Hey guys,
I haven't posted in a while... The funny thing is I spoke to Steven this morning as I was taking care of a mix-up at the BMWCCA... Btw, great talking to you Steve.
Anyway, I hope everyone is doing well...
Here's a couple of the most recent pics I have on the H3. It's been sitting in my shop since late August... due for a rebuild as I blew a head gasket at a track day... I'll have it ready for the new season... __________________

Great to hear from a good old friend again!  Missed you at the BAV show. Love to see some more pics of the Hartge ti! How's Montreal treating you? Ken | | | | | 03-11-2011, 03:11 PM | #11 | | Senior Member Join Date: Apr 2005 Location: Great White North! Posts: 701 |
It's great to hear from you all...
TiFreak - It's good to be back...
Wolferj - I almost picked up an E34 M5 this summer, but thought about our winters up here in the and went with an X3...
Platanos - How are you? It's really been a long time... Yes, we still cater to all BMWs... Didn't you sell your ti and buy an M3?
Marv17 - The last dyno was for 197 @ the crank. The spoiler is definitely a rare find.
I did a lot to remove weightwithout gutting the car; replaced airbag steering wheel with quick release hub and custom Momo cf steering wheel, passenger airbag removed, front seats replaced with Recaro SPA (Driver) & OMP comfort (Passenger), spare tire tub removed, straight through exhaust( cat and resonator removed), OZ racing Alleggerita HLT 17 x 8.5 wheels (16.7lbs each)+ Conti extreme DW (20lbs each) for track days... I,m sure there is more, but I can't recall... I' ll add some pics first chance I get...
StealthBimmer... buddy, how are you? I haven't made it to the S 'n S in 2 years... '09 with the arrival of my Son and last year with the blown head gasket... __________________
