Steel 12-18-2002, 01:05 PM How many people so far are down to go, do you know?
I thought they'll be closed all winter long and re-open again in the spring.
But if more than five go I'll definetly go too, check if Chris is down to go also......[I will have a few surprises for then ;)]
bimmer143 12-18-2002, 01:22 PM They're open, they laughed when I asked if they were closed for the winter.
There will be more than five. I have Dan's new stickley built beast,a friend of his with a 95 m3, my M3, the M-Tech, Bear if we can get his tranny in, a 97m3 from hampton, a Type-R Integra, a Lightning, Chris (if we can get him to sacrifice some beauty sleep), and I'm sure a few more will drop in to check it out. It should be fun, besides I like surprises!!:D I haven't checked with Dean to see how many have signed up, I'll email him right now and PM you.
I will be there in the M and Z3. I need to get it dynoed b4 I do the RMS upgrade
bimmer143 12-18-2002, 02:49 PM Sweet, this is going to be fun!! Where in NH are you from J10?
Steel 12-18-2002, 04:04 PM Hope to have the Pulleys on by then along w/ the track pipe:evil2
We'll se what happens before then, if I don't put anything on more than likely will not show up.....only time can tell.......:D

How are you planning to drive two cars down from NH? Tow one with the other? :)
Qazimov 12-18-2002, 05:37 PM The Z has more than enough trunk space for the M to ride along.

Chapel 12-18-2002, 11:02 PM I signed up...
what the hell
Im aiming for a solid 135whp!
Chapel 12-18-2002, 11:04 PM oh, Im coming from Beverly.
any info on pulls per price?
bungy42 12-19-2002, 09:47 AM I'm going to try to drop by just to watch. I barely have money for maintenance, nevermind fun activities. I'll just stop by to meet y'all and check out Chapel's pavement-shredding 135HP... :)
bimmer143 12-19-2002, 10:23 AM Chapel, its $75 per car with four, and $65 per car if we get 6 or more. Its looking like its going to be $65, I have four cars definitely coming with me. J10, the Rimpro crew, and you make it 9. We will all get at least 3, maybe 4, runs.
I live in Newbury, so your a stones throw away. We should meet up sometime, I'm always out wasting gas and tires. :devillook
Chapel 12-19-2002, 10:46 AM I might be able to bring some more people.
Ill ask my car club and a few of my local bimmerheads.
Im out and about on weekends normally.
I go to school in the morning and work in Tewksbury for the night 40 hours a week.
sleepy sleepy...:orangesle
Chapel 12-19-2002, 07:49 PM I invited some VW friends
not sure if they'll come though.
Id love to see the RimPro guys... I havent seen them since they mended my BBS RMs a year ago.
-ursa- 12-19-2002, 11:25 PM You know I am down, pending second gear be back in action by then. :rolleyes:
Chapel 12-20-2002, 12:25 AM Ill have some more upgrades by then
I just got a new steering wheel, sparco stress bar and UUC Short Shift Kit...
...

...I spent like $600 on my car today.

Yeah, so are you going to take your school buddy up on his offer. A lift in a HEATED shop would be nice.
You could do it without second. You only need to get it up to fourth and let her rip, although it would be better if you had your new tranny.
OreoGaborio 12-20-2002, 03:56 PM BAH! i'll be in DC on the 11th :complain
Jan 11th... I might come down to watch, dont know if I'll have the $$$ to dyno.
Chapel 12-21-2002, 01:47 AM yeah, that sounds good
Get a nice big crowd to watch me! ;)
fear my stock M20!
Bimmer9938 12-21-2002, 03:14 AM thats too far to drive in January with the sand (or snow) all over the road. your all crazzy , I'll just watch it , I'm sure CMT will make a video.:stickoutt

