I love all the feedback everyone. Now that we have solidified that we are going to do the tech day we gotta figure out what we should do sessions on. Right now I am pretty sure we will have one about turbos and one about the MS5X swaps. I will also be doing one on car care, but you guys should let me know what aspects of car care you would like it to be about. Then comes the topics of maintenance. I think valve adjustments would be good, but I would like your guys' opinions on some other things that we could/should do. What other routene things would be good for this?

General repair stuff, and we can also provide a glance into the world of building the M20

Basic stuff, i.e. a simple brake job (swapping pads and rotors). You would be surprised how many people would consider doing their own brakes if they saw the process done once.
Also, just pointing out how to check controls arms for wear, etc.Lance Richert '88 M3, #35 PRO3, i3 etc.

BTW - This doesn't happen until June, so you have plenty of time to plan a trip.
Count me in for next year. This will give me a mandate to get my car and my own butt in gear for the 2008 season. Plus, I need to get out of this section of the globe anyway. What better way than to come hang out, photograph, and take notes on how to have a really great meet.

I always liked WA anyway,
Plus the CINChouse said I can go.
I will be following your link, and maybe if you don't mind a few PM's, get a feel for what I need to bring when I come.
Thanks for the invite,
I'll do my best to walk the honor you have given,
Stumps:crazy:

Seems like it would all be good fun - I got to say it's the 'average car' type gathering that makes it fun to me. I'm down there just to meet some new people & drool on Keith's car (I'll bring a slobberrag next year Keith, sorry.)
If it was a ton of guys trying to "out-Euro" each other it would be a boring snobfest. I'd still go for a burger, but it wouldn't be nearly the fun it is.
If it's that big of a deal, maybe have a "DO NOT JUDGE" box on the window / dash hangtag, that way if someone really was that sensitive, they wouldn't have to worry about getting called out.
That's coming from the guy with a shoe-in for "worst paint" - I'd get a good laugh out of people making fun of my paint.
It's not how you handle the good times, but the faith you keep in the bad that defines you.

PMs are more than welcome. I'm pretty sure you will win for longest traveled. I've got some car wash and a couch waiting for you when you get here.
