oop, any way you can push the time back a few hours and make it a lil later...more ppl might be able to make it then...idk, just a suggestion:rolleyes

ill still come but i might be like 2hours late

ericsE30
09-03-2008, 01:43 PM
there is no real set time. i will most likely be there around 11. if you want to show up early or even later in the day thats cool. ill be happy if only 1 other person shows up.:)

DriveTopless
09-03-2008, 04:16 PM
we tend to get there early, and stay till after dark, there is no reason to change the time of the meet. No one has to come at any certain time, and there is no end time. Eric and I usually stay pretty late, so no worries guys

Oh, and if you show up to lowes after 4ish and see no one, it probably means we are eating somewhere on the pike, just look for us at some restaurant on the pike (the last few times it was Wendy's), or stay put at lowes, cuz we will be returning soon.

lookin forward to this guys :D

o yeah if any of you guys want want a M42 engine with a 5 speed tranny I will sell it for $100. I was hoping to find a e30 318is or e36 318ti with a blown engine for cheap but i did not. I miss having a little e30 to throw around into the corners.

JDwyer2821

Nothing wrong just dirty. I am sur my freinds that drove my ti with this engine would agree it ran strong. I just decided to swap a S50 into the TI. I planned on Supercharging the M42 with no worries of the engine not handling it. DA stopped making the kit. So S50 was my other option. I won't lie I liked the M42 better than the S50 due to it felt l just like my M5s engine (power delivery/ smoothness and just pulls to redline)
