My first time trying to bring back a cars paint, still working on it but thought I'd throw up some photos since it'll probably be another month before I finish it.

Picked up an air orbital and some pads. No clue on products so I tried a Maguire's cutting compound stuff.

Taped a line on the back end, pretty noticeable difference.



More progress


One all-over pass completed with the cutting compound.



I'm sure it'd make Dan cry if he looked at it, but I was pretty impressed on the transformation so far.

Think there's some other products to get next so we'll see what happens.

Hey all you Bimmer fans out there! This Saturday August, 2 is the fourth annual Bimmerfest at Cal Ripkin Field in Aberdeen, Maryland. Aberdeen is just North of the Baltimore Metro area on Interstate 95. Every year this event gets bigger and bigger. Weather willing there should be a record turnout. I will be heading up Friday, it should be an awesome show!

Hey all, I'm asking this for a friend. What great shops are there that have racks for corner balancing and race alignments? Also, places that allow people to use a lift at?

looking for a cheap seat for my iRacing setup. Something with mounting rails of some kind still attached would be ideal.

Out walking the dog and I saw this m3 with mm sticker on the back. Could be somebody's old car? Also had some Asian lettering on the side.

Looks like a pretty high level overview of CANBUS poking around but it's an interesting read, and free:

Jake made me a Full Admin this morning, and while still drunk on my new-found power I added the code to support embedding Youtube videos. So here's whatcher gonna do:

Step 1:

Find a youtube video.

Step B:

Copy the video ID. The thingy in the circle for the technically abstinent among us.



Step Tres:

Click the little youtube button on the post page. Like this.



Yo Dawg I heard you like to post so we put a post of your post in your post.

Step Quattro:

Paste the Video ID you copied way back in step 2 between the little [youtube] tags.

Boom!

Pretty simple shit, but I figured I would provide a little tutorial as I'm pretty sure it won't work if you try to use the full URL or the youtu.be shortened URL, it has to be just the VideoID.

I just purchased a Hyperdrive slot. Who else is going?

Edit: For once all the cars in the Hyperdrive will kill my car. This shall be a fun one indeed.

complete with limited edition zombie MM sticker!
