Colorado general chat...

If you guys find a pile of "i" lips in a junk yard, I could use one also, my lip didn't survive some part of the journey across the atlantic... It cracked on both sides :(

On a more positive note, I picked up the M5 in St. Louis Friday night! Here she is with the new shoes.

[blefevre]

Very nice! Glad to see it got fixed.

Fixed is subjective :(

the body work is good, but the car as a whole is definetly not in the same condition it was in before the accident

[blefevre]

Well at least it's on the road again.

[Eric]

yes yes, very true! And the S38B35 sounds just fantastic! Like an old ferrari motor with the volume turned down:bow:

Is everything landed in the US and in CO yet, or are you still waiting on shipping cars / parts? M5 home yet? When can we pester you to come to a meet or drive and track time?

[fsmtnbiker]

Hey Chris will they wrk on a e46?

The front seats will definitely bolt-in. Not sure about the rear seat, I kinda doubt it?

Yes, picked up the Jeep and the 325 friday morning and drove them home to San Angelo, then got back on a plane for St. Louis and picked up the M5. In total, I traveled 2,419 miles in 53 hours:o

So MINI is up in CO and my wife is DDing it.

325, Jeep, and M5 are here in Texas until August. I think i'm going to do a HPDE at Motorsport Ranch with the BMWCCA on april 30/May 1st, but other than that the 325 has little use out here sine there is nothing motorsports related in a 200 mile radius :(

I'm probably going to tow/trailer the jeep and 325 up to colorado memorial day weekend, but I'll be spending the whole time knee deep in the lady instead of farting around with internet friends:rofl:

I have a report date of August 1st, so I'll definitely be good to go with track days after that! I'm excited to find out that pikes peak is still open for club events!

[monkeytaco]

Eric, that m5 now looks sickening and its going to give me naughty dreams. I don't really want the summer to fly by, but I can't wait to check out that car in person.

Also, I replaced tie rods and sway bar links in the coupe on saturday afternoon. It took about 2 hours, about 1.5 hours of which was farting around talking about cars. Super easy job, if anyone else needs to do it I'm willing to help.

Now I have to get the new tires on, align it, and do a bazillion other things after doing the head gasket on the sedan...

Maybe I should find a more interesting motor for the coupe, anyone have a spare s38 sitting around?

Where are some of the better junk yards around here? just moved to colorado about 3 months ago so I don't really know where anything is. Would like to get some interior plastics for my 325iS

That's fine. I will drive your E30 around to make sure it works at elevation and canyons and stuff...

Adam pretty much is the junk yard at this moment. But he should be able to give you a pretty good list. I usually go to the u pull and pays as well as that one on santa fe near bellview. I forget what it's called though.

WTB: Two "vintage" floor speakers. Looking for something with a woofer, mid, and tweeter. I would really like Klipsch KG4 or similar.

[fsmtnbiker]

Active Race Header + Race Exhaust = Epic winning. Charlie Sheen has nothing on this exhaust.

Anybody have an M50 manifold laying around? Last piece of the puzzle for my car.

[Roland H]

Anyone have a spare driveshaft for a volvo 240 lying around? Probably going to have to hit the yards today.

I think I have a (more serious) driveshaft issue this time. Which probably caused the muffler to fall off in the first place. blech.
