    Default Do you rate stock cars?

    I'm a stock car freak. I've been the same with houses that I've restored. Without taking anything away from my admired friends on this site who modify their cars, are stock cars rated by the membership? Do you have to make mods to gain acceptance? Is it OK to keep your car stock? Who owns the most original car? My mind is open, fire away!
    Cheers

    wingman......is that a blacked-out kidney I spy?

    I believe there are plenty of stockers in the club. My 525im has only seen a suspension overhaul (eibachs/boges) and some minor cosmetics (clear corners, red tails, blacked-out shadowline). Oh, and the cd in the rear arm rest.

    Keep yours stock, maybe we'll need one as an example in weny years

    Default oops Burno's F/R inserts

    in upper thrust arms and rear sub frame bushings. Mainly using them to gain time before replacing thrust arms and rear sub frame bushings.
