Well, its that time again to round up the bimmers, light up the grill, and grub out. PJ has graciously offered up his place for the location, and I, back due to popular demand, will be manning the grill. So, here are the details:

Menu: The meat will be decided upon once we all arrive.

Bring $7 to pitch in, and any other drinks/snacks you want. Alcohol is allowed, just remember, you gotta get your ass home somehow, so be safe. We may ride out to Harbison afterwards, or play Enthusia/GT4, so bring your memory cards.

How far of a drive from charlotte NC? I might be able to bring 5-6 m3's down with me...

1-1.5 hours depending on your driving style. And tell ///MDex to come too, I want a ride in the S/C Penis Mobile! :buttrock

Yeah, bring down those Charlotte folks! It's not that bad of a drive.

PJ, parking isn't a big problem is it? Will your neighbors be cool with us parking in the street? I'm gonna invite another M3 guy, I'll let you know details.

I'll be there if I get some directions, and what??? Ya'll aint got no Xbox's so I can whoop up on ya in Forza?

There is a school about 2 seconds from PJs house, so we can put cars there if there is a lack of parking. The is PJs driveway, the street, the neighbors driveway across the street (maybe). So we will figure it out.

I'll be there if I get some directions, and what??? Ya'll aint got no Xbox's so I can whoop up on ya in Forza?

PM Me or PJ for directions. And we have an ongoing battle with GT4. Once its resolved, we can look to other battlefields. Im waiting till summer when I can drag you all to a game of paintball. :devillook

Ohhh paintball, sweet. I got a gun that needs an inline regulator, maybe you can help. As for GT4 I've played 3 a bit so I think I can be competitive in the exact same car against ppl. I'll PM you for directions.

What kind of gun? I'll be happy to work on it.

Ive gotta clean mine really good and then my bushmaster needs a new circuit board.

BTW. EVERYONE PLEASE REMEMBER. IF YOU HAVE NO MONEY, YOU GET NO FOOD!

It's a Dragun "The One" gun. The first time I put CO2 on it and tested it I fired a few balls thru it and obviously froze the regulator so now when I pressurize it it blows out all the gaskets. From what I read it's a wierd thread pattern also. Unfortunately I put a whole bunch of money into it to only test fire it once and it broke. I'd love to actually get it working again.

First rule...CO2 sucks. Shoot nitrogen. It heats up when compressed and will never freeze your gun. If you want, I can meet up and take a look at the gun, or you can bring it to the meet. I need to get my tanks refilled so I can test fire the guns, but its no problem.

I'd really like to get back into PB if I had someone to go play with. Its more fun playing with someone you know as you can coop together on the fields.

IM me on AIM at XvSlim if you wanna talk this over more or just shoot the shit. Work is slow, I have nothing better to do than surf and chat. :stickoutt

What da deal Columbia Bimmers?!! Put me down for da grillin. I'm also gonna see if Maurio can show up with his M3. Looks like we might have a huge turn out if those NC M3s make it! Can't wait.

List Updated

We're doing the "pitch in $5 to cover expenses" thing again?

Ok, here we go:
-bread
-meat
-seasoning/condiments
-chips
-drinks
-plates/napkins/silverware
-charcoal

Figured a checklist might help us remember everything this time...

I'll bring some chips.

We are doing "pitch in $7" this time. I think PJ is gonna pick up everything and its gonna be a pay him back gig.

10 people x $7 = $70. Those are some 'spensive burgers. lol, I'll offer $5, but if no one else shows up, I'll raise it $2.

Good idea. That way PJ can marinate those steaks and burgers. I'll kick in 7.

You forget the cost of charcoal, the drinks, the ice, seasonings, the bread, the napkins, plates, ect that PJ has to supply.

Where else can you eat steak + extras and a drink for 7 bucks?

:lol

I got the napkins, charcoal, ice, and grill . . . lots from a grill out I had for my cuzo's wedding. I can pick anything you guys need in advance. . . . The grill WILL be lit and ready around 6ish

For parking. . .we can use my driveway, the strip in front of my house, the driveway across the street, the strip across the street . . . I'm gonna park my cars in the back yard . . .

The more the merrier . . .

I got GT3 also if you wanna go OLD school :D . . . but they are more Bimmers in GT4 . . .and mad crazy phat driftin yo in Enthusia . . .

Awesome, so 6ish it is on the 14th. Exxxcelent!

Hey Dustin, I got it down to 12sec. now.:buttrock

:lol

Miguel . . . I want my M to sound your or Mario's . . .

You have Borla, right?

Mine sounds like a tin cup :( my E36 325is sounds meaner . . . .

I'm gonna test out a mangaflow on it :devillook

Supersprint!

" OEM

Mangaflows are about the loudest you can get. So long trips it can get kinda old to a lot of people, especially passengers.

Supersprint is a quiet exhaust. It only makes slightly more noise than OEM on WOT.

Eisenmann is the way to go. Ive heard a few and love it and it is what will be going on the Z.

