I expect it to be in the car and running by Sunday morning, you better get to work. LOL, I still remember at the last meet you were like "Man, my dad will never let me get a swap." I guess he changed his mind, eh? lol. So sick Ced, I can't wait to go for a ride. Let me know if you need any help I'm only a few mins away.

Also, M50 mani, 3.5HFM, S52 cams, shark, etc. Get to it!

BMW_Hatchback 04-03-2009 12:44 PM

crap! I've got to hide this thing somewhere before interrogation begins! Dave, its going to be nuts, so many people are trying to join the fun, so heck yeah come on through. I rather have 1 true knowledgeable guy there instead of 10 knuckle-heads. I may start in May after graduation.

Maverix 04-03-2009 10:41 PM

Wow this is going to be so cool after it's done!

BMW_Hatchback 04-06-2009 01:56 AM
