Do you miss the power of the F82 or does the fun of the E46 make up for it? I've been tracking my F80 and I like the power, but want something a little more nimble and analog.

I have a full bolt on and am adding e85 soon which has been proven to have just shy of 400 crank so the only thing I am lacking is torque. That said, I have reduced a lot of weight. To give fair comparison, I am constantly trading times with SS Camaro, Coyote mustangs, e92m3 and some of the newer caymans etc. So, in short, the performance and or fun factor isn't lacking at all. I find it a bit more manageable thus more fun for me |

The power delivery is linear and analog, almost better than most I have driven. I believe a good tune and being an NA engine with ITB's and an 8000+ RPM engine redline assists with this. I prefer this on track versus the turbo situation as it just simply eliminates one more variable or component for throttle modulation. I have gotten quicker but I have a hard time saying its all due to the mods. I started with a mostly stock car on coils and a section 3. I believe both seat time and mods have improved. My most frequented track I started with an abysmal 2:09 times whereas now I am closer to 2:04's to occasional 2:03's. Last edited by fiveohwblow; 01-07-2021 at 06:38 PM.. |

I bought a dreadmill too - some high tech thing with a widescreen and apparently I can do walks in NZ while on it - a little taste of home. It gets delivered Tuesday. 460 lbs, no install service, and I have a bad back. This ought to be fun.

More Timbermate. Finally (I think) found the finish that I'll go with.

One of my lighting fixtures in the garage finally gave out and I'm getting tired of replacing the fluorescent bulbs. This is the perfect time to convert to full LED. I have six 4ft fixtures, 2 bulbs each, 12 bulbs total in my garage (2 fixtures for each car space, 3 spaces total) Going with these 4 bulb fixtures. I'll still be using 6 fixtures, 4 bulbs each fixture for a total of 24 "bulbs", 7000 lumens each. This will double the light in each car space. Perfect for late night garage work!

Embroidered floor mats for the M2 made by IND. Got them from a fellow board member. Subtle but nice...

We used our treadmill all the time. For hanging clothes and other such things. Walk on it? Not so much.
If you do use it, look into Zwift. They have some pretty cool running tracks. Getting involved in some sort of program is a great motivator.

But also being an engineer, love the technical aspects of learning to fly it, control it and then weave in the still/video aspects to create some fun shots. Generally got it to see where I can take it. I live in the mountains so anxious to get her out for some panoramic shots. |

I *really* wish that somebody would make a device like this that also includes a volume knob and forward-facing speakers and sits under an iMac screen!!!!!

The stock online photo is no good and I'm not taking a picture modeling pants for you all, but ASRV tech joggers for the gym. Have been wrestling with the spend, but considering I'm at the gym 5-6 days a week, it's cold, etc. it was worth it. Expensive, but the quality is well worth the price.
