Saturday, March 25th (raindate Sunday)
The autox website is http://sportscar.union.rpi.edu./index.html


Technically this event is only open to students, graduates, and factulty but I think if you come and pay cash they won't know/care :devillook.


Directions:
The campus address is 1999 Burdett Ave, Troy NY 12180

Take rte 7 into Troy
7 turns into Hoosic street
Take a right at the 2/3rd light at a little convience store (15th street)
Go until 2nd light and take a right onto Peoples Ave
I believe the parking lot is the first left but it may be the second.

I hope to see some new people there! Even if you don't want to race you can always ride with someone or just shoot the breeze with fellow BMW owners.

GO RPI... class of '95 here.....

GO RPI... class of '95 here..... Awesome, then you have no excuse! And I would love to see that car in action.




OT: What major?

How about the date & time. I may be able to bring the M3 this weekend and I can get the radio from you. I'll trade you for a ride in the M3 on the autocross track.

You wouldn't drive your car if it rained in Timbuctu!

Thats gay

You wouldn't drive your car if it rained in Timbuctu!

I am serious. I'm gunna find an empty lot around campus, setup a course (somehow) and freaking do it!

I have like 10 pairs of shoe- I mean cones!

morning bump

didnt i post in this thread before?

obviously not

Do you still want to meet at the fieldhaus or can you find your way s1ick?

I guess I could find my way

Its really not that hard to find. 518-926-9165 is my cell if you can't find it.

Cool will call if i get lost or soemthing.

Yep, you have my cell as well.

Brent if you are heading over, just call me up if you get lost and I can help you get thur.

Morning bumpage. Still on guys!

I'll be there but I have yet to aquire a RIN. I hope I can still participate.

There has to be at least one RPI grad at your work. Hope you can find one!

well just dont check weather.com.

It turns out they all went to Clarkson. Brian- Bring your car i'll take a look at it there. It sounds like your radiatior is jammed and not cooling effectively. We'll get it fixed.

what time should we arrive? Thx John (Jon?) I think i may have found what ws going on, the sensors on the t-stat housing look like they have been in the ocean for 300 years, i scrubbed them up good, nice and shiney, ill see how that does it. Also last night i took a ride to TRY to get it to act up, and it woudlnt, it purred like a kitten. im baffled. i think its because it was above 40 degrees.

10:30 is a good time to get there. No later than 11:00 though.

I'm glad you got it figured out. Your temp should be just below half way especialy in this weather. Do we need to bring helmets?

rain. snow.

that just means it will snow at brents place, not here.

BTW i think i saw Jclark just now, slammed e36 M3 white on what look like kosei rims with mad tinting job? car looks awsome if its you! on rt 146

Sounds just like it. I love the Kosei's on that car perfect size and look.

btw brent your car looks uber german, cant wait to see the finished product, but its so mint, i would hate to be infront of you as benny says my tires toss quite a bit of stones. do your rear keskins have more lip then front?

are the keskins a staggered setup?*

staggerd is gay, whats cool is when the rear tires are wider with more lip then the front

that is staggered :rofl

what? no its not you nuib, staggered means the rear tires are taller, like a dragster.

+1 Benny is a nub



I Just got an email that the autox is still on.

If you have your own helmet bring it but they have plenty of extras.

Benny is right. Staggered is when your rear wheels are wider than the front. Larger diameter in the rear is called stupid, n00bs.
No the Keskins are not staggered. 16x7.5 all around. I made the mistake of having a staggered setup on the e34. It looks cool but is much more expensive and annoying in the long run. You cant rotate wheels and the rear tires are more expensive than front.

Snarcher was talking about a wider lip in the back but still the same width as the front. Kind of like running 15x7.5 inch euro weaves in the front and 15x7.5 inch Ronal LS in the back. That is NOT staggered.

you're both drunk, if you're gonna go for the look you might as well go staggered, with wider in the rear of course, if you need all the traction out back that is...promotes understeer though. which is why i'm going with DS1's 17x7.5 all the way around= 235's on each corner :alright


you my friends are the nubs...just look at the join date :shifty

Here is Snarchers quote...

what? no its not you nuib, staggered means the rear tires are taller, like a dragster.

taller tire has nothing to do with a wider lip

Rain!

im just messin with yall, yea looks like rain huh :(

no rain here just yet, drizzled a bit earlier though....

Still on so far...

No snow. It rained on me for a short time before I hit Vt. and a few flakes were flying on the mountain. Gotta love the temp gauge on the obc. It dropped 12 degrees from Albany to here.

The weather is looking real good next week. If anyone has any suggestions for a good place to do a photoshoot lets hear it. Maybe if you guys have any time during the week we could get a small drive in too.

there was something about the M3 hitting cones that make my cry inside, it was like watching a model fall on the runway or something, no ok that would be funny. but u know what i mean.

I usually laugh when I see a model fall on the runway. Ok, maybe I chuckled a bit when the cars hit the cones.

Yeah that guy sucked ass at driving!

For those that don't know 88MMM (John) let some n00b drive his car and he hit about eleventy billion cones.

No, the guy in the Datsun Nissan Uber Sleeper totally whomped all the cones at the end. At any point he had at least 4 cones on or under him.

ooooops. h/o...

damn, i need a tighter rear suspension :az

http://numassmontring.com/gallery.htm

go to bottom.

Sway Bars maybe. Are they stock? Bigger sways will def. help with the body roll.
As tight as my suspension is I still have a bunch of roll from the stock sways.

mmm I want sways, definately.

nice seeing some of you guys again, should have stayed and ran.... turns out I didnt have to go into work anyway...

I think there will be 2 more to round out the year, including that one.

Will you be attending? Mr. Post out of nowhere :)
