Well boys and gals, here we have it, the MD and Surrounding Areas Summer Installfest 2004.

-Who has parts sitting in the garage waiting to be installed? I know I do!
-Who needs help installing those parts? I know Dcardenas does!
-Who wants to eat some burgers/pizza and down a few beers while installing these things? I know I do!

Why not do it at my house? (PM me for address :shifty) This coming Sunday June 27th at whatever time. I think noon sounds ok? (Dcardenas needs to show up extra early because his suspension will take all day)

Who's down for some random installs and FOOD?!?!?! :eyecrazy:

EDIT


Installs:
Dcardenas-suspension (cancelled :()
Greekm3-brakes and JTD underpanel
Dave is Cool-not quite sure yet :confused: Armrest?
Preppy-AA shift knob, ltw wing
OK Branko-not quite sure yet (there for food)
BoomerBimmer-SSK
Richard-just stopping by to help :)
MWhip: bunch of little stuff ;)


Also people bring whatever tools you have, better safe than sorry. :)

Oh also, as for food, we've got burgers and pizza (delivery, not Degorno's ;)) and Dave is bringing beer. What kind of soda/pop does everyone want? Is burgers and pizza okay? What about hot dogs?

SOMEONE NEEDS TO BRING CHIPS!...my mom bought everything BUT chips, she thinks they're unhealthy :help

I might need my armrest installed, and maybe some control arms, control arm bushings, tie rods, supercharger, and a turbo.

i'll have a jtd underpanel and most likely brake pads all around to do.

nice, i need to buy something for this installfest heh

Beer's on me!

Disclaimer: Beer not actually on me.

Wrong. You meant, Beer's on Nick!

Im in.. Ill find something to install.

I'll be there for an SSK install....Can't get the "bitch clip" out!

Can we respray my car while we're at it?

No, the paint gun is messed up. Both my front and rear bumpers came out pretty rough last night :(

Chris, Sounds good. I'll try to stop by for a few hours.

Boomerbimmer: I've installed a few SSKs before. That Bitch clip IS hard to get off. It's easier with a lift. I can help you out with that.

All, I also have my old stobes from my M that I want to sell. I bought them from http://www.strobesnmore.com/
If you go to this site and click on "Complete Strobe Systems" then "X-Pak/Super-Pak..." I think mine is a 90 watt w/ 4 heads. I'll have to go home and make sure it's a 90 watt system. It's bright as he!!. Chris has seen them before.

I'll sell it for $100. Whoever wants them, I'll drill the holes and install the bulbs for free!! :alright

--Richard

I'm interested. I have a UUC SSK and OE pads/rotors to install.

Hey I have a RTAB tool, and no RTABS. I also have a Spoiler (with the mounting kit and instructions), need to do a wheel bearing and waiting for my RSMs. Is anybody down to help me on this one? I would also like to meet all of you. I can bring beer.

Can I join...i"M in the area and have a bunch of misc crap to do...everything just came in today in the mail :). I doubt i could get to it all but here is my list.

Power Steering Fix
Euro Cold Air Snorkle Intake
Install Aluminum Thermostat Housing and New Thermostat
Composite Water Pump Upgrade
Ground Control Rear Strut Mounts
Ground Control RTAB Shims and New OEM Bushing
OEM Mesh Grill
X-Brace
Velocity Splitter

Ah damn. I need to replace my RSMs, but I will be at an autox on Sunday. What time are you guys gonna be there til?

till whenever we get dave's susp done :help

No, the paint gun is messed up. Both my front and rear bumpers came out pretty rough last night :(

you have a paint gun? sweet! if it gets fixed i'll bring some boston green paint and clearcoat so i can do my car. :stickoutt

I assume NO responsibility if it comes out like shit :nono

i'll have an x brace to install...that is, if john ever gets around to selling it to me.

Are you coming Lacto???

You don't want this guy to come, Chris. He's a fucking freak.

If thats the case, you shouldnt show up either...:confused: ;)

i'll have an x brace to install...that is, if john ever gets around to selling it to me.

Don't you have more important things to buy? :shifty

Paintball.

Oh, while we're on the subject, what kind of beer do you guys want?

I think if you pick up a keg of Sam Adams we should be all set. Either that or Stella Artois.

Richard, Do you have a Rieger rear bumper with the mesh installed? Can you guys help me install the mesh? What tools would I need?

Hammer and nails should do the trick.

Hammer and nails should do the trick.

hmm...i'm thinking a blowtorch would suit better.

I assume NO responsibility if it comes out like shit :nono

think i'll try something else first, and take the car to a shop. prolly better that way. :)

hmm...i'm thinking a blowtorch would suit better.

