PCD: 2013-2014 Till We Break It Edition
What's funny?
Are you laughing at my extensive mechanical skills or the fact that fixing up an e90 isn't exactly as simple as fixing up an e30?
I would love to buy something cheap when he's 12-13 and spend a few years replacing errthing and getting it safe for him for when he's old enough to drive. In reality, it would be something simpler than a computerized German car.

Less in the summer, equal or more in the winter [than 93]. More power, better mileage, lasts longer. Easier to tune, less volatile and the list goes on. After having diesel, it's hard to go to gasoline. If they mainstream high revving diesels, we might actually catch on in this country.

Anyone interested in investing into the TST Spring meet sponsor booth?
It's $400 and we get a name on all the Flyers and Ads
we get space to set up a tent and do whatever we want (legally)
We could make up a funny name and have it show up on all flyers like "Dan Kelly's Pecs are bigger than my wife's motorsports" and have a tent with a couch and tv

I've been told by some buddies on the manufacturing side that there's a race to figure out how to make a dual purpose alternator/motor enabling auto shut off/auto turn on with electric assist to 10mph. VW took it a step further by triple complicating things like they always do by having 3 motors (1 diesel/2 electric) in what looks to be a 2014. I don't think it will be too long before we start seeing the American cars/trucks have electric assist start by way of a new alternator/motor in order to meet the 2025 EPA guidelines.

That's a good idea. I doubt I'll be very competitive anyway, but it's all about getting out there and getting more experience right now. Even so, I'll only be able to make it to the WFC events since I don't get off work until 8:00 AM.
what kind of hours do you work?
