Sorry for no updates...The pass 7 months Ive been building a buddies Camaro and doin a lot of side work and house repairs but while doing all that Ive managed build a 99 Camaro with a stock 5.3 and gt45 turbo just to beat the streets to keep me happy in the race car dept. As far as the BMW I still have it and am ordering parts for it here and there. Got a custom QTP 9" for the e46...as far as the drivetrain Ive changed the build some...sold the 370 and gonna use the 5.3 and 4l80 out of the Camaro when the time comes to swap it over. Gonna use a pt91.5...maybe a forward facing setup to idk yet....things will start to happen soon.

Shoulve went down to your local praxaire or something got some dry ice.

Lay it on floor, drink 3 beers, walk back in with hammer, smack floor, Tar shatters, vacuum or scoop up

Drink more beer

Ive never used dry ice...but I think JAX has tho on one of his mustangs but not sure tho. Its not really sticky after it cools down. Im not worried about it...carpet will stick better lol

WOW, i'll get to this... almost a year later lol.

Sorry i never saw this.

In my last 2 of 3 cars i did this.

RX7 we peeled it up and left all that black residue on the floor boards and such.

Im almost positive that when we did the dry ice method, it did not and the floor was actually pretty clean afterward.
