Timing Belt Party / Check - In

[Bishop]

lol Sam you saw the inside.... There's only 1 open bay. But there is plenty of space outside the garage too. We have 1 heater, but another 1 or 2 would be really nice I'm sure.... If we can use the space that is.

[ZombiE30]

What's all this "if" nonsense? What else would there be in a driveway?!?

Also, it being colorado, we may not need a heater since it coule be 80 degrees. It also might be 2.

[Bishop]

My dad's truck, my mom's car (if were in the open garage spot) and my sister's truck lol... Still, plenty of room though. (and no, I'm not some spoiled little rich kid).

and I'd rather have 5 heaters on standby and not need em, than have it be 15* and everyone moving like glue.

[ZombiE30]

gotcha!
well, it kinda seems like the best option so far, but I could definitely fit three cars in my driveway if people don't mind working at a 25 degree angle.
well, two comfortably.

it's also approx 5 minutes from the GTG meeting point.

[ZombiE30]

also, Stoliver has a huge driveway/dirt road/backyard. Not inside, but would accomadate many.

Haven't seen him check in though......

[Bishop]

I am down, either the night before or morning whatever. I took my sweet ass time when I did mine before.... Maybe there are some tricks to getting it done faster, but I was just going off of the Bentley.

So Peter you are planning on doing it in the Splitz parking lot? That would be interesting, I wonder how pissed they would be about coolant leaking everywhere. And the drinking in a public place thing while a bunch of guys are working on their cars may draw unwanted attention, just a thought.

I do like the idea of being all greasy and nasty, looking like a homeless redneck and going bowling. Sounds like fun.

And nice sig Peter, I know I say that way too much in person, but have I actually posted that?

He did, but who knows if he'll let a bunch of bums crash his place to work on cars and make a mess and such.

[Atreus]

where is this gonna be? what city?

[stoliver54]

I do have a long dirt driveway at my dads house, thanks for reminding me Peter.

The reason why I did not recommend it is that it is half ice, and the other half mud right now. Didn't think it was the ideal location for wrenching.

I also have a similar situation to you Ben, lots of misc. vehicles in the way... But it is an option if nothing else presents itself.

[Atreus]

who here has NOT done a timing belt job before?

[Roland H]

<--- This guy. I've taken one off a volvo, but it has yet to go back on.

[Atreus]

haha. well i'm lookin forward to meeting a couple of y'all. when we get the finer details sorted out...

[Bishop]

I haven't ever done a timing belt.

[ZombiE30]

alright, so unless something awesome pops up, I think we need to start planning the logistics for either Bishop's place, or my driveway/street.

Also Bishop.....since it's your first timing belt, you have to wear it around your neck for the rest of the day and tell everyone that you are the King of Zanzibar.

It's e30 tradition.

you are quite risible, my friend.

[Bishop]

My house is a go. We need a definite count for whose coming and who needs belts. I have a bentley and some tools here. So we need tools probably, especially the fancy ones.
