Who's interested in another PNW Tech Day?

[cg138]

I would love to come to a tech day. I may have a couple of small things to take care of, no big projects.

[James Crivellone]

May 5th is Pro3 opening weekend, so I'll be racing @ Portland. However if you have it in April i'd stop by :)

Chris, i think I can make this. Rolling the daily right now ('91 318i) but maybe I'll have the M50 swap in by the time end of April rolls around....I sure miss my rado and those corrado tech days!!

I have a intermittant fuel guage id love to show to a pro sometime. I have a full tool set.

Actually I know everything about it but id love to have someone who knows how to take out the dash without breaking anything

T belt and water pump shouldn't take more than a few hours, including beverage breaks

[boxen]

anyone have some know how on doing the timing belt and water pump? i wouldn't mind learning with someone direction on how to do it...if not i'd be game to come down and meet some fellow E30 owners and help bang out some projects...i'm pretty new to the scene

I think this could probably be done in a day...The issues I remember from doing mine were that draining the coolant (and bleeding the system after you're done) is a messy pita (not hard, though), and you might need to have a special wrench to get at the fan clutch nut (as said in every online howto I've read). Someone in the area probably has these tools, but it's not me.
If you have the parts and tools, it can be done in a day, I believe.

[Den_k321]

[Mlarsen]

Yeah that'd be pretty lame if you can't get your car done.

[LuckyHenriksen]

So unless you plan on working fast, having help and nothing going wrong, subframe work would probably not be recommended :p

Hahaha exactly ;)

[cramer]

We'll never have a day when everyone who wants to attend can make it, but I do my best to accomondate the majority :)
