PNW Picnic - SE Caravan

[PiercedE30]

Hartge: If you trailer it, I'm going to be behind you to draft you and get better gas mileage. hahaha

You guys are dedicated, I LOVE IT!

Hey pierced and rwdrift I will be haeding up there. I would like to meet up and all roll up together. But i might be pulling my car in a trailer, It all depends on my mood. lol.

I would be happy to play host for as many days as needed if some one wants to stay in Portland and avoid hotel costs.

I'm so used to changing tires, I'll ride on whatever I got lol

[PiercedE30]

I've got some gold Style 5's with stretch that I will be swapping onto once I get up there. I don't want to muck them up on the way.

[Erick]

Why are you bringing 4 wheels and tires?

[PiercedE30]

Yea, I'm working on getting my eMS hooked up and I should have the car running by next weekend as long as things continue to progress as they are. I'm getting anxious. I doubt I will have my cage in by the picnic, but I will have to carry an extra 4 wheels/tires somewhere.

A road trip such as this is definetly an experience I'd love to have under my belt.... so I'm making plans to go... right now it all depends whether it's the vert or the turbo car that is going.

I might have to save two tunes on the MS.. one for fuel economy and one for the track. I'd like to save as much as possible to make sure that I can actually pull off this trip.

I'm starting to plan this out... I will probably leave on a Saturday/Sunday of the week before. If the car is to break down I figure it would happen in the later part of the trip, giving me the chance to overnight parts from KO to wherever the hell I'm stuck at :p

I'm definetly stocking up on water, oil, zip ties, and JB weld. :)

My main concern with the turbo car is A-) Cage and B-) Fixed Corbeau seats

Would love to go but car is not final yet and I need a car hauler to hook up behind the f250 and haul several cars out for the gathering. Maybe next year things will be done and able to make a PNW picnic....

[Sponce]

i wana go, but i need to save up some $ the plan so far is to go, but i wont know forsure for a few more months.

[PiercedE30]

Yea I know. I might just wait to see what I end up getting with the 4.10's.

[Erick]

dude, etas are everywhere... screw power, throw a 2.79/93 and let the good times roll. I do 27mpg on the highway on the turbo car.

[PiercedE30]

Yea, I wasn't planning on only being there for 2 days. I've got a buddy from Seattle who's dad still lives there and races with PCCA, so I was thinking about seeing if he is going to be there in June and seeing what was going on.
Driving can be a lot of fun, but this is going to be one trip that going between the big cities will HAVE to be short. Changing out rear ends sounds like a good idea. I may have to scrounge up a 3.46 or something.

[smonkbmw]

I am still contemplating what I will do. I am thinking of dropping my 2.93 in the vert and taking the vert up to the PNW.

bring whatever car has my old euro filler on it!!
