PDX tech meet: Round III

[KenC]

I'm going to show for a bit in the morning. I'm going to do the awful task of changing my chain tensioner ;)

[James Crivellone]

my damn exhaust is STILL not in yet, so no e30, I'll be in the M3 instead =)

[Jand3rson]

Well, the fishing trip is cancelled, but it's snowing in the mountains. So I'm still a no-go.

You bringing a keg?? I have to see that someday. (been drinking Dead Guy lately I'd rate it a 5 out of 10)
How are the front wheel bearings?

haha, if you supply the keg I'd be more than happy to display my "one-man keg stand" :)

Dead Guy, although the most popular of Rogue beers, is definitely not their best. I'm torn between Younger's Special Bitter and Shakespeare Stout for my favorites from them.

See ya Sat!


Front bearings are still great! Although when I was putting everything back together on the passenger side, I only hand-tightened the screws on the sheet metal dust shield. It was only a matter of a week or so until all of the damn screws fell out and it sounded like I had a trash-can lid for a front wheel. Thanks again to Joe for supplying me with some screws to re-attach it. And yes, yes I did have to pull the caliper and rotor off to accomplish that :(

Sweet, sound good i will try to stop by for a bit.

How often do you guys get together to work on cars??

[KenC]

How often do you guys get together to work on cars??

It was like once a month in the Summer... not sure what the rainy season will hold though.

[Van Westervelt]

I work on an e30 at least once a week. Usually its one of mine though. :)

I got one more job to tackle on Sat, swapping out the e36 front brakes for e30 ones.

You have a bleeder there Keith? Or with enough guys, I'm sure the preferred manual method can be done.

[Keith M]

Curt - I have a Motive Bleeder.

K

[Van Westervelt]

is that a hand bleeder or pneumatic vaccuum?

[Mot]

going back to e30 brakes why?

[backtrail69]

I am assuming so he can fit some man sized tires on 15s or 16s.
