I would say "be safe" or some such, you know, "take it to the track", whatever, but the beemers I always see drive reeeal conservative like :) so it's not necessary..

Nice to see there's someone less than 4 hours from me. Jay

Hey!

Glad to meet you!

Do you AutoX with EESCC?

You guys should all join the DTM Power Pac NW regional forum. It's free and we have a huge huge following already.

I haven't tried auto-x yet. Had my car out to Thunderhill once last year. Will be heading that way again in the spring. I may get around to trying PIR some day too.

Jay

Ahh TH! I am yet to make a trip there. My friend went there twice with his Elise - the track looks awesome. Some day I gotta make a trip there also. :D

I'm here, I'm here!

... just found this forum -- I'm an active member of roadfly and browser of bimmerforums, thought I'd speak up on this thread.

moved to PDX in August and am looking to do some DE's at PIR. Akakubi, you wanna give me the heads up on events? I don't mind autocrossing but would rather spend my *very limited* free time on the track. Alfa club, Audi, club, BMW club, even PORSCHE club, I don't care, I need some seat time!!!

cheers

I'm going to be having some fun in the next week or two :)

Can you say sleeper?

hey Mitch,
were you at BMW Bellevue this past Tuesday? I think i recognize your car, i was there and a black Dinan3 pulled in past me. if so, nice ride man. good luck with the swap. you'll have CRAZY hp comin' out of that monster!

Yes I was! I actually saw your car at CC and was snooping around checking out your swap. If you know of anyone else who wants to put a 2.8l in thier 325 or 318 let them know and I'll rebuild my 2.8l for them to buy. I'm hoping to put out 300rwhp/280ft-lbs to the ground. Should be around 360hp/320+ft-lbs at the crank. Then, once I'm used to that I'll give another tuning effort and bring things up another 40 notches :) My other project will be to add a 4-wheel brake kit and some nice 18's to round out the package. Can't wait!

Sure, awesome! You'll have a blast.

1st day is going to be March 1st - Alfa club.

I am almost done putting the schedule for the rest of the year on my website, as well as some preparation tips. I'll post the link in a day or two.

I doubt you will need to pre-register for this event. Alfa days are never too packed.

Porsche will have a day on the 14th, but I won't go with them... Too much talk and not much driving. Plus, they don't allow passengers. :complain

BMW will be on the 30th. For this event you will have to pre-register. Our events fill up very quickly. Check their site to pre-register:

We'll have fun!


:cool:

Great project!

It's a sleeper rocket for sure. :D

Two things: check the rear subframe and the diff. The subframe can get torn under heavy torque loads. It happens on the non-FI-ed cars. M3 has reinforcing plates, but they too get torn off sometimes. Browse Bimmerfest for some nasty pics and stories.

The diff is also a weak link for high torque.

Otherwise, best luck to your project! I would really like to see that beast in action some day. :cool:

great, thanks on the subframe tip. I'll have that added to the list. As far as the diff, I already am running an M3 diff :) By the way, you'll see me at PIR for sure. Already been down there

Awesome closeup pics!

Winter is the hardest season for me. I miss PIR so much :biglaughb

We may have met even. I usually park near the pre-grid, with my firend with a SMG Silver M3.


http://www.imagestation.com/album/pictures.html?show_all=1&start=1&id=4291958985

quite possible! You should make it up to PR (used to be called SIR). Talk about elevation changes! Up, down, everything!

Yeah, PR is awesome. Especially after the redesign...

I will to try to make it up there this year. It's always packed though. Gotta pre-register very early.

not if you're on the ProFormance Racing school list. Usually no more than 15-20 people for an entire day. As much as you want! Of course it costs twice as much. But, you don't have to worry about traffic or slow pokes :)

Cool thanks!

I'll look into it.

anyone from Eugene OR. also

Hey! Fellow Eugenean!!! Nice to meet you.

Hey I'm here, I'm never really on this forum, I'm usually on DTM.

Whats up PNW?? This is my first time posting on this board, so I thought I would check with you guys. I am in North Seattle, near the UW and Childerens hospital.

Holie S!! That's a nice E28!! Do you have any more pics???:clap:

:wave: I'm new to the forum, too! I live in South Everett across from Silver Lake - about 25 miles North of Seattle.

I said goodbye to my 1999 triple black Z3 last Friday and HELLO to my new Titanium Silver 2.5i below! I'm in love! :love1

Today we finally had a break in the rain long enough for me to get her washed and shined for photos - but still no sun. I have yet to drive her with the top down.

i'm new too........and here to represent!!!!!!

I'm new, but I am here. Just looking out the window at my M3, is it 5 o'clock yet? Can't wait for that SR 520 commute.

:wave: Im here:wave:

fastfiver..your car is sweet..nice to see another E28 535is around the seattle area:)

I'm here as well, first time posting in bimmerforums. Hey Marquis, this is Cohn by the way. The guy that sold you the supersprint exaust in wenatchee. Damn man, I need to see your car now, looks sweet. I have 96 328is if you don't remember. I only have the ECIS intake and UUC exaust for mods though. I need to head up to seattle sometime and drive with you guys. I go to Eastern Washington University so its kinda far. But hello everyone on this board.

hey Cohn, i remember you. Tons have changed w/ my car since i last talked to you. you should come out here sometime when it gets nice and we can go on a drive or something.

:wave: im here.

Sounds good Marques!! I'll have to do that. I better get some mods though or I won't be able to keep up. HaHa!! Just curious, is a OBD-1 328 faster than a OBD-2? I'm assuming yes, since they say OBD-1 responds better to mods. Anyways man, yeah lets go drive sometime.

yes, an obd1 328 will be faster than obd2 not only b/c of better response to mods but it uses less restrictive obd1 parts as well.
not that this was necessarily fair but i raced a 328 on the freeway a few weeks ago and crushed it, poor guy. not sure if he had any engine mods, but it was lowered w/ wheels, a schnitzer kit and an M badge!!

Damn Marques,
You crushed a 328 OBD-2. NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!! My confidence will be crushed. HaHa!! J-k. what mods do you have on your new engine?

:clap: I am here now! I just bought my '99 titanium silver M coupe (pics to come) on Saturday! I just came from a Honda S2000, so the M is taking some getting used to...most of which I totally love!

I live and work in Portland, OR, and I have only seen two M or Z coupes on my side of town over the last year... I keep getting that "what the f#$% is that?" look from people! :D too funny...


Anyone here in Portland want to meet up sometime soon? The S2000 guys used to meet up every couple of weeks during the spring and summer months...Does the local Bimmer community do the same?

Yeah, up here in Portland we have meets all the time. What's your e mail?

PDX M Coupe & Cone

I recently moved to Portland and would love to meet up with you guys sometime. Send me an email about any weekend drives, meets, etc.

Cheers

Noman, are those BBS RXII's on your car? 18's by chance? Whatever they are, very very nice :)

I'm here with a 98 M3. I have seen a lot of your cars at PIR. It is nice to start putting screen names with them. Maybe later I will even try to remember real names! :)

Did anyone go to the AROO track day? If so, how was it?
