Northwest e30 meet - Sat. March 31st, 2007

[Jand3rson]

The tech days I host aren't like the BMWCCA ones, I'm not teaching anything ;) Bring your own projects and get your hands dirty. Best way to learn is to do. Or in Grant's case, have done for you :P I have a good amount of tools people can use (if they promise to return them clean and where they found them) plus a garage if it's raining. I always ask to keep the projects you are working on limited to ones that can be completed in a day. Usually with the corrado group, it's half BS session, half work. People are welcome to come hang out if they don't have projects to work on and either help others or play "supervisor" ;)

That's definitely not too far for me to get some help with getting work done. In fact, I'd be down for driving up there for sure if some people would be willing to help me do my input shaft seal on my tranny. That's really the only job I have that I'm dreading doing.

I have so many projects haha, hopefully they are done long before this meet tho.

What all would be involved in the tech session? Oly isn't too far for me.

I was thinking about hosting a tech day in the spring and I'm located sorta central (near Olympia) to Seattle and Portland if people wanted to go that route... or we can do both and a tech day will be another month.

mines really not that bad.. about 19 on the freeway. but it doesn't run super rich like yours did. :(

[Mot]

Meh, No one is allowed to complain about gas milage. I drove to Bfest06 with my stroker e30... avg mpg: 14. Do you have any idea how much money it cost me to get down there and back. I shoulda just trailered my car.

[tonytony]

you shouldn't have done a stroker nando;) and josh your wife does not make since to me either, Ptown is that place to be, seattle is kool good but hands down ptown, shit that rhymes

[nando]

Doing that another month sounds good to me, because if it gets moved to Olympia, while that's great for all the Portland and Seattle people, it kind of boots me out of the running. Olympia is ~5 hrs for me.

waaaah.. any way you look at it, I'll have to drive at least 4 hours to get to any of these meets. and my car doesn't exactly get great gas mileage either. :D

[Jand3rson]

I've got to talk my wife into moving to Portland. She loves Seattle and would live there, but hates Portland. I don't get it.

yeah, that's kinda what I was thinking the issue would be... well I will shoot for an April tech day then. I'll post a date when it gets closer and the Spring Corrado tech day date is finalized :)

If someone wants to try and come up with a location that's a little more central to both Oregon and Washington, I don't have a problem with that.

[Jand3rson]

he was in the back of the pack last time!!!!!!!!!!! and lets just decide on a location and keep it!

I think we should just stick with Copeland's at Valley River Center in Eugene.

Yea...my turbo car's clutch spins 4k rpms 3rd gear and up....woot power + stock clutch... :(

[Kruzen]

You need it to be in Oregon that way you can use gas, your clutch, seals, etc as your excuses to not go. :D

Pretty much. I'm not driving to oregon until my clutch gets an overhaul, when the power went out a couple weeks ago I was stuck in stop and go traffic going through town in federal way for an hour and my clutch was slipping so bad that my whole car was shaking and my rear wheels were jumpiing up and down rattling my diff, sways, and suspension.

Fuck driving to oregon on a clutch like that.