Here are some clips:

Video 1 - Race Exhaust Flyby (http://www.eisenhaus.com/install/e36_e6[1].avi)
Video 2 - Race Exhaust (http://www.eisenhaus.com/install/E36M3DTM.wmv)
Video 3 - Race Exhaust Pull (http://www.eisenhaus.com/install/e36_e2[1].avi)
Video 4 - Race Exhaust Takeoff (http://www.eisenhaus.com/install/e36_e4[2].avi)

Its super sexy, and their exhaust are top notch. They make exhaust for Lambo, Ferrari, Jag, Maseratti, Porsche, and more. They know there stuff.

Eurosport Design has the 2x76mm Tip Racing Exhaust for the M3 for 739.00
http://www.eurosportdesign.com/e36_exhaust.htm

Thats my vote, all day long.

Glasspacks for the win

Glasspacks . . . Maybe for the V8 ;)

Eisenmann sounds sexy . . .but $739 is not . . .:) I'm a poor college student remember . . . That $700+ could go into a secret motor I'm working on ;)

Unless you are donating. . . . .
:lol

I may have to invest in a welder and perform surgery on the OEM exhaust . . . .I'm gonna need to learn anyway to fab some stuff for the E36 325is and the secret motor.

The Borla make me happy. It sounds great inside my car and out. People say they can tell when i'm coming up the street. Doesn't sound like a riced-out civic, sounds like a real car. If my passengers don't like my sound, #*ck 'em. They shoulda taken a ride in the civic.

Actually, I've never heard my exhaust under load from anywhere but the drivers seat, so I have no idea how it sounds outside the car. I mean, it sounds great going under bridges and through tunnels, and it's most definately louder that stock. However, I'm missing two of your cylinders, so I don't know what kind of difference those would make to the exhaust note.

I am sure one of us would volenteer to pull some donuts in it so you could hear it from a distance, cause you know you would want to hear it under load, not just cruising by:devillook shall we draw straws???

Ive seen eisenmann exhaust up close, they have SUPERB build quality. The price is right around the cost of supersprint and other high quality exhaust companies.

Glasspacks are not going on the V8. We are gonna run straight pipes off of it with dual side exits.

Dustin, add Maurio(///M3) and Brent(3 series) might come also.

:lol

Weren't you the one just talking about loud exhaust and passengers. . .

I think dual sides would be cool :devillook

I was looking at the current heat shielding used and I think we can fab up something close to it for the dual sides :D

Thats for a DD car. This will be your weekend fun/track car, so its okay.


As far as heat sheilding, I had another idea. It will be a DTM car style sideskirt where the back section is inward toward the exhaust. I will have to get your some pics, its hard to explain.

Trust. . . I WILL drive that as a DD :D . . . and you know I would. . . .

I think I know that you are talking about . . . we can shoot flames out the side skirts . . .

I'm looking at a way to re-route the fuel and brake lines that run down the driver's side of the car. Erik just moved his to the other side of the frame rail . . . . I won't be able to do that since we are looking at doing side exhaust. . . .but we might be able to run it down the trans tunnel . . . .hmmmm

Fuel cell inside the car and run the lines internally for fuel. Or cut a hole and run the lines internally from the stock tank. Brake lines should be able to go down the tunnel.

:lol

Someone is thinking race car. . . .

I'm thinking car that can race. . . .LOL

Where is the spare going to go . . . ? LOL

Well in order to get the side exhaust to work, your back seat is gonna be damn near useless. So I figured if it came to it, back seat area would be decent for a fuel cell. If not, you can run the lines from there, its no big deal. 2 seats are plenty, trust me.:redspot

You and your obsession to lighten a car. . . .

Spare. . . what spare. . . .

:lol

We could do it like Ford did the 1999 Cobra R . . . :devillook

Is that what you are thinking?

Edit: You know this thred is supposed to be about the Grill and chill . . . I'll start another thread for this one.

Just take it to IM, or call me. I have nothing to do tonight, so I can stop by and we can discuss.

dont run fuel or brake lines near the tranny, that leads to bad bad things

Rubber lines yes....braided lines, its not a big deal, just make sure they are attached and secure.

until that big secret engine grenades a clutch, or overheats the tranny

until that big secret engine grenades a clutch, or overheats the tranny

Thats why you build things right the first time. Its not hard to overcompensate and get a clutch rated for more TQ than you make and properly maintain and build your tranny. Besides...the BMW trannies are well built enough for any amount of power PJ wants. Ive only heard of failure of a tranny from power at around 1000 rwhp. I dont think PJ is aiming THAT high.

Well . . . . :lol

No not that high . . .

It will be probably around 300rwhp/300rwtq in NA form . . . about 550rwhp after FI :devillook

Majority of the fuel and brake lines will be hard linesthat pass beneath anyway.

I do agree that we have to isolate it from heat . . . .that won't be too hard since we will be fabbing a heat shield.

