Yep, no point. Although I'm hoping that the 135i having been ceramic coated will help with the resale/trade-in.

I'm having bad thoughts since there is a local dealer with a new '18 base Mustang GT for WELL under MSRP like, nearly $20k less than a Base GT PP2 car. That's a whole lot of leftover change to build as I would want.

do it. DO IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm loving mine, even though it's not an 18 like I wanted, but couldn't pass up a minty clean whipple car.

No ragrets

AHHHhhhhhhh, so that's what you picked up! DETAILS! PICS!

Yeah, they have it advertised below $28k. So I'm betting I could get it for even less than that. I'm trying to be honest with myself about going to the track, I probably won't. A nice stereo and Recaro's are definitely something I want though. We will have to see, I need to go drive one. But I don't want to pull the trigger until I've driven a '19 Miata.

I know they are at opposite ends of the spectrum.

No, it was more thinking out loud that if I didn't have a car for awhile, I could pay some stuff off more quickly. Mainly I'm bored with the 135i in stock form and I'm not going to put any money into fixing it's weak area.

We could just not go out and not buy nice booze and I could go buy a new Vette.

Chuckled at this while at work, reminded me of local subarus I see at meets.

I started tearing into the backing plate replacement yesterday. Lucky me, the long bolt on the lower knuckle is seized. What methods have you guys have success with? I sprayed it with PB blaster and then made a home brew to soak overnight. Next step is getting an air hammer.

Heat and beat! Yeah baby!

Do yourself a favor and order new bolts and nuts now. I'd also advise some sort of stainless steel bottle brush or whatever to clean the bore for that bolt in the knuckle.

I'm on a mission to replace all the rubber in the suspension in mine so I know this is coming for me. Ungh. I'm just hoping mine isn't nearly as miserable, becausecalifoirniacar. :x: God speed and good luck sir.

stratosteve 10-13-2018 06:35 PM

Combination off of letting it soak overnight and beating the shit out of it, I got it out. What a joke. It was stuck on the two lateral arm bushings.

There is still a lack of supercharged Coyote pictures in this thread.....

You should probably wash it if you are going to take pictures of it.

I like my cars like you like your men: dertay :D

I'm always picking on you because your cars are always so clean compared to mine, especially under the hood.

z31maniac 10-26-2018 11:27 AM

Very, very nice. I'm still not sure what I'm going to do. I may have a buyer for the 135i out in California, I just need it to stop raining so I can actually get it cleaned up and take some decent pictures of it.

There is also a guy here that specializes in Exotics and super clean/low mileage cars like mine. I'm going to try to go run by there this weekend and see if we can come up with either him buying the car outright, or selling it on concession for me. If it makes $$$ sense of course.
