e30's in Richmond

[mccor023]

Bumping this up, I have seen a lot of E30's around lately. anyone interested in doing a meet? My car is kinda running ok, but I got it new shoes so i feel comfortable showing it off...

[McGyver]

i may be interested in doing some work. i can easily do all of that except the subframe bushings.

Hey everyone, I've been stupid busy lately with new back in school and new job.
But, I wanted to ask here vs starting a new thread if anyone new a decent shop in Richmond for some serious rear end work. I hate paying someone else because I have done most of the work, but I don't have time and thanks to new job have $$ to finish rear end.
I am looking to have guibo, csb, subframe, trailing arms, an one other thing I forgot. So, if anyone knows a place that would not rape me labor I could get it all knocked out.
Paging Jerry if you get bored and wanted the job!

its so much easier to work when you have a lift...

i do want to have a decent e30 meet, maybe a weekly thing for an hour?

I see its been awhile for this thread, but I am new to E30 ownership and in RVa. free time is elusive for me, but I am looking to meet some locals.

Patrick and Jerry at Bimmer Rescue looked over my '91 318i and my clunk coming from the rear ended up being the differential bushing.

All good Jry, I think we need to meet up at some point. See if you can help diagnose a clunk sound I have coming from the rear. Did you ever get your guibo installed? Id still like to help out if I can.

[mccor023]

yup, the vert was probably me, especially if it was on rs reps. i also have the laguna coue in my sig.

we should all get together some time soon.

hows your car running matt?

I'll be in R'mond this Saturday delevering parts and then going to the Gforce go karts with the CCA.

so damn creepy, i just realized that im going karting with a few friends and then going to the CAA tournament for VCU men's basketball today.

any update on when and where you wanted to meet? like in downtown, the fan, the west end, or short pump?

[CarsSuck]

so we raced and i lost to a bike? damn :(

what car do you drive? (its the only way i can remember people)

I have a late model, bronzit coupe. Looks stock as a rock (cause it is).

Myself and 02stu will be replacing the fuel pump on 02stu's Boxster, but would probably be down to meet-up if its somewhere in the Fan/Carytown area. Our garage is over that way, so its an easy walk.

I have an E30 in Richmond as well, but its not worth talking about. However, Mr. Bonus gets direct deposited on March 15th, so with a few thousand to play with I'm going to get another E30 and send mine on its way. I'm thinking ideally an '87 vert, so I don't have to f*ck with VA State Inspections anymore. However, I'm impulsive and I want the god damn M42 4 door hell wagon out of my life ASAP, so I'll probably jump on the first clean Vert I can find.

Thanks guys.

I could arrive via bicycle, but that defeats the point. Believe you, me, I hate the DDs as much as anyone.

And btw Jerry, I'm pretty sure I've passed you on my bike before :D

I'm here. Don't take the car out of the garage much. I do like to drink though.

so now we have that rare opportunity for you to drink and drive right?
