The one where everyone drives painfully slowly through the white stuff every morning on the way to work and I have to pass them all in my E30.

...what white stuff? It snowed maybe 5 times down here.

cool, I'd love to check out your ix, i've always wanted one. Are you going to the sonic meet on the 13th?

Our next get together is scheduled for Aug. 13th at 1 pm at The Hub, 4460 Forest Hills Rd.

I'm gonna try to make it, but ive been scheduled to work 3-11 on weekends this summer. Don't forget its not at sonic.

on what? for what purpose?

1986 325ix for my turbo set up. I just need fuel and spark for now

Already has the SR20DET. Just fix it up and you are set.

I emailed him, he hasn't responded.

I have been talking with the guy about the car Brad posted. It is primer black and has the one area of body damage. How hard would it be to fix that? The swap looks pretty well done, it actually had a blown turbo not hg. I have seen Rebuilt Nissan turbos go for 250-300 on CL. If I could get it for 1500 or less I would seriously consider it.

Can you do body work yourself? If not, ask the seller if you and him can get an estimate at a body shop. If the swap is done properly then you have the hard part finished already.

[325ix]

That is my thought. I almost want the car just because I like the a lot as much as I do for the track. From what I have gathered it will do decent on the track, very similar to an E30.

I haven't done body work before, but I don't see why I couldn't push it out, bondo it and primer it. I will probably have maaco have them do a cheapo paint job since I am not making a show car.

That 240 looks like one of Finken's creations LOL.

Or David might have one, but it's really not necessary...

Went to the Rawhide Power Plant today. My Cousin works there so she gave us a little tour. I don't know if anyone else has been on one of these tours, but I found it really amazing. Just the immensity of everything is amazing.

I managed to snap some pics, so here they are.

Driving up to the plant







Scale model of the plant (Everything to scale, except for the stack)









Model of the generator



Busted cooling (?) pipe...



Pictures of construction





The generator. This is what gives you people in Fort Collins and Loveland and a few other places power. It's amazing how small it is for how much it does. There's so much space around it so that when they do their scheduled maintenance, there's a specific spot for every part.







Inside the generator.



Stuff around it.



View outside the generator room



Coal pulverisers :D



Random stuff...I don't know what it does











Parts of the pulveriser thingies



Outside



This tower removes mercury from the waste



Parts of the air filtration. Half the facility is dedicated to air filtration.











Chimney!!









The hugeness of this place is hard to grasp in pictures...







Current demand and supply



Bye bye



And a nice Mkii Jetta

Rodge, for some reason I thought "the Hub" was part of the Sonic address, not the name of the establishment!
