I LOVE my E46 M3....with that said, haven't had to work too much on it yet so we'll see how long that love lasts ...on the other hand my saturn cracked it's radiator on Tuesday, by Tuesday evening I bought a new radiator, front rotors, brake pads, and 02 sensor for $217...radiator is designed to be held on by one screw, condensor with two, easiest car I've ever worked on, RIP Saturn company.

Well happy turkey day guys!! After stuffing myself til I almost exploded, I decided to swap my stock shocks and struts for the tokico blues I have. Well the weird thing is the factory rear shocks were perfect! The weirder thing is they say Tokico system by Dr. D Carbon. And the even stranger was the fronts are oil instead of gas struts. Oil EVERYWHERE! Lol. I thought only SA had oil shocks. Hmmmm. Well one side down, one to go. Also got my SSR's mounted on the rear and man, didn't realize how sexy they could be!! Pics to follow.

damn right josh sounds great!

andre, where the pics at?


on a side note, i need some money, so i'm trying to sell a few things i got laying around i've got a FEW Pioneer car stereos, in box with remote and harness (some may be missing the little install screws but not hard to source out and sometimes not needed also 3 of them missing harness). prices range, most of them have ipod/usb control/mp3 capabilities, auxilary inputs, and one of them has bluetooth control for your phone. prices between 20-100 (negotiable) let me know if you're interested.

Umm, haven't decided yet if I will it's just I don't want two project cars and I can DD the M3 without any issues...rx7 has been collecting dust for awhile and it doesn't deserve that so I'd like to find it a better home in the future if things stay like this. We'll see...it's not on craigslist or anything just yet.
