It's a fun AND educational place to drop into once in a while, or even hang out. I've gotten VERY firm ideas on what or what NOT to do. lol

I just lost all respect for you. As slush box behind that motor is just wrong.

I have watched what a real driver can do in a 3 series around Road Atlanta. Before that I had no respect for any BMW drivers. I learned that a small subset of them are badass. That same day I learned that my fuel system that seemed perfectly adequate when drag racing was woefully unable to feed the motor on a big road course, but that is a story for another time.

The funny thing is I don't like to dd a manual trans because of traffic, but I go to bike week and hotrod events that are 1/2 mph clusterfucks with nothing but manual trans vehicles. Maybe I just hate myself? Glad to see you have a sense of humor.
