Really wish I coulda gone...but I spent all day working on my car (i.e. waiting for fucking parts)



But I am able to partake in the grilling as we just finished building our new outdoor kitchen :D

Yeah it was pretty fun to build.

God this oil pan shouldn't be this much of a pain in the ass...swapping the oil pan would have been less of a hassle than this is right now

That sucks! Raise the car when you're done, this is oil pan #2 due to low ride height.

I didn't bust an oil pan, I just went to change the oil before installing an ejnight skid plate and the drain plug hole threads are stripped. It should be an easy helicoil fix but finding the right kit took 2 days and now that we have it all installed the drain plug doesn't want to thread all the way...so I bought another shorter one and now the head on that one doesn't fit into the cut out.

Just annoying that nothing will work out right...but what's new...

Just JB-Weld one of these things in and call it a day. I have one on the Volvo, and we had one for the airplane too so we could heat the oil up in the morning after camping.

drive was ehh... prius driver had us trapped for parts of it, and then the motorcyclist blocked us from the fun part...

BBQ was a great time though, food was epic (thanks guys!) and everyone had a good time.

I was considering one of those, would it be compatible with a skid plate (i.e. not be in the way)?

This.

I was told there would have been pics if not for a certain Subaru in the background.... not sure if any pics were taken.

Was a great meet and lots of relaxing fun!

I don't know. I don't own an E30, nor a skid plate. But it goes in the exact place as your drain plug, so I don't see why it would be a problem.

I forgot my camera :(

Fun times though. Lesson learned.....just buy an E36 M3.

Coasting all the way down lookout because I ran out of gas was pretty epic! Thanks Ian for the gas! :)
