Unfortunately this summer I won't be back in your area full time as I have in the past, I was contracted up in Lancaster for a couple months.

Collegeville is 1.5 hours from Lancaster so I won't be making any meets

You been going to their go-kart meets? I get notifications on FB in the Euros @ Sonic group.

Yea the go karting is fun and cheap... Lancaster is really far from there too, but now i got an apartment in west chester so its not bad at all. We may all do a day at lehigh valley grand prix if you're interested.

That place looks pretty sweet, how would it compare to Arnold's in Audubon?

It apparently makes Arnold's look like ****, but I've never been to LV GP.

Finally installed my motor mounts, trans mounts, front subframe, control arms, baffled oil pan, and a few other things... the Vorshlag mounts are still as hell to say the least. I will post a review after I do an autox with them.

I was reversing into a parralel spot and some jackass hit my front drivers side while i was at full lock. Wheel was pushed into the bumper and car couldn't drive away, it is a sad day today. I was planning on having bimmerworks do the work, unless any of you have any other recommendations...

Its nice to know that a fellow m3 owner/enthustiast enjoys cycling

My next bike will be a fuji or felt road bike.

And a local too

I've worked at a cycle shop for 2 years until September when I quit.

Car is still in the shop from the accident. I have quite a few parts waiting to go on though and quite a few things needing to be ordered. The car will have some major changes done before summer.

Alright, so I finally got my car back after nearly 5 months! I forgot how amazing it is to drive, but I also forgot how much summer tires suck in the snow after going out for a drive last night. As far as what's in store for the coming weeks, I have/am ordering these parts to install and the plan is to have the car setup with a custom 4 pt roll bar (the same one as pictured below), two fixed back seats (still haven't decided which ones yet, but most likely will be Sparco Pro2000 or Cobra Suzuka), 6pt harnesses, valve cover gasket, new Bimmerworld brake lines, rebuild e-brake, decide on how much interior to strip (if headliner and rear shelf are kept, I will recover them in alcantara), brass caliper guide bushings (still can't decide whether or not to keep these or sell them, since I don't feel like constantly lubing them up since the car is still my DD), weld RTAB pockets up with AKG plates, finally wire up my horn in the Personal steering wheel, install my custom delrin shift knob, corner balance, change some oil, put in tons of new brake fluid, change drive belts, order an electric fan setup so I can finally install my new cooling system, order radiator baffle for my MM underpanel, and probably a few more odds and ends, but just stay tuned! The main purpose is to have it ready to drive in some of the local hill climb events this year.

And just because Obioban took this...

And since TC Kline had the damper backordered I switched to air ride