Or quite possibly, BOTH?

Yeah. Wise choice :)


Hey Carlo, er Dave (I dunno why Nick calls you that) just get some of that Sam Adams Summer Brew again, that ish was tasty!

If you like the way shit tastes. ;)

I'll get some for you but I'm going for regular Sam.

then just do reg Sammy, not Summer Ale

So does anyone know how to attach the mesh?

So does anyone know how to attach the mesh?
lots of hot glue?

lots of hot glue?

This is gonna be my kind of party!!


...Oh, real glue. God damnit.

I might be able to make it. If I do come, then I might need someone to install an armrest for me.

i'll have an x brace to install...that is, if john ever gets around to selling it to me.

That is if someone would just leave a message on my cell....

Is this going to be a girlfriend friendly event? or is it going to be an all dicks no chicks thing?

Eesh, I dunno about that one :dunno Anyone have a tool for this? Cause I don't!


Hey bogdan, sure why not, i think there is plenty of food to go around :)

Hey bogdan, sure why not, i think there is plenty of food to go around :)

I dont know if I'm staying long.. but I want to meet some of you guys for sure. :)

Hey stop by, say hi, it's all good :)

I'm gonna be painting calipers and hubs.
If anyone wants me to pick them up a caliper paint kit, just tell me what color. You can pay me back once I get there. :redspot

Castro: I didn't use the mesh that came with the bumper. That mesh is crap.
I had Kurz do the install. They used a ton of some sort of glue.

Chris, what's your front street like? I may stop by, but I'll have a car trailer so I may not be able to turn it around. :dunno:

front street is a pass through, if you park one way, you can still get out onto the main road going either direction :)

IM me when you get a chance.

Is this going to be a girlfriend friendly event? or is it going to be an all dicks no chicks thing?

I hope this will be an all dick event...

eh, just kidding... :(

IM me when you get a chance.
I'm actually headed out right now, i'll be home later tonight.

sure thing...i think the x-brace is easy too...just bolts right on. If i do the mesh i may as well do the euro snorkel too. Does anyone know if i have to take off the front bumper to install the mesh?

I think you do have to remove the bumper IIRC

How much is it?

Preppy, I think I'll stop by. If that's OK with you. It seems like alot of cars are showing up.

Paul, you're more than welcome to stop by man :)

Post up the address and the time so i can find you. Looks like we are going to have some nice weather on Sunday too. :buttrock

How much is it?


Prob. about 15-20 bucks.

Post up the address and the time so i can find you. Looks like we are going to have some nice weather on Sunday too. :buttrock
I sent you a PM.

If anyone needs my address, let me know and I'll PM/email it to you :)

Unfortunately, due to a recent turn of events, I will not be able to attend this weekend's InstallFest.

Um. WTF. This whole event was for you.

Chris - do you think I can now hop in somewhere?

With what?


Change your sig man. That's not Pelitist worthy at all :nono

Dude, that guy is the epitome of Pelitism. :redspot

I dunno...I just ordered a SSK, tranny mounts, RTABs, RSMs, carrier bushings, and coilovers hopefully soon. But they won't be here by Sunday. :(

So Im gonna hop in officialy with fender rolling and painting calipers...A bunch of diff people can paint calipers if they want to; that way we could do it together and hopefully avoid any troubles.

Is that cool?

PS, I can pick up some caliper paint kits and rotor hat paint.

I have an RTAB tool if anyone wants to do this again in the near future. I need to do mine too but I dont have the RTABS. :(

If you could loan me that...yeeaaaa, that would be awesome.
I'll give you Emma Watson nudes even.

WTF?! Emma Watson nudes? That be fcuked up dude...:nono


I am down for painting my calipers again, mine are black again :(

WTF?! Emma Watson nudes? That be fcuked up dude...:nono

Dude, kiddie porn nudes in exchange for borrowing an RTAB tool? Sounds like a hell of a deal to me.

Get your Pelitist priorities straight: 1. ourselves 2. our cars 3. our dignity/morales 4. wives/SO's.

And plus, us Pelites are dirty old pedo men...we like the underage brothels.

So what color paint do you want? Are you gonna paint your rotor hats/clearcoat your rotors?

there's no point in clear coating my rotors....

I'm gonna do it in red again, maybe, I dunno. Actually I change my mind, no caliper painting for me

Alrighty then...do we have any means to take my wheels off?
Is there gonna be a jack and some stands?
Does anyone know how to take the caliper off?

This should be fun. I will bring some jackstands so you dont kill yourself.

aw you're fcuked man....have you never taken your wheel off before? I have two jack stands....dont worry

Devilbones - thanks man...any idea about the RTAB tool?

