My Intro

[madman23]

Hey everyone,
I'm Jake. I'm 24 years old. I am a Navy Aviation Machinist Mate, or just call me a mech either way. I get to work on Helo engines during the day and cars at night and love every minute of it. I am originally from Jersey but down here in Virginia for the next few years. I will be married as of next friday and she understands i love my E30 more than her. Haha. Just kidding.

Onto the fun stuff. I have an 88 325ix with Ground Control Coilovers and camber plates, stripped interior, small cat+small muffler= ubber loud, custom front splitter and dive planes, and some other goodies. This is my first car and my baby.

Then onto the other toys. My 95 M3 coupe track rat and my 97 M3 sedanthat was a track rat now going more show but will still be used for both. Both have: roll bar, stop tech bbk, RE exhaust, TC Klien coilovers, Vorshlag camber plates, and some other goodies.

Welcome! Alpine White and Avus. Nice combo there. I love the E30 too. What spoiler do you have on the Alpine sedan? Is it the E39 M5 one? I have one in my garage for my Arctic sedan, but haven't put it on yet.

Welcome. Love the line up, especially the e30.

Great looking cars. Welcome to the forum. Personally, I think the blue tape on the E30 is pretty funny! :rofl

Great garage. Digging the e30. Wish my first car was cool like that.

[echo46]

Damn, I wish I still had my e30. God's chariot, right?

Jake, welcome. Glad you made it over. Your technical expertise will be appreciated here for sure. I told you in the parking lot I used to own an iX. Here she is.

And since you're a superior officer, I'm guessing you have the pull to make it happen. ;)

Thank you for all of the welcomes and compliments. Cant wait to get to know the forum and everyone on here. Ill try to help out anyone I can and if I dont have the answer I will try my best to find it.

Nope. Thats just the M3 lip with a custom lip on it. I used to do that for fun, make spoilers and diffusers and what not. I made the dive planes and front lip on the E30. Started working on a rear diffuser for it too. Now if I could just get a wind tunnel. Haha

Just a roll bar. In NJ you cant have a full cage in the car.


Jake, welcome. Glad you made it over. Your technical expertise will be appreciated here for sure. I told you in the parking lot I used to own an iX. Here she is.

Thank you sir. Your IX looks so clean. Should have kept it, have to get you into another one.

How did you guess that? HAHAHAHAA


Nice!

Unfortunately I just got news that I will not be here :( I wish I could though. Take lots of pictures for me.

I meant the rear spoiler. Haha sorry, I should've specified that.

[madman23]

E39 M5. Fits on there perfectly and very easy to line up.
