Have a caliper that seeps, so I took the v8 e30 out to stretch its legs to see if it's fixed. Even when its annoying, its pretty damn fun.

V8? Picture?

Its an ls3 with a cam, throttle body, and headers. Its really stuffed in there, no more power brakes for me. I dont have a good shot of it but I do have a dyno sheet

T56 magnum, wide ratio, 3.73 rear. I have managed 12.0@120mph with it.

Very cool. When I was a younger lad, I was a BMW dealer tech. Early to mid 90's. They were so easy to work on and fun to drive. I've always wanted a 325is. They are unfortunately stupid expensive these days.

Very few cars are perfect motoring but these are pretty close

This is my 4th of these lol, they used to be cheap. However they are a lot of fun.

Dude at work keeps trying to sell me his 325iX. Pristine, been meticulously maintained by this dude and his friends for like 30 years. If it weren't for the fact that certain iX parts are legit unobtainium, I might even consider his $13k asking price.

wanna send me his #?

Yea the IX is a cool car but theres quite a few different parts on there compared to the rwd versions.
BaconNPotatoes@reddit
Everything used to be cheap lol.

LS swap. It's perfect for these cars.

Looking clean, my man. I've been enjoying a couple commute days per week with mine. Just mounted up some KW coils and she rides a lot better.
