    Colorado "DIY DAY" set for Oct 1st

    I started this thread on Bimmerforums. Thought it would be a good idea to post it here also.

    Link to the Bimmerforums thread:

Our professionals are here to help make sure you find the answers you need to your questions and our community is here to help other brainstorm ideas for the future.



    Hello all. My name is Todd. I will be hosting a "DIY DAY" at a shop in Wheat Ridge, Colorado called Conti Automotive. At the bottom of the post is a link to Google maps with the address. We will be starting the day around 9:30 am on October 1st which is a Saturday. It will probably end no later than 4:30. A "DIY DAY" gives people that would like some help working on the car a chance to meet other people that are willing to help them with their repairs, service or upgrade installs. Typical jobs completed on these types of days tend not to take more than 2-3 hours, so no head gaskets or engine installs people. lol Also, since this is at a business there will be NO ALCOHOL ALLOWED at this "DIY DAY". Future ones at a private residence may be different when it comes to alcohol though (typically is :) ). If you have any questions feel free to PM me and ask or just add to the thread. If you would like to attend this "DIY DAY" all you have to do is show up. If you know what work you would like to do to your car post it up so the proper people and tools may be available. Thanks for reading.

    Is there really three separate events, or is everyone just making threads on the same event?

      Same event. This one is from the guy setting it up, so this is the official one.

      - E30, DSM, Golf R, Mazda 3 Skyactiv

        That's correct. Just trying to spread the word as much as possible. :)

              A few pics from today. Nice turnout. I'm waiting on parts so I didn't do anything, but it was nice to put names and faces with cars and screen names.

              Thanks to Todd for putting this together. I'm looking forward to more events like this. (I did make sure and grab a shot of one of the E30s on hand FBO this forum.) :D

                So, out of curiosity, what kind of jobs got done?

                  There was a motor mount, a few fenders rolled, one guy replaced his front bumper and driver's fender, a few oil changes, a seafoam treatment or three, and a few other jobs I can't remember. Easy stuff, except for the oil change on that diamant ix that exposed a cracked oil pan

                    No one makes this car anymore. The government won't allow them, normal people won't buy them. So it's up to us: the freaks, the weirdos, the informed. To buy them, to appreciate them, and most importantly, to drive them.
