Any Philly People?

JasonWilson48 mentioned that Mainline Cars & Coffee is happening on October 26 for anyone interested and we could get a group together to cruise over.

Main Line Cars & Coffee - Home

kyleconstantine, ZeKahr, Swoozley Macklin, mderienzo, Aleman , DJNikonn , dreamchasin anyone interested in gathering along the way?

And Kyle, I need to give back your torque plate! Its safe and together, just been sitting forever since the machine work on my engine was done a while ago.

Would love to man, but my E30 is in pieces right now for timing belt replacement, giubo replacement and diff swap LOL. It'll maybe be ready for some November leaf peeping or Spring driving!

One fun route I can recommend is to drive on Conestoga Rd from Haverford Rd all the way to Cassatt Rd. Hilly, curvy, wooded, not a lot of stop lights or much traffic usually.

The show is from 7:30-noon and you have to register for an entry timeslot:

• 7:30-8:00
• 8:00-8:30
• 830:-9:00
• 9:00-9:30
• 9:30-10:00

If we were to meet in East Falls or Bala Cynwyd, it would be 45min-1hr drive out to C&C. I'd be down to meet just before 7:30 so we can get there for the 8:30-9:00 entry. I'm also open to other meeting points and suggestions on the driving route.

Thoughts?

[JasonWilson48]

Yeah, I live up near Manayunk, and I think McGyver is down in south philly. I'd be down to meet wherever around Philly. You have to register, but it's free. And if you register and don't show, they don't care. They just do it to get your contact info, and hire the right amount of police/volunteers to direct people.

Does anyone know a guy named Roman from South Philly with a shop around Front and Oregon called something like "R Motors"?

I was driving the e30 to get some Thai food the other night and chatted with him at a light. He said he has an '87 325is and his shop is word-of-mouth only. He seems like he could be a good connection to make, but I can't find him online.

************************************

I ended up finding him and got to check out his shop. He's got a ton of cool old cars he's working on, some for himself and some for customers. I'm sure he'd take on new work if you have a cool car/motorcycle and are looking for a new mechanic in South Philly.

if youre into firearms...ever go to Bunker gun shop?

I've been past it a few times on the way to the Hoagie Factory, but I'm not much of a gun person. Shot some in Boy Scouts, but that was about it.

Trash collection is on strike right now, so added fun!

I actually work in Ivyland/Warminster.

Oh i know it, so much has changed. There used to be more than a handful of folks who always had a parts car going.

Evan Luce is a great resource too. His stuff is fairly priced and he's SpecE30 adjacent so he's in the know.

Edit: I just looked at his marketplace profile and he has an 885 up for sale:

Yeah, I found his FB posts and hit him up. He cut me a decent package deal, but then I found a crusty head for free. It'll be good enough for this build, but I'll keep him in mind for future stuff. We just didn't have timing worked out this time.

I have not, but I will! Thanks for the advice!

Maybe my Google skills have declined, but I'm kind of surprised at how few e30 parts are available in the area.

Does anyone have a spare 885 head sitting around?

I thought my sedan had a head gasket leak, only to find two cracks in the head. I'm trying to get something quick so the car is drivable while I finish building the new engine. Obviously this is for an m20b25. Thanks!
