posted by Skatingzooyork
Here is an example, the blue powder coated area is the stock housings, and the rest is the new coilover piece:

that 2002 is about 45 seconds from my parents house i went and looked at that thing the other day. Looks like it had some nice bondo work on the drivers side.
on another note, construction starts Wednesday on the new 30x30 garage.

Ah ok, yeah I've seen those used before too...Ahh, looked again. You're doing steel threaded sleeves, so they can just be welded on. I did aluminum sleeves so they needed to have a shelf made to set the sleeve down onto.
Side thought:
Anyone have a cheap set of tires or maybe even wheels/tires for my e30? They don't have to be great, just usable for a few months.
I have stock bottlecaps w/ crap snow tires right now, so almost anything would be an upgrade!!!

Oh yeah, I know him. I have a wtb listed on there so I bet he's seen it, but I will ask anyway, thanks!
And I just picked up an 91 318is w/ a m5nv swap. It needs some misc things like a front bumper, driveshaft (worn csb), and a ds sport seat; but overall in pretty good cond.

That's a filthy e46... Damn...

Hey guise!
I figured i'd take the time while i'm bored at work to introduce myself. I am fairly new to the BMW scene, i just picked up my first one 4 months ago. A 2001 E46 330i, and so far i love it! I picked it up at a great deal because of the engine work it needed and finally after a couple months of hard work, late nights and a decent hit on my bank account she's finally running perfectly.
I spend a lot of my time over at e46fanatics and just recently started to venture over here.
So hello!
(If anyone has any 5x120 wheels for sale 18's or 19's let me know!)

First off, that M3 is NASTY. Is it local?
hehe, was I really showin off?Saw you today Firebird. Sounded pretty mean... showoff!
I did some knocking on the body panels, all sounded metal but I wasn't very thorough.that 2002 is about 45 seconds from my parents house i went and looked at that thing the other day. Looks like it had some nice bondo work on the drivers side.
on another note, construction starts Wednesday on the new 30x30 garage.

Welcome, congrats on the new car! hopefully we'll see you at some future meet ups.Hey guise!

The m3 is local (Shelburne), he's having some smg troubles at the moment but they should be cleared up pretty soon here.
The garage is going up nice, they took the forms off the walls today. It's 30x30 with 12 foot ceilings and the lift should be in it by the end of the month. I guess you have to wait roughly 7 days after the floor is poured to install the lift. Then you have to wait another 20ish until you put a car in the air.

An old crazy guy lol he knows some mind boggeling knowledge. He apparently inspired leno to love cars. He didn't even think that was kook. Or he didn't show it. Interesting guy haha.