Chris - wtf? why you doggin a fellow Pelitist? I've taken my wheel off before...just never the caliper :)

Um, so can I get by with using fix-a-flat to get to your house? It's like 5 miles away...

You dont have a spare? Or do Pelites not roll like that?

I have an RTAB tool if anyone wants to do this again in the near future. I need to do mine too but I dont have the RTABS. :(
are u familiar with how to do RTAB's??

chris-pm me ur addy

are u familiar with how to do RTAB's??
No, but I have the instructions. It looks pretty easy. We might need a sawzall, it shouldnt be too bad. I have seen other people attempt it without the tool and it took them like 6+ hours.

You dont have a spare? Or do Pelites not roll like that?

My spare has a similar, if not bigger rip in it. I'm trying to bring my spare somewhere and bum a tire off of someone. It's not working too cool.

Devilbones, would you be willing to get together with me sometime next week and maybe tackle our RTABs? You should order the RTAB combo from MPACT.

I used fix-a-flat, and this junker tire I got seems to be holding. There are huge bulges in the sidewall though. Is it ok to drive?

Um, any way I can do an oil change while I'm there as well?
I'm gonna stay till about 5:00 or so btw.

Do we have a tool that will unbolt my brake pad form the caliper? I don't know what tool it is...maybe an allen wrench?

Chris: directions? adress?


Buller? anyone? :D

Just follow the BMWs :dunno

Just follow the BMWs :dunno

im coming by after i finish autox.... all the bmw's will be there.

i'll need some directions as well.

Well PM me for directions

I'll be gone until 10pm tonight so I apologize ahead of time if I dont respond to my PM/IM/email right away.

OK, so just to make sure, I'm down for the following...

1. Rolling Fenders (will need some help here)
2. Painting Calipers (will need help to unbolt caliper, but that's it.)
3. Oil Change (will need minimal help to go under car and get to the bleeder screw.)

So that's about it.

I won't make it. I'm going to the BMWCCA autocross.

Well, looks like I will just be painting calipers and rolling fenders. I might just paint my wheels with some wheel paint that I got while they're off the car. Wait...does anyone actually care? Whoops!

So at what time is everyone getting there? noon?

The donkey and the prostitute wont arrive until around 2pm. I am planning on getting there between noon and 1pm.

I plan on being here bright and early...:shifty

You might even go so far as to say you'll be there... now?

Whoa! :eek: As a matter of fact....I am! Talk about being eager!

I'm on my way. :rolleyes:

Chris - what time do you think you're gonna get there. Oh yea, do you know this guy's address?

Hell if I know man, depends on what time I roll out of bed and downstairs...I think most people are rolling in between noon and 1

gonna have a lot of ppl showing up?

Seems so-so....

Let's see, there's:
Potomac
GreekM3
Mwhip
Devilbones
CASTRO
Boomerbimmer
JLee
BDew (if he wakes up)
bogdan
Dave is Cool (maybe)
OK Branko (showing up late due to work)
GoBlue
NYQueenz (maybe, he also has work)

We'll have some fun trying to install things :stickoutt and there will be plenty of food to go around :)

Oh forgot Kapolani too, sorry Russ!

Hope you guys have a good time. I'm still pretty pissed that I can't make it.

Hey...good stuff everyone. I had a load of fun meeting peolpe and putting faces to names, not to mention getting what I needed done.

Preppy - Thanks for hosting this...the food was killer and the atmosphere was chill. Fun!

BimmerBoomer - Thanks for the help with the torque wrench, etc. and the tire. Will mount it tommorrow. Your exhaust was sounding mean as hell. Sorry you cuoldn't get the SSK on...guess the bitches are really bitches and sorry I couldn't fix your CD player.

Devilbones - Thanks for the help with jacking up my car, showing me exactly what the RTAB is, and checking in from time to time to make sure I wasn't messing anything up too badly. Let's tackle them TABs soon...along with my new coilovers :wave:

GreekM3 - Thanks for the help with fender rolling...your car was looking real slick. You never took me on that ride with your FK's

Dave is Cool - let's both watch the post-whoring... :). I wish I had gotten a chance to hear that Rogue up close.

Josh - Thanks for the skateboard pointers and the football tosses. :redspot

MWhip - you had some sick driving gloves, and good taste in mods...Euro intake, splitters and x-brace...all very tasteful

NYQueenz, E36DJ, and all the other guys I met and talked to but didn't have a chance to work with...your cars were looking good and you guys were pretty cool.

Let's keep talking everyone.

Same to ur Potomac......And thanks a lot, I try to keep it clean :), which I can say the same for your whip. Avus is just so yummmmy.

hehe...avus vs. estoril :devillook
