I nearly cried with excitement to see such a clean E30 M3 in my favorite color, and nearly cried for days after reading John replaced the axle with a used one from a crashed e30Originally Posted by Jon K
I can understand the reasoning if the car was needed in a hurry but if I had a car like that I would want every defective part replaced with brand new OEM components.
I know how you feel Jon K, I tell my customers to come over when we do tuning or high speed, high revs test runs. I know John is your friend so it's a different story, but even with my friends I don't drive their cars hard, just the fear of some unlucky unfortunate circumstance occurring.
Mark D and I were tuning a customers race ready e30 last weekend and we had to do some 7k RPM pulls in 3rd and 4th gear, I was just praying that nothing went wrong while I was driving though I got full permission from the customer.
