Vote for the day that'd work best! The 2nd is out b/c of the christmas party.

I've got several BMW projects on my plate. I like Sunday the 9th because of commitments on all of the other weekends! Where would these projects be done?

Edit: never mind saw the other thread. I don't know where Dan's house is though. Can someone give me an address?
Thanks!
Ian

i voted Sat Dec 8th but i can do 8th or 9th. 15th is the Christmas G2G at Royal Bavaria... unless we want to head up there after the project day.

thats a better idea to me...i say do the project day on the 9th then head to Royal Bavaria. woohoo.

I'll be TDY until the 10th :(

so is this still going on this sunday?

i voted 16th since i wont be in town to do ANY of my projects until that weekend. i'll be off saturday and sunday, so 15th and 16th would be okay. i know we wouldnt have a project day just for my car hehe.

i hope so, i need a driveshaft and waterpump.

I don't have the projects I thought I would have lined up, but I'd still like to go and hang out and help whoever needs an extra hand.

Can someone post or PM me with the location/address?

i have an aux fan to put in and possibly my fan delete so i would like to know if we are doing this this sunday or not. Ryan? Dan? :)

yeah i wanna know if its going on too.

i will email Dan @ work and see if it is still on.

ok i talked to Dan at work. he said this sunday is still good for him. Pot Luck as usual so bring food to eat.

he is going to post directions when he gets off today.

word.

ok so i talked to Dan again.

Please post that you are coming. Dan is going to provide burgers and dogs and is asking everyone else to bring either drinks, sides, or other little finger food. Also tools as well so that we can get multiple projects going on (if you are willing to share your tools with others).

Ok...the official head count!

Around, Thursday - Friday, I'll PM those who will be attending directions to my house.

Cheers,
Dan

I should be able to make it....don't have anything to do though so will just be helping.

Anyone need tools? Jack, jack stands, anything?

i will be able to make it!

i will bring a jack and jackstand but my sockets are for my eyes only...

I would show, if I had anything to work on :(

im a no go. i'll be in Manhattan livin it up!!! : )

I will try to get grades done, maybe I could take some time off and come over and play cars....

hopefully david will be done with mine so i can come over and FINALLY get this thing dropped. haha
he told me it would be finished by the end of the week, so i guess we are a go for now.

I would show, if I had anything to work on :(


so, show up anyways and help out and hang out

yeah i can give you something to work on ya know. haha

I would show, if I had anything to work on :(


start changing it now because i promise its goin to go out. you ask what it is, it is everything. start replacing.

ya ill be there, ill go ahead and order a few more parts. count me in.

will be doing
microffilter
parking brake rebuild
aliogn headlights.

Ill be there to do my oil cooler orings, and grant i have a vibration on the right side it seems at 85-90mph, u think its tie rod or something else? the a/c comp is mounted tight. i checked that.

ya i would definitively say that that is the bad inner tie rod on that side. that inner one is pretty shot

i need to install my Aux fan, fan delete, and check my ABS sensors in the rear (the ABS light has been on since i changed my diff).

i know where you live Dan. =)

and i of course know too since i was just over there a few weeks ago.

i may also try and install a cheap HID kit for the hell of it. I've been hankerin to install some better bulbs since my silverstarts went out.

Hope there's a BIG garage....looks like cold and rain.

Ahh....40%...not too bad. The 330 should be in the body shop by then and I can park the E30 out in the street. First come, first serve.

will bring umbrella

hmmm i need to go to JCBMW and buy coolant.

how hard is a window regulator to fix?

im gonna be doing springs, is there anything special needed for that?

I have spring compressor tools. Window regulators are easy.

Looks like the 330 will be heading off to Bimmers and Benz next Monday (finally):)

I'll need to do my right front winreg pretty soon....I haven't touched the window ever since one day it rolled up too slow for my taste....I've had too much experience with winregs going out while the window is on it's way down and ripping the crap out of my tint.

Nice to know there's some experience available when the time comes.

I'm gonna try to pay pal my $ to buy my new rotors and pads...but I don't think they'll be shipped in time...and then I'll need to paint or clear coat them before I put them on...so still looks like I have no projects for myself...which sux.

oh maybe i should just call david and have him sell me the part and just bring it on sunday. are you volunteering to help me with that one dan? haha

ive had a few windows go up slowly. it wasnt the regulator. what happened was the felt liner on the window trays (is that what they are called) came off. realigned the felt and boom fixed.

you can hear the motor working but the window wont go up or down. brandon said he had to push it back up the day it stopped working.

