  If your curious about the background and starting point of the car you can go here: http://www.r3vlimited.com/board/showthread.php?t=162395

  17x7.5" SSR Type C, 215/40/17 Falken RT-615. Wheels are ET 37, so I'm running ECS spacers, 15mm up front and 20mm out back.

  

  

  

  I've got a TMS chip sitting here on the desk waiting to go in, Mtech I wing sitting in the garage, TMS stainless steel lines in the garage as well, Euro trim on the way from blunt, and my calipers and pads for my Massive Street kit on the way from Lee.

  I'll get that stuff done, add some "is" side skirts and a splitter for the lip and that will pretty much get the car where I want it for now.

  Maybe an intake with heatshield and a muffler......................

  sweeeeeeet

  there’s a lot of debate on this subject—about what kind of car handles best. Some say a front-engined car; some say a rear-engined car. I say a rented car.

  Nice looking bimmer. I always liked the 318's.

  He just likes to give people a hard time, it's a sense of humor that isn't for everyone. But then, most don't like the atmosphere that we have over at R3V, but when you realize eveyone is doing the same kind of smack talking you do with your friends and trying to get a rise out of you, you figure it out.

  But he has great prices, great service and he's a true enthusiast. And he's a trusting business man, great guy.

  Blunt made some amends on the mye28 board recently, it sounded like he patched things up with the guys who had a real problem with him. I can understand how a R3V attitude wouldn't work as well there.

  Obviously you have a problem and can't leave it at the door.

  I was just trying to share some pics of my pride and joy.

  I agree completely with blunts first post in that thread. The guy was trying to sell his parts, if you don't like it/think it's too high etc PM, don't publicly bad mouth the guy in his for sale thread unless he is maliciously misrepresenting something which didn't seem to be the case.

  I will say you are now "sinking to that level" by clogging up this thread with this crap. He does 6 figures a year in sales, so I'm sure if you don't want to do business with him, it's no skin off his back.

  Can we drop it now?

  Like I said, just trying to my version of the Holy Trinity.

  I just read that thread, I thought Shawn was the one we were supposed to think was a jerk at first. To continue your example, Keith would never talk to anyone on here like that, because there's nobody here that deserves it. If he talked to some of the toolbags on Miata.net like that, he might lose some sales, but I wouldn't think any less of him :).

  I edited my posts. Nice car.
  

  Didn't mean to clog up your thread. When you sell parts, the internet forums are like being at work, so I personally prefer people who conduct themselves in a reasonable manner. To each his own.

  I agree completely. Some peoplechoose to do business their own way.

  Sorry for my annoyed second post, I tried t politely defuse it the first time.

  Thanks for the compliment on the car! There is alot of time and money in it so far!

  I love when some of the engineers at work question me driving an old car........

  ..........then I ask what their monthly car payment is!

  We've had an e28 in the driveway for at least 10 years now. That era BMW is the pinnacle of reliability and durability in my opinion, not to mention they're quite nice to look at :-). Here's a picture of the old e32, in it's...uhhh...natural composition :-).

  Is that a 10ae miata in the background?

  there’s a lot of debate on this subject—about what kind of car handles best. Some say a front-engined car; some say a rear-engined car. I say a rented car.

  Is that a Chevy Silverado behind the 10AE?

  Thanks for the sharing it does serve as inspiration for my recent purchased '87 325is. My how I do like you updated bumpers and blacked out trim over my chrome accents.

  And now back to the regular scheduled E30ness

  Perhaps he is meaning the 7 series on blocks, which I thought was an E23; or could I be dyslexic?

  That's one sweet E30 you have there.

  Nice ride. Now you've got me wanting a 318 in addition to the E30 325i.
