I properly whooped the car for 50 miles today and it ate it up. I am getting some pulsing in the brakes slowing from 100+ so add brakes to the list of things to get done soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well....it was a really well sorted c5 vette with a pro charger making 8lbs boost. Any vette prior to c7 is an I'll handling pile of fuck. Gives you zero feedback when it's at the edge. Just massive snap oversteer and pathetic weight distribution. Driving this bmw is about 1 million times better than any vette ive driven and there has been a bunch Edited May 21, 2019 by f7ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Driving this bmw is about 1 million times better than any vette ive driven and there has been a bunch I raced mine. Both auto-X and track. Never wrecked. Trying to compare that and a vette is hilarious. But, we all gotta do what gives us a warm and fuzzy! The 540i I bought years ago was for my wife.

I bought a set of TRW M control arms for my old 135. The bmw logo was ground off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You make salsa and mix it with your dick. You have all kinds of mechanical projects. You bought a used car that needs a lot of work. I just don't know where you have the time, energy and know-how to do all this shit. Oh, and you even find time to let " Big Mike " Polubinski saddle up and jam your scrawny ass with his " SPECIAL KIELBASA SUPREME "!!!

M style control arms have a stiffer bushing material. I believe the trailing arm bushings are replaceable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both needed replacement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