Wish we could come and finish a couple of my many little projects. However, Peter (DH) herniated a disk in his back from bending over my trunk installing a speaker and amp. Hopefully we can make it to the next project day (spring?).

OK I'm gonna have to take myself off of the attendance list. They are predicting freezing rain, sleet, snow, etc. this weekend.
My PS2s don't have a lot of tread on them and don't do too great on snow and ice.

If y'all still do this please be careful travelling!

I'm gonna say it's just gonna be cold. I'll still be there to do my front wheel hubs! So what time are we starting this shindig?

if freezing rain then i will be there for moral support in the Mini. my summer tires are no good in the winter. ill still bring some food though.

You gonna bring that nutrachetsocket whatever thing for the hub nuts?

fronts right? yes

aww comeon, ive driven my moms e39 528 with bald rear tires in the ice and it wasnt that bad, just have to turn off traction control to get up any hills.:stickoutt

you're right of course but how stoopid would I feel if I focked up my car and I wasn't even going to work on it anyway?

I'm too old and conservative :(

if it is going to be raining, it may be beneficial for someone to bring a canopy tent to keep people dry if they get stuck outside.

fronts right? yes

Yeas, that is correct. Did we decide on a time to start? I'ma throw 10am out, if that's not too early for Dan. I'ma need directions, too..

ill be there after church. so maybe 1030ish.

Oh yea, I was thinking the 9th was Saturday. Durr.. I'll be there around 11, prob.

i hope everyone likes taco soup. thought it would be nice since it will be so cold. :)

i dont think i will be coming after all, not a fan of the cold

pussy.

brian hibernates until march.

haha
hey wait a minute, you have to come so i can give you money for my shirt jed!

im coming. just not working on my car.

Hell, I'm not driving anywhere, so I have nothing to worry about. :stickoutt

jed i will text you about my shirt money sometime today.

I saw an E90 with your rims today. They definitely compliment the E46 more. Has Dan PM'd directions?

not many going... well ya, its going to be the best project day ever because all the uncool people are not coming, only the cool ones will be there:stickoutt

Cool is right....BRRR!

Due to the crappy weather for tomorrow, I'm bailing out. We'll shoot for next weekend. I'd hate to see someone get into some trouble with the bad weather.

Dan

I'll be back in Tulsa next weekend. :( Ya'll have fun! Everyone stay safe this weekend!

Thanks! Bet the E90 still looked sharp....I love my wheels and get so many compliments.

If we do project day next weekend I can't do Saturday w/sister graduating college and then MoFo X-mas party....

Welp, I'm definitely iced in.

46 is safely under cover in the garage.....I'm so thankful for a garaga:)

Man, I had bought some authentic Baviarian beir for today...guess I'll have to drink it all myself watchin' football..

Man, rough life.. I wish I had a garage. And beer here in the library while I waste the afternoon writing a paper.

yea this weather blows. hopefully there will be no work tomorrow. in the mean time i have been able to watch Transformers and Cars. i am running out of things to do. if the garage floor wasnt so cold i would work on my car.

Was so bored, I went to Wally World and bought Superbad. Hell, I even made some chicken paremsean too.

Yeah, it would be nice if work was cancelled for tomorrow.

Finals are cancelled here at OU today, maybe tomorrow. The freshmen are goin nuts.

how is that going to work out? i remember my freshman year @ OU we had ice similar to this. they made us come back either the week after or later on in the week to take the finals. you have got to be sh*tten me!

Lucky, finals were not cancelled here at osu, I had one at 8am and it was slippery. Ill be able to make it to the project day next week yay.

Yea, I dunno what they're gonna do. They can't put them on Saturday, people have flights on Friday. So, who knows. :eyecrazy

im actually glad that this got posponed since my car is still at david's. i hope it will be finished in time this time around. haha
i used my bavauto gift certificate and order a couple of things that will be here later this week.

watch out boys, the touring is moving up. ;)

blk318ti, any ice pictures? Good Luck on your finals.

So when's the new day....I have a project now, so now instead of sitting around drinking beer watching everyone work, I can sit around drinking beer and watch everyone work on my car! Just kidding!

Seriously though, anyone up for this Sunday if we're not snowed in?