Bimmer9938 12-24-2002, 08:15 PM I know a guy that would and could lower your car while you wait in Weymouth . E-mail me if ya need his info:)
Qazimov 12-25-2002, 01:51 AM Bimmer9938, I'm probably going to do some suspension work next summer(need new shocks, thinking coilovers will be in the mix) if this guy would be a moderate drive for me to get to from NH, or from a friends in Boston, I'd love to hook up a good person to do the work. Either post or PM me his info, or be subject to a post next summer asking for it... Please.
Thanks.
Bimmer9938 12-25-2002, 02:37 AM FCR Weymouth Ma. (781)331-0113 ask for Tony
SO can I just show or do I need to register?
Chapel 12-29-2002, 10:42 PM register at http://www.nedyno.com
they'll email you
bimmer143 12-29-2002, 10:58 PM So who wants to meet up and cruise down?
Chapel 12-30-2002, 07:19 AM you heading south first?
bimmer143 12-30-2002, 09:39 AM Well, I've got a few people with me, but I figured I'd invite others to cruise down with us. Which way were you going to go?
Chapel 12-30-2002, 11:47 PM well
I go south on I95
to the Mass Pike
then I stick to the pike till I get into Worcester
which way were you going?
OreoGaborio 12-31-2002, 07:11 PM Hey jared... i'm getting back from DC on the 10th, so i'll be around... i dont have the money to throw my car on the dino, but i'll drive down with ya... gimme a call to let me know the details. i think u got my cell, right?... if not, let me know, i'll PM ya
how much is it anyway? Also I will be coming By the way of 495 Which way is faster 290 or the Pike?
97 332ti 01-02-2003, 02:29 PM Hi all,
I'm planning on heading up to the dyno on Saturday, $65 sounds like a great price for a few pulls.
I'd like to get a baseline before i do any mods. I'm also curious to see if my custom exhaust (it is a hybrid M3/M roadster exhaust) is robbing any power.
Anyone else leaving from the Braintree/Quincy area? What time of the day are most folks heading up?
Thanks
-Matt
bimmer143 01-02-2003, 03:09 PM I'm leaving in the Early AM.
J10, when are you heading down?? I'll be going via 495 also, we should hook up and make it a caravan. I have a few people from my area going.
Chapel, if your going via 128, I'll see ya there. It's quicker for me to take 495. I have a guy from Hampton meeting up also, so its easier for him to jump on 495. You're lucky if you can average 70mph on 128 anyway. I can't drive that slow!!
We should do something after we dyno, maybe some video mischeif or something??:devillook
Chapel 01-03-2003, 02:15 AM well
Im in Tewksbury at work on Friday night
if you wanna let me camp at your place ;)
bimmer143 01-03-2003, 10:34 AM Well you can pitch a tent in the front yard!! J/K
Sure, no problem. Just email me on friday and I'll tell you how to reach me.
Chapel 01-03-2003, 07:06 PM Ill email you when I get home
I have a class till 9:30 so I will be leaving at the latest 10:30. I will prolly only have the Z3. we shall see though.
Chapel 01-05-2003, 10:58 PM pray for good weather.
DocWyte 01-05-2003, 11:54 PM Anyone coming from the South Shore or the Cape?
Chapel 01-06-2003, 02:54 AM nope :(
I have a set of snows for the Z. THE M...... Yeah lets pray for good weather or it stays home. Hell it stays if the roads arent 100% dry.
bimmer143 01-06-2003, 11:36 AM Well, I've been thinking if the weather doesn't work with us we may have to reschedule. I'd like everyone to show and many won't if it snows or there is a good amount on the ground. I know here there is still snow on most side streets and more coming. What do you guys think?
DocWyte 01-06-2003, 11:42 AM Well I'm up for it. I have blizzaks on the M and it sees it all. It would be nice to go on a nice day, but I have the feeling we're not going to have those again till at least May.
bimmer143 01-06-2003, 11:53 AM Well its up to the majority. I'm down for whatever. I'm not going to dyno the M3 but the M-Tech is still in. My check engine light just started coming on, getting codes for knock sensors. After the M-Tech's performance with bad knock sensors, its a waste of time untill I change them. It'll get done this week, but thats my dyno money.:(
Snow tires and the M3 rock!!:buttrock My buddy found some cones in an empty parking lot, we set up a snow course and..........................:devillook........... ..it was great.
Chapel 01-06-2003, 12:13 PM looks cloudy that day
bimmer143 01-07-2003, 10:17 AM This is still on!! The forecast is partly cloudy for Fri. and Sat. with very light snow showers till then. (nothing to worry about) Lets do this!!
Yeah please keep me informed. I just spent 330 to make sure everything is fine on the z3. I will prolly leave the M home. It usually stays in on cold days anywho.
bimmer143 01-07-2003, 12:51 PM Aww, your leaving the M home.:( It doesn't want to come play with its fellow M brethren.:D There will be a few other M's there including, a brand new 03' SMG M3!!

-ursa- 01-07-2003, 04:44 PM It looks like I will be there too...
I have my AAA + tow card in case I blow up my already spent tranny on the dyno. :devillook
Chris, you need to get a video of that!!! :stickoutt

I am in CT all weekend. :(
Chapel 01-07-2003, 06:35 PM someone bring jumper cables
my car hates cold days
I need to get an optima!
bimmer143 01-08-2003, 10:01 AM Bear, my friend Chris is going to get everything on video!! I think I will be putting the M3 on the Dyno, I found some extra cash.
Chris, we may need your help editing it when we you get back from CT. We are rookies and you are the pro!! Also, you will be shooting video of the event your attending, right?? I'm curious to see what they're all about.
Nite, yes!! I told him we needed a meet to check out the new ride and he said he'd be at dyno day.
This should be a fun Dyno Day with more than just bimmers. I've invited a couple cool cars, hopefully they will show!!
I would have braved the roads (245/35/18 Toyo T1-S Proxes all around are probably as good as 2 sleds in the snow) for a chance of seeing the actual numbers my car puts down/// but the 11th is my girlfriend's birthday. If I tried to bring her, or just went, I'd be in deep shit all year :)

No problem, Zoso!! Keep your girl happy, we'll have another in a few months!! Besides, those Toyos suck in the inclement weather. My buddy couldn't even get his Type-R out of the driveway with those on!!

Leo, that would be fantastic. Just get me a copy of the DV tape at the next meet and I can do the rest.
bimmer143 01-08-2003, 05:36 PM Chris, no problem!! Make sure you take some good pictures and video of the event your attending. You know those of us who can't make it would love to see what happening in CT!! Oh and have fun down there!!
