SoCal BBQ Poll. Is the 22nd/23rd too soon??

[Jeremiel5]

So what do you have on now?

Where are they from?

I got 25 front and 22 rear sways from IE. got it for like $395 and it came with the urethane bushings and sway bar end links, is that a good deal?

i also bought their urethane rear sub frame bushings, urethane trail arm bushings, and m3 control arm bushing which we will install next week at pe2one's humble garage, hopefully, (that's all we pretty much do every saturday early am...)... what cha think about the bushings? how do you feel about them?

[Danny]

I've heard nothing but good things about them.

My buddy has all urethane bushings on his E36 and has never been unhappy.

Not a single bushing is stock.

[Jeremiel5]

Really? With only a 3.73 rear end? I have the same thickness ST bars but it only kicks out at half throtle in second if i side step. But then again i do have my rears at the softest setting. What tires are you running? And my car has 280k+ known miles. Who nows how long the odometer was broken before i bought it.

lol @ 280K miles. I bought my car almost 5 years ago with 152k miles, a year later, my odo. stopped at 207k, so it's been 4 years since i have been driving, racing, drifting every where (took it to AZ, NV, all of southern cali especially willow springs), so probably close to 400k miles now, LMAO...

tires i'm running are WACK! lol
front left - avs es100 195/55/15
front right - generic brand name 195/55/15
rears - yoko yk420 (420, ;-)) 195/55/16

springs are 2.5 IE race springs that pe2one and abigballafb76 found from the junkyard, lol... for the longest time, we didn't know what they were until i found out... struts are just kyb gr-2 ... i don't like the suspensions, but it's perfect for road racing or specE30 races...

i would not mess with the rear busgings w/o installing the IE camber adjusters. Its just to much work to not install those too. You have got to upgrade those shocks though. When i had my springs installed with bilstein HD's they were way to bouncy. I went the cheap route with the ST bars. Only $325. Also you might want to slow down your spending cause IE was selling their stuff real cheap last year at Bimmerfest. Got my rear shock mounts for like $60 and my plug wires for $80.

I believe the last comment made by mariano was, that it would have to be held at a later date due to easter sunday..

You have my blessing for some bosch plugs, valve cover gasket, cam shaft plugs, feeler gauge, fuel filter, in tank fuel pump, oil and filter. Nothing else.

I am going to be giving away a Dual DTM Tip magnaflow muffler lol

[einstein57]

nice. i'll take it.

[KBMW222]

look for me einstein, maybe you somehow show up with a momo hub and a horn button.....or anyone else?

TNG = Two Nice Guys Automotive..i assumed thats where the BBQ was going to be since they held one a little while ago

What happened to the Scrantino's idea?

[E30_fiend]

I'm pretty sure Mariano was planning on his house as the location but TNG or Mariano's house would both be good places. TNG most likely though because its easier to get to. Very little residential driving just mostly freeway driving. Mariano's is tucked back in the hills.

Either way, I just want this to happen, I want to meet some more people from the forum.

I'm lookin forward to getting together with everyone.
