Mr 4500 RPM 09-02-2008, 03:19 PM I might be going to this, M3 is in NB.
SKooT1027 09-02-2008, 04:30 PM I got plans for saturday morning, I'll have to see when those are going to be ending. If they're done early, I'll be there.
BLK540iSPRT 09-02-2008, 05:10 PM Alpince thanks for the heads up.. if u guys will be there after...... 6 ill show up ill be out of work at 530 but work in rockyhill. so i might c you guys?
Ryan328i 09-02-2008, 08:28 PM I'll try and make it depending on the weather. I have no plans yet but I'll let you all know for sure before Saturday.
JDwyer2821 09-02-2008, 09:16 PM I might swing upt there. I will take my 1995 Ti with the s50 swap if I can find a midpipe/ cats. ;) open header is to loud to drive around. If not I will take my 95 m5 which I have not drivin yet this year other than around town (maybe 100km).
Revo Evom 09-03-2008, 12:55 AM I cant, i work all day on saturdays..
Is there the local fairfield tuesday meet coming up anytime soon?
AlpineCI 09-03-2008, 02:00 AM I cant, i work all day on saturdays..
Is there the local fairfield tuesday meet coming up anytime soon?
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
xentor 09-03-2008, 05:23 PM Yeaaaaah, im thinkin ill take my LAMBO... nahhh ill just drive my bugatti.
ericsE30 09-04-2008, 01:32 PM so sturday is still up in the air weather wise. if it does rain, does anyone have a problem with moving the meet to sunday?
Dropped325i 09-04-2008, 04:45 PM so sturday is still up in the air weather wise. if it does rain, does anyone have a problem with moving the meet to sunday?
i should be down no doubt.. either day.. cant wait.. wish i got my new e36 m3 side skirts fabbed & on, but i at least got new rims and loomed my engine bay ;)
dke46T 09-04-2008, 11:04 PM The weather doesnt seem to be permitting and it looks like its going to a bad day out so far. I can make it for Sunday if the weather doesnt hold up for Sat.
See you guys soon.
HotBox 09-05-2008, 01:50 PM if i wasn't working i'd be there
DriveTopless 09-05-2008, 03:09 PM i'm there, either day
bmxcm 09-05-2008, 03:16 PM i might be in.

dke46T 09-05-2008, 11:59 PM Its supposed to rain on and off tom. Hopefully Sunday will be a turnout.
DriveTopless 09-06-2008, 02:21 AM just check back here tomorrow morning (Saturday) for the final say, but I'll guess right now that it will be moved to sunday. Eric and I just don't fully trust CT weathermen
DriveTopless 09-06-2008, 11:29 AM *************************************** The meet is officially moved to Sunday, from Noon till whenever, hope everyone can make it ***************************************

davey101 09-08-2008, 09:15 PM http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v665/Ryan42jo/20080907-DSC_0020.jpg
i LOVE the m coupe from this angle. the m coupe and the m roadster are probably the only modern day BMWs i have major respect for. great looking cars you guys :)
looks like it was fun
JDwyer2821 09-09-2008, 08:03 PM My car was having more of a orange day. Some days its bright red some dark red and some times orange. All depends on her mood. If I had to chose again I would go with the hellrot red again. :)
JDwyer2821 09-09-2008, 08:08 PM 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.
davey101 09-09-2008, 08:17 PM 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.
is there anything wrong with it? :shifty
JDwyer2821 09-09-2008, 09:53 PM 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)
davey101 09-09-2008, 10:16 PM oh god..i have no need or room for an engine...but why am i so tempted to buy it :confused
DriveTopless 09-09-2008, 11:02 PM wow, I really want that engine, mostly for the crank, just wouldn't be able to get the money for about a month
ericsE30 09-10-2008, 02:22 PM 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.
ill take it. ill swap it into my 320.
