That was a bad text to get that night.
Tell me about it. I was thinking you two were out tuning it and all I imagined was one or both of you being busted up. It sucks that I won't ever get to codrive it now. :(

I should have brakes and tires by the next MAC event at least, so if you need a ride then you're more than welcome to join me. Not entirely competitive in BSP, but surely not a slouch either. Maybe it's time for meth injection, cams, a bigger turbo and go play in SM.

Actually I was out that night with him, just earlier. We were working on revlimiter in 1st so it would stay on power... :scared: :(.

I am just glad Ryan is an experience driver. With the power that car was putting down and the conditions the accident happened in, it could have been MUCH worse.

First of all, I'm really glad you're ok.

Speaking from lots of expderience, as everyone here knows, when you crash your baby it just gives you a chance to move up or for at least for a change. Cars are like women, well better IMO, one leaves you and you get another one, usually better. There's plenty of them out there and there's lots of different models to choose from.

Plus shopping for a new car is always fun as hell! Just try to stay positive about the whole car thing, but it sounds like you already rocked the auto-x this weekend so keep up the good work son.

It's on the list, trust me. I want to spend $10K absolute max. A bit less would be better. It might be a bit tough to find a nice M, but I think it can be done right?

First thoughts on potential replacement cars are:

Miata
E36 M3
Other BMW 3 series
Mod car/open wheel
Toyota MR2

Having driven a Miata and a Mini I want to drive a BMW. But first I need to start selling shit and see how that goes. If I can't sell anything, that will affect what I do.

Oh yea they can be found for under 10 for sure. I sold mine for less than 6. :( You should have bought it. I was sick of waiting for a buyer...

^^ Wrong thread. This is Ryan's project thread, not the autocross thread.

Sucks about the car, but really glad to hear you're ok. Good luck with the new car search, it's great that you're already autocrossing again.

You can find a 325i e36 or something similar for a cheap price. Doesn't have to be an M to build it up. ;)
