PNW E30 picnic (now THIS is 56k death!)

[KenC]

So when will someone explain why a few of you said it was a "bad day for E30's" ?

Jordan's tranny decided to stop working at about 10pm the night before the picnic. Luckily James had a spare and he drove down from Tacoma and delivered it. The tranny swap began at 11pm or so and was finished at 4am.

The people working on it weren't drinking... just the other 15 people there. I really don't remember what the exact time was when the started and finished; it was just an approximation.
I still think it was badass that they were able to find a tranny that late and swap it the night before the meet.

custom intake

er...
Yeah, that'd be mine.
Before I had my exhaust on, I flipped it upside down, taped it in so it wouldn't fall out while driving, it gave me a beefy intake roar without buying the metal bracket off ebay. The filter got in a fight with the alternator after I flipped it upside down w/o bracketing it down ... oops! But, yeah, overall, looks like crap, I tried to make it semi-nice but failed, overall result was good... tell me what you think ...

Sorry Dude but I got a good laugh at that one... If I were you I'd go back to stock.

Yeah, it was a cool meet, thanks to Lance for setting it all up. Next year it'll be better.
