Remember, he wants over $3000.00 on his website. Oh, and the gaskets are HAND CUT. I mean like with an exacto knife. You can see how sloppy they were done. I think he got his skills making parts for JC Whitney. I want this pile of crap out of my house ASAP. Calling him tomorrow. Pictures to follow, when my level of disgust subsides. | be interested to see pics ... i guess kinda like rubbernecking at an accident site. sorry to hear about this L8, but i guess from what had been happening, it's not totally unexpected. i'd check out the guy's DASC kit he has for sale for $2000, sounds like a good deal. __________________ 1996 318ti, California package, 267k miles current mods: bilstein sports, bavauto springs, e30 m3 LCABs, solid metal ball joints, bavauto RSMs w/reinforcements, e30 3.73 LSD & halfshafts, supersprint cat-back exhaust, turner rear sway bar reinforcements, IE poly subframe & RTABs + camber/toe kits, powdercoated e36 32x front calipers, sport mirrors, H&R 28mmF/19mmR sway bars, x-brace, auto solutions SSK w/poly bushing upgrade, BMW CD43 head unit, DICE HD Radio w/iPod integration and "stealth" HD antenna, staggered style 68s, orange electronic TPMS, leather arm rest, JT Designs metal undertray acquired and awaiting install: heated seat kit, cali top switch relo, lumbar support kit, park distance control kit, heated washer nozzle kit, m-coupe rear subframe, trailing arms, differential, and halfshafts, m-coupe front/rear brakes with master cylinder, under hood light kit, mud flaps, rear sun blind, auto-dimming rear view mirror, tilt steering wheel retrofit, apexcone 5000K HIDs with 55W ballasts 2002 X5 4.4 Sport Package, 53.5k miles Current Mods: e46 m3 steering wheel |
