SOLD!
2007 GMC Sierra 2500HD Crew Cab Long Bed Diesel Classic with White Exterior/Black Interior
-177k miles, going up slowly as I still use it
-SLT Package includes front buckets with center console, sunroof, black leather, front heated seats
I have owned the truck since 100k miles and it has been rock solid. Only has had two issues while on a trip over the past 7 years, one was a broken front axle that I could drive to my destination on no problem and an alternator 6 years ago. $80 at a local Advance and I was back on my way. Never been stranded or towed with this truck. We are buying an RV and sold the gooseneck. Debating keeping the truck or not; but keeping a truck on insurance for 2-3x a year of use seems silly.
Modifications:
- Spray in Bed-Liner
- B&W "Hideaway" Gooseneck hitch (flat floor when gooseneck ball is flipped)
- Firestone Air Bags
- EFI Live Tune with DSP5 switch (stock/40hp light tow/60hp eco/80hp high tow tune/120 "race") Includes Exhaust Brake
- MBRP 4" aluminized turbo-back exhaust
- Denali Projector Headlights
- HIDs in Fog Lights
- Retrax "Pro" Tonneau Cover ($1,900 tonneau cover! Aluminum slats can hold 500lbs on top and lock in any position)
- Bilstein 5100s
Significant Maintenance in last 1.5 years
- Front and Rear Brake Pads/Calipers/Soft Lines (right rear brake caliper stuck so replaced multiple)
- All Hard Brake Lines with OEM Teflon "updated" lines (Precaution)
- Front Left/Right Axles (precaution after left one failed)
- Timken Wheel Bearings Front Left/Right (precaution after left one went out)
- AC Delco Power Steering Pump with replaced SS Lines as precaution
- 2x Idler Pulleys/Tensioner and Tensioner Pulley/Main Serpentine belt (idler pulley squeaking so replaced all as precaution)
Cons: There are two. I am offering this up to friends for this price before I fix these two issues, price will go up $2k if the car isn't sold in next month while I am continuing to use it.
1. Paint is peeling on hood and marks on front bumper, I have a full brand new replacement chrome front bumper. Perfect for someone who wants to paint entire front end to look "more modern"
2. #4 Glow plug stuck in head, needs an extractor, too lazy to take it to a shop with an extractor. These trucks really don't need glow plugs, I have started it in -32 degree weather with one glow plug out and it fired up after about 10 seconds.
The interior and exterior aside from above mentioned are in good, but not excellent shape. I threw this ad together very quickly if anyone I know what a good solid truck for $18k in the "unicorn" LBZ truck (No Emissions + 6 speed allison + LBZ motor). Over the next month ill be doing the paint and glow plug once I finish up with the race car and then it'lll be for sale publicly.
PM me for any photos.

Hey all. I really enjoy reading MotorTrend and all of their shows. I'm thinking I want to start collecting older issues and maybe one day have every issue going back to the 50s.
Does anyone have any old issues they want to sell/give away? I'll see what I can find, then eventually leverage eBay.

It took a few months, but I finally got the verification code and can post now.
My name's Noah, I grew up in Seattle, spent a few years helping my neighbor work rebuilding a '65 mjstang which first got me into cars. I've been out to Dirtfish a few times, but since moving to NoVA 2 years ago have moved away from rally.
I've owned/co-owned a few cars, but am down to just one since school has started: - 2000 Mitsubishi Eclipse
- 2001 BMW 325i
- 1991 Nissan 240sx Hatch
- 1992 Miata
- 2009 Ford Mustang (Current)
Currently driving a 2009 Mustang... Yes, the 4.0. Yes, it's slow. It's on eibach lowering springs with 18" GT take off wheels. Running a K&N CAI, SLP Loudmouth Catback, and a Hurst short throw. Planning to move on to something else in the next year or so, just have to find the right car at the right price. Oh yeah, and I hit a deer on my way down to JMU so there's fat dent in the fender.

| The Cart Before the Horse: Spec 3 Build |

Hello all. I should be working right now, but I can't stop day dreaming about the future of this car, so I'll put the cart before the horse and start my build thread.
I've been talking to Simon Kim about Jake's old E36 (95 325i Sedan Sport Package) for almost a year now. Some time at March VIR Jake mentioned his old E36 325i Sedan he had like 30 years ago and mentioned someone in Nasa currently owned it. The way everyone spoke about the car made it seem like a great base for track car and Spec3 has really piqued my interest. As much as I'd like an M3, I don't have the money, nor do I have the desire to constantly tweak my car with aero and other parts, so any class an M3 would end up in would not interest me. I love E30s, but they don't love me and the amount of money it would take to make an E30 just survive the trip to VIR and back doesn't make sense. Spec 3 makes the most sense, no?
So, after bugging Simon on Facebook messenger once a month every month since March, he agreed to let me drive out to his house and look at the car. For some reason, I don't have any pictures, but the car looks pretty good for sitting in his garage for 2 years. We've agreed on a roundabout price, and he's doing a cooling system refresh and replacing some gaskets before we finalize the deal in a week or two. The car has been owned my 3 NASA MA members over the last decade and was maintained by RRT, so I feel good about it. The car will be coming with an old Spec 3 suspension, new cooling system, vanos lines, new gaskets, and some other goodies.
What's a better decision than buying a 20 year old BMW? Buying parts for it before you buy it! You may have seen my safety equipment thread. Thanks to the generosity of some good friends (Kaan, Jim, DJ, Tian, etc), I've been able to scrape together 2 seats, harnesses, and seat mounting hardware.
DJ also tipped me off to a roll bar for sale, which was scooped up immediately, but I found the manufacturer of the bar on BimmerForums and contacted him. https://www.bimmerforums.com/forum/showt...3-Roll-Bar. He completed a new bar from scratch for me in 4 days and is shipping it off tomorrow afternoon.
So what's the plan?
Around Christmas, if the car isn't ready, I'm going to spend a weekend over at Simon's and help get the car ready for me to buy. I'll spend some time around the new year throwing all of the safety equipment in and checking the car over.
Hopefully get the car sorted with brakes and the other necessary things. Sign up for a refrigerator bowl some time in January or February. Then start the car in DE 2 at VIR in March.
I plant to take my time and stick in DE for a few seasons with the car with the plans of hopefully caging it, and really going racing in the future once my career is a little more stable.
I'm still on the lookout for harness mounting hardware, and any other hand-me-down E36 go-fast parts. I really appreciate the generosity of my older race track friends so far. This certainly wouldn't be possible without all of you!
... and yes. I know this is like the third or fourth time I've said "It's really going to happen this time!" I really hope it does work out this go round.
To begin. What things do I NEED to do before doing DE in this for a full season?
I figure probably get shock tower reinforcement plates, and do the oil pump nut safety wire mod?
