Flew in Friday afternoon and picked the e12 up...Made it home at 230am
raced a late model STI in wisconsin after badgering him for miles .. He wanted nothing to do with me after looking at the car as he didnt want to waste his time Im sure.. but I kept after him.. We finally went from a 30 roll and I smoked him. Got pulled over for speeding and loud exhaust at 100am.. Nice cop... Let me off .
Car is a beast and Jake did an amazing job. It feels very balanced and handles great with all the new suspension and big sways. Id highly recommend Jake if youre looking for a swap of any sort,...

No way I'd want any part of a Sexually Transmitted Infection, but to each his own. :laugh:

Congrats on the work done and best to you as you move forward with the 1st 5er.

I think Steve needs to start a punchcard system for your customers; after spending $xx you get a ride in the beast. After spending $xxx, you get to drive it. :haul:

Congrats on finishing & delivering the project, Jake. Here's to many more swaps. :beer:

Cant quit grinning driving this car. It just doesnt seem right.
Pulled all the doors apart and lubed and fixed some window issues. I scored mint door panels out of a 50k mile junkyard e12 in PA. They are perfect so im installing those. Installed an e28 sport interior just before I dropped the car at Jakes... Brandon is shampooing the carpet this morning and we are installing a decent stereo. Im debating cutting a coil. Its on Spax now. Im going to pull the rear fenders as its squatting under hard acceleration and shredding the rear tires. I can pull them a bit .. Id like to have the car an inch lower so I can pull off a set of throwing stars Im pulling off my M3

It's the wire for the vehicle detonation system.

Just in case Steve needs to destroy all evidence and get away clean...
