A friend of mine has a trackday E30 M3 that sits criminally low. He likes to drive it to and from trackdays, and since norwegian roads suck ass he combated the problem by going the dry sump ruite|Proper stance and stretch = An acquired taste|

I helped him getting it installed, and let me tell you it is a pain in the f**kin ass.
Cos unless you get a hold of a genuine racing item, if they even make that for the type of engine you might have, you just get a reservoir, tubes, pump, control unit, etc. And you have to set it up and make it work on your own. And fabricate your own plate to swap for the original "bucket" sump.
But on the plus side, his engine has never starved on oil since installing the dry sump, and his entire sump is now located above the crossmember.|Proper stance and stretch = An acquired taste|

I'm still safe at 23.25...though Hillsboro Rd. nearly killed me last night during the storm. Damn construction.
Sweet baby Jesus...

Did that when I was doing some rain drifting around a roundabout. I ran out of skill and bumped into the curb. Didn't realize it was borked until about 2 minutes after than when I was a mile down the road. The stain in that parking lot is still there. I rock a skidplate now because I don't want to go through that again, luckily the M42 is 2 piece and doing the bottom one is hella easy.Wut?

I'd prolly be on numer 15 if it weren't for my skid plate:
