I want to I'm really busy trying to build a house and my friend has b5 s4 build he's wrapping up then I get to dive in and cross my fingers that it only needs a head gasket . But I was able to get my money for te Sonoma track day credited for another event so I'm shooting for lagna seca in July. Kinda glad it happend befor racing woulda been way more of a pain dealing with it outta town. But will def update. Might end up doing some head work since I'm in there.

nah got a new job that actually pays me a decent amount and honestly i have way too much time an $$ invested at this point and we all know that you never get that back and i would feel empty inside if i ended up parting ways so im glad things turned around finacially for me. but desparate times call for desparate measures.

Yeah those cars are awesome! One of my friends here at school is extremely jealous of how cheap you got that. He currently has an e36 318i but wants an e21 or even older. Will the wagon be done for the install day/meet on the 5th?

I should have held off and purchased a wagon instead of the spec.B

Man I really hope so I've been wanting to get together with everyone down there since I got back from ny in the spring and been withouty car since end of May. Was suppose to have my car back on mon. Really wish I knew another mechanic that I trust cuz as much of a slacker as he is he's an amazing mechanic when he is actually working.

Well I go to school with a bunch of engineers and I know there are a few of us that are all into cars. I'm sure if you could get it on a trailer and bring it down here we could put it all together in a Saturday. :spin:

Yeah hopefully he can get it all buttoned back up for you. I'm looking forward to meeting a lot of the Bay Area guys at the install day. Now I will know people in both WA and CA.