Good looking out though ;)

Right, dinner...so we're grilling out? ;)

Si senor

Man i must be tired. Posted in the wrong thread. This is what i said-


"It's gonna be on and popping at PJ's Place. PJ how are things looking? Liquior, women, games and racing. It is all set? What cha need?"

:lol

I got the games and racing. . . .

Liquor and women optional . . . D said his woman might come and my homegirl might be there too . . . both are hawwwwwt . . . LOL

Well . . no women from my side of the yard. . .

I just got off the phone with my homegirl . . .she has to work . . .

But she said she'll try to make the next one. . .

Here's some pics of "Felix"

Im not sure if Im gonna bring my girl or not....after seeing PJs reaction...:rolleyes




Just playin PJ :stickoutt


It depends on what she wants to do. I do know that if I bring her, I wont be going out to harbison afterwards.....will have....."business" to take care of. :redspot

Dustin, you haven't taken her back seat out of her car yet? Ya know, all that "weight reduction" stuff...

Dustin, you haven't taken her back seat out of her car yet? Ya know, all that "weight reduction" stuff...

Nope....she drives a Maxima. :rolleyes

Besides...her weight herself is enough of weight reduction...that girl is tiny.


Maybe once I get her into a bimmer after we get our house. :devillook

Any decisions so far on what you're gonna be grilling? Burgers would be good with me, but it's up to PJ since it's his house.

Like I said, I'll bring some chips and a 2 liter Mt. Dew again, that seemed to work well last time. Got enough cups for all these people?

Plenty cups . . .plenty napkins . . .plenty plates. . .

No nakid women :(

Anyone doing anything this friday? Going to harbison or anything?

Partying downtown!


Wish I could make the grill out, but my mom's bday is on the 15th and I will be out of town. Ya'll have fun though:buttrock

Burgers are fine with me. Brats are good if you soak them in beer for several hours first.....just a suggestion.

Beer? Yuck . . . .LOL

They do taste better that way though . . .

;) I wouldn't lead you astray, especially in the ways of food and food preparation.

I just chased down a Cosmo Black E36 ///M3 over by the Summit Area. Coold dude. He might show up fot the grill meet. Damn that might be 15 people showing up, PJ. I hope u can handle the grill and hosting. Oh yeah, this question is OT. Is that chick u know black and asian>?

That's cool with me. . . :D

Why, yes sir she is :smiliecap

Dats mah homegirl fo life yo!! :D

She cool lil cat . . . and her kids are so adorable. . . .

Ok . . enuff about that . .
:lol

You still wanna buy these two 12"s I got?

What time are we meetin up at the Casa De PJ?

6:00pm. Let me get a look at 'em PJ. I'm trying to pimp wifey's Audi and hopefully they'll fit.

The house will be ready around 5ish. . .

the chef won't there until 6:30ish . . .

So if you wanna come over and crash some shit in Enthusia. . .you are more than welcomed . . .

Aight. . .I'll hold off putting them up for sale ;)

Asian women FTW. :redspot

My girl is part chinese/flip.

She will be at the meet, so you can gawk over here again. :D

:D

That's no fun . . . She no got no hottie friends that she can bring . . .

We might need to look further into the strippers deal. . . :cool

I invited a guy I saw at 'Tech today to our dinner, he said he'd check out the form when he got a chance. A black e36 M3, nice looking car. He knows Dustin, think his name was Joey or Josh...I'm bad at remembering names, just takes me a while.

Suhweeeet . . .

A house full of Bimmer people. . . .

My friend Christiaan wants to hang out too, I'll give him a call when we head out to Harbison. He's a VW driver, but loves Bimmers too.

I need to know who wants what to eat by tonight.

So far we have this. Add/Correct yourself as deemed fit:

Steaks:
PJ
Dustin
Jessa (gf)
Miguel
Mario

Burgers/Dogs
Thom
Graham
Josh
Craig
8Ball
Brett
Anyone else

If ya dont speak up, I dont wanna hear bitching at the meet.

Hmmm, how much does a steak go for?
On a side note, If I had known we were going to have this many people I could have gotten the meat thru the restaurant, wholesale prices, maybe next time

Put me down for both(steak& burgers). I'm a big boy and i need my nutrition. Don't worry, I'll kick in the cash.

$7 buckles for steak, burgers, and dogs. . .

Can you dig it!!!

I would like a steak if it isnt too late

Hey man I thought you were getting that hard top? I saw your car at the Cingular place today btw

Thanks to everyone that showed up. In the spring, when the weather gets a bit warmer, we need to go for a drive afterwards or something.

Hey man I thought you were getting that hard top? I saw your car at the Cingular place today btw

I did, Im waiting on the mounting kit, then I need to decide if Im going to drive around with a red hardtop on my car till the weather warms enough to paint.

The meet was great, food was excellent if I say so myself. PJ spanked all who stepped up in GT4. Next time PJ..............next time.

Anyone I told to get with me about things, email me whenever.


And lastly, I hope everyones post-meet activities went as well as mine. :devillook