I am up for Sunday

dammit, my car still wont be done. david said im looking at about 10 days for me to get mine back now. :(

you let him do it.... i told you my brother would have done it for a fraction of the cost.... what did he charge you

well that would be nice, but how would my dad pay your brother with his mastercard? im sure my dad would have just yelled and said for me to have david do it. im not sure yet how much its going to cost, he hasnt taken the cylinder out yet to look at it or whatever it is that they have to do to decide if it is cracked or not.

ask david to take it to Buddy Rice Precision Engine. thats where i took my head to have it looked over. great guys over there. besides that would make sure that david isnt trying to screw you and say its cracked even though its not.

Im not saying that david is a buy guy but this whole situation just seems way to damn flakey to go head first into.

I would still try to make him pay for atleast part of the repair

Looks like I'll be here until at least Sunday now, so I'm in!

well he has an s50 head there that he offered me so im gonna take it. i think it wont take as long either.
i have a feeling that wasnt davids fault all along. im pretty sure us being stubborn when the water pump went out had something to do with it. :(

im in for this sunday. im back from New York. i just gotta get me an intake and put my brakes on.

the few times i have taken my car to bavautohaus david has always found something that in 'needed' to get done. just sayin...

well it was smoking really bad and it had all the signs of a cracked head. we cant drive it anywhere else so i figure ill just have him fix it. its just easier since its there and it would save me a headache and more yelling from my dad. he gets mad when i complicate things.

i do know that next time for sure, as long as i dont have to tow the car from norman, i will take it to penn auto.

thanks for the advice though.

After Brian's experience with them, bavautohaus has :shifty written all over them. Especially after we did his FDM. Big f'n shifty.

my .02, i wouldnt take anything back there again. and jed your right about him just doing shit, you warned me and he still did stuff i didnt ask for.

i wont even attempt anymore....everytime i call him...he is like "im so swamped...can you call back in an hour? maybe we can set up an appointment yada yada ya......" he is never able to fix the problem when needed...and since its my ONLY transportation...i wont leave it with him for weeks at a time. i'd rather do it myself if i could or take it to PENN.

anyone check up on that new place in Moore near the new theater?

actually come to think of it, everytime i called i got the same run-around. the only time i have evey been able to get work done there was when Ryan used to work there. i remember he used to be condescending when he would talk about my suspension. used to say stuff like i was messing up my car with aftermarket parts.

the new place left a business card on my window at the mall. unfortunately for them i do all my own work

The new garage, Eurosport, in Norman is fantastic. I ended up having them do my mounts, cause I couldn't wait. Great guys, and the cleanest shop I've ever seen. It's like going to a dealer, but less expensive, and better service.

i need to check them out.

i wanna go there too but i was told today from one of our anasthesiologists that they are not open on weekends.
the owner is a former cardiovascular surgeon from either baptist or the heart hospital. almost all of our docs know him and i have heard hes a really nice guy. i hope i get a chance to make it up there sometime.

I was over there with Brian's car today askin for an opinon on what could be the cause of it continuing to not want to start. He said it was probably the battery (we figured so too), but then later in the day he called me out of the blue with another possibility he'd thought of. Definitely a stand-up guy!

Oh, so if the snow comes on like they're saying it might, we cancelling again?

ugh i hope it doesnt come because im actually getting my car back probably friday. woohoo

thats up to dan. i kind of hope it cancels so i can go next time/week/whenever it is rescheduled. :) *wink*

might as well cancel......its gonna get nasty

If the snow comes, I'm bailing out. If not, we can shoot for Sunday. Again, I wouldn't want anyone driving in this sh!tty weather.

Also, I'll see how hungover I am from the Christmas party too.

Dan

not as nasty as last weekend. but if you mean nasty as in more dirt and salt on the road nasty then yea. but ill take snow over ice any time. definetely not project day weather though.

Nope, not lookin like it.. :(

Yeah, I have a few projects that I need to tackle myself, like a new throttle cable and install a BMW Homelink module into the E30 (got one with the harness for free) :eek: I just need to find my Dremel tool.

Dan

my stuff from bavauto came in today. so i now have those plus my springs, of course, i need a car first.

The weatherman didn't tell me we were getting invisible snow! Wow! :shifty So, we on for tomorrow or no?

Yay Ryan didn't driftz into a tree.

:devillook

:redspot

:alright

im down for the project day....i got my tires today.....ripped myself a new one with the card. : (

well guys let me know if you're doing project day tomorrow if so I'm in ;)

Waiting to hear from the general; it's still up to Dan.
