Forgot to Make an Intro

Post by bassboy3313 »

Hello. My name is David and I am from Milwaukee, WI. I am currently a student at the Milwaukee School of Engineering. I am always been a car fanatic and a gearhead. I do everything myself, except for major work like welding is involved (slowly teaching myself how to weld). Here is my car history ....

My first car was a 97 Hyundai Tiburon. i loved this car! the summer before college started I turbocharged it by piecing together my own kit and management. I finally got it done beginning of sophmore year. The second day after it was finished, a squirrel chewed the shit out of my main harness and that was the end of that car, sadly. I ended up parting it out and getting more than I paid for the car and kit, which is pretty amazing.

I then bought a 91 Nissan 240sx s13. This car was a piece to begin with, but was cheap. It was a great runner and got me where i needed to go and then some (drifting along the way). Bad luck struck once again and the car started driving like crap out of nowhere. I was sick of fixing everything and not getting any progress, so i ended up trading it for an 89 Toyota Supra turbo.

This car was fricken quick! I did some work to it like upgraded IC kit and intake, but nothing major. Yet another bad luck situation hit me when i was driving to meet my girlfriend and her family at a restaurant. the head gasket blew, and I mean BLEW!!

That is when I acquired my 1983 BMW 320i. I traded my supra with the bhg for this car. Never thought i would own a BMW, but then again, never thought i would own a Toyota and look at that. This car is fun fun fun. Its got its issues, but nothing that prevents it from getting me from point A to point B.

Now onto the pics!!!

We know how appalling BMWs are in snow! Even with LSD!

My boring car is an MG ZT-T designed by BMW with a chipped BMW Diesel turbo engine- goes everywhere except in the snow= terrible- the WORST front drive car I have ever driven in snow!!

next year was going to fit snow tyres on a spare set of rims (yet to find!)

Good Plan? Best wishes
Regards
