Weekly Meet in College Park Starbucks

[go_topless]

Also, most of my frustration comes from the fact that the seller grossly misrepresented the car.

Lol no one would purchase a vehicle from CL if the ad informed you of the truth.

Well, this is like what? my first post in 2 years? hahaha

Its always wise to spend the extra grand on something that is in better condition. Cause you will always spend more trying to fix it. The money bleeding out fixing it, is always invisible, because you "have to do it". Going cheap always cost more in the end.

Given that I was going to do the top end swap regardless of running condition, I'm spending much less than if I had bought a $3000 car. Yun's argument is only valid if I was going to keep the engine stock. Granted he knows that already, we've had this discussion many times since I bought the car.

Also, most of my frustration comes from the fact that the seller grossly misrepresented the car. Add to that equation other cars in the area were not much better at the $3000 price point and I didn't really leave myself with many options.

That being said, Yun I need to borrow your torque wrench. :D

I picked up the car in Delaware a little over a week ago. Turns out there was a lot more wrong with it than I expected. Faulty fuel injectors, bad TPS, bad CPS, bad afm, runs super rich....the list goes on.

sorry to hear about the rough start but it sounds like you've got some good progress made. definitely want to see it!

[TexasTerp]

good timing. I'll see if I can make it out there this Friday and if not definitely in the next few weeks. Whats the story on your engine?

I have a lot to do on it, but it's coming along. I'm doing the full I swap this week, it should be mostly done by Thursday and I can spend most of the day Friday working on it.

Welcome!

The meets happen every single week, rain or shine. This week is a rare week where we'll be meeting somewhere else other than the Starbucks on Cherry Hill Road.

I haven't made the official announcement yet, but we'll be having a bbq at my house in Bethesda. We'll hang out and work on my e30's engine (hopefully have it running that night!).


EDIT: Now it's official http://www.r3vlimited.com/board/show....php?p=3312578

[Beowulf]

Are these meets still happening? Just got myself into my first e30 and actually live around the area

[shEck3lls0]

Once school starts for me I will be able to come. I am going to UMBC and will be a lot closer.

[Dayman AhAHHH]

Well, it has been way too long since I had a Friday off. Cabrio has me working every Friday. Problem #2 is that neither of my sweet rides r operational. I have been working way too much and midnights at that. The black beauty almost survived a trip to Pittsburgh and back. Started misfiring on rt 70 near hagarstown. The yacht club vert needs the rear shock mount bushings replaced. Have the parts for both just way busy and any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks guys.

[ROLLingKING]

Tomorrow's meet (7/6/12) will be held at a different location, just this once, but still 7:30-8pm. We will meet at my parents house in Edgewater, MD. From there, we will drive a short distance to an awesome German restaurant for great food. Then, those that want to can crash at my parents, and we will be working on dismantling my brothers car (removing the tree) and fixing up my truck. If you have small stuff needing to be done on your cars, we can fit that in too! Link to Old Stein: http://www.oldstein-inn.com/

If you need directions/address for my parents, pm me and I'll give you the info.
