Folks,
I'm on a business trip beginning June and I would like to get an idea if there are any car shows / meetings in that area. Also I would be interested to see some junk yards having E21...
I'm looking to buy some 3.9 LSDs and have them shipped to Europe.
Maybe a meet and greets of E21 drivers?

290 degree regrind
Port matched intake with '89 325i wiring harness
#19 Ford injectors
Custom J&E pistons - 10.5:1 estimated
