    Seekins 6 arc barrel

    I would be pretty confident in that working, possibly with some minor tuning.

    SBR/pistol barrel length???

    I wouldn't SBR a 13.9" just because you don't have to. I've got little 11.5" experience but plenty of 10.5" and 12.5" and the performance difference is significant enough that I think 12.5" is about as short as I would go in 223/5.56.

    lightest weight 20 inch 22 ARC barrel

    Sounds like you might as well just order a custom barrel.

    Custom 6 ARC Conversion

    My brain glitched out on me for a second and forgot how bullpups work. I thought you had a pistol length gas system on a 6arc.

    Didn't remove the hubcentric ring, just machined out the unnecessarily small ID of it. The inner hub bore is quite a bit bigger than the outer bore you see in the pics, and was untouched during machining, so both the adapter to hub (71.6mm) and wheel to adapter (73.1mm) are still hubcentric.

    Any F1 racing fans?

    Wait, what? How did I miss this? Easily my favorite track still in F1. That's stupid. Look up the old Austrian track, way before it was the Red Bull Ring. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.circuitsofthepast.com/osterreichring-red-bull-ring/amp/ Those are the types of tracks we need.

    Same. As cool as the M3 is, my mind equates BMW with straight six noises. A nice 325is would do the trick, make the right music and be a fifth of the price.

    I don't know why Red Bull didn't try to get Sainz.

    Not unheard of pricing but it better be an excellent specimen.

    I also had an E30 325e. I loved that car. The first car I owned that showed me the fun in driving a slow car fast. I ended up selling it when the rust got beyond what I could tackle and I've regretted it ever since. Just recently saw an M Coupe in person for the first time. I've always been...

    I recall the trunk floor tearing issue coming up a lot when I was tossing around the idea of E36 ownership. There are a bunch of braces and weld in panels the aftermarket has developed to help address it. IIRC in the later models BMW beefed up some sheetmetal back there too? But yeah, a very...

    The E36 M3 pioneered the use of recycled and biodegradable interior materials. Which sounds great till they start self recycling inside your otherwise mint car. Probably a big contributing factor to a lot of decent cars turning into gutted POS drift missiles.

    That is the general consensus on them, but typically the looks and the engine are the star of the show. It seems like everything around the engine is likely to break or fall off. That's my understanding at least, I've never owned one. Considering looking at an Alfetta GT in the area though..

    I've always heard generally good things about the Twin Spark and Busso engines?

    I've seen some exploded diagrams of the Spica system. That was as close as I wanted to get to it. The only Alfa engine I've messed with was out of a 1960(?) Giulietta. Beautiful little engine, and pretty advanced for the time. All aluminum, twin cam, and thankfully still carbureted. Speaking of...

    Had to double check that this wasn't a necro post from 2009.

    Did I hear correctly that yeti is killing mystery Ranch?

    What are either of those things?

    Got tired of shopping the poor 15" tire selection. Then I got tired of looking for 16" 5x130 wheels that are lightweight. Adapters it is then. Paid an arm and a leg for custom hubcentric adapters and forgot to notice the giant OD of my bearing grease cap. Half an hour at my lathe buddies and...

    I often do. Not in real life obviously, pictures are the best I can do. All Alfa's of the era are quite beautiful.

    What a fantastic shape. Makes me detest the 4 wheel abominations of modern times even more.
