    Gonna stick to very shallow angles with this one. And attempt to keep at least 3 wheels in contact with the pavement whenever possible...

    My favorite thread. Ever. I was excited for version 1.0, this is epically better. I might make my first dragon ever to see this, and I've owned a MINI for 8 years.

    The suspension is one thing I want to learn to do on my own. It doesn't take much to knock it out of alignment.

    Tip from somebody who has done it twice... Use masonry cutoff wheels... They don't clog and last longer slicing through that Aluminum. [emoji6]

    Whelp, I just caught up on this thread dating back to before X Mas. What a roller coaster. I like the never say die attitude: you will have success!

    Oh, and beware of inhaling aluminum oxides when sparking up a intercooler: there haven't been many CDC controlled studies on the long-term effects...

    Needed at least one thing from Walmart on the car, to maintain balance in the force.

    Since that went through, I think they should really push the limits and get matching plates. I'd put the plate "VAG9A" on the wife's car.

    It's locked in a freezer! If Indiana Jones can survive a nuclear bomb in one of those, a keg and paint fumes should be good to go. [emoji12]
