Who wants the best Strut Brace ever Made?

[BimmerBreaker]

So did we reach another discount tier?

[mpire]

Ben who?

Ben Who? Seriously?

Ben Liaw, he's the nicest guy you will ever meet.

He started UUC, when he left, it took a nose dive.

Then he started Rogue Engineering.

I'm obviously a fan, this guy does stuff just because he can, not because he makes a giant profit.

Let me tell you a story:

He made a run of shift kits just for us idiots to put 6 speeds in to our Z3M Cars. They ONLY fit our stupid cars, which are the pretty much the rarest cars BMW has ever made. He didn't sell very many of them, he has a bunch in a bin waiting for more of us to order. Then he sold them for the same price as the other kits. Definitely lost money on us, but you have to appreciate that he would do a custom run for us to do the conversion.

Anyway, he's a good guy so I don't wan't him to do a big run of these things and lose money again.

He sold a total of 5 braces before, so this will be the last hurrah of the Z3 braces.

Thanks for the history lesson.

Since you are in Florida, I thought it might be Ben Sipson, the guy that made the rollbar for my car.

Does he still have any of those?

I'm "obtainable shift linkage" away from 6 speed swapping one of my Z's (alright alright, I ALSO need the driveshaft shortened... but I have the trans)

[Jamesons Viggen]

I've worked with Ben before when I had my F30. I've also got RE parts on my car now such as his engine mounts. I also like busting his balls on FB. As I told him there, if this winds up being sub $400, I'm in.

[Pat Gautier]

Ok, I’m ready. Let’s go. What’s next?

I just want this piece because f**k John Mason.

[Serena1]

Any further word on this strut brace purchase?
If we are proceeding, what is the final cost in US$?
Presumably all will be black powdercoat - or are there options?

[golgo13]

BimmerBreaker tells me group buys take forever?

[BimmerBreaker]

I didnt say forever I said anywhere between 1 week and 19 years

[fmcfad01]

I didnt say forever I said anywhere between 1 week and 19 years

So roughly 1 Sunkenpods unit of measure.

I gotta follow up on this. I sold my house so I have been packing and trying to move 4 coupes, 2 trucks, and enough car parts to build at least 1.5 more cars.

I didn't realize I had so much stuff. Wow.

sounds like a nice garage sale is in order.

If you understood the scale of the issue, you would understand how daunting it is just to catalog everything.

I just spit out my coffee.

Good thing I didn't cut a hole my dash yet for anticipation.

[mpire]

I am actively working on this. I thought the sunken pods were done when I installed the Projector Z into Zoran's Coupe.

[ProductUser]

So roughly 1 Sunkenpods unit of measure.

Now that's funny!
