what exactly is a road rally

[ELVA164]

They give you a route and a time to finish in, the car closest to that time wins.

The ones sound here have random staggered checkpoints, so it is a constant process of doing quick math, and adjusting your pace to stay on target.

It comes down to hundredths of seconds vs feet traveled. Driving through the backwoods of upstate NY, at night, in the dark, on snow covered dirty roads while trying to maintain a predetermined pace and decipher the sometimes cryptic directions makes for a much more intense experience than you would think you can legally have on public roads.

So bummed that I'll be in TN! Know if this is the last one?

[Andy.B]

There are 3 or 4 more this year. No worries.

Anybody know of a driveshaft shop that will service BMW drive shafts in upstate NY? I've tried every one local to me, and none of them will touch it.

I need a driveshaft shortened to finish off my m30 swap, and while Driveshaft Specialists in Texas can do it for a fair price, I'd like to find out of there is anyone closer first.

Hi Everyone,

I've been a long time lurker but since leaving TX and selling my main car for an SUV most of my time is now spent on the e30. I'm in the Albany area, but I don't DD the e30.

If anyone knows where I can get a decent set of 51mm strut housings let me know!

Old project and new project below

Hey! Welcome to the area, now it looks like we might finally have enough people for a quick albany meetup sometime soon.

There's some pretty good backroads out here that are a blast to drive in the e30.

With this sudden warm weather, it's looking likely that I'll be able to take my E30 out of storage maybe next week or so! got a lot of goodies for it over the winter :]

MY uncle works at a trucking shop that makes drive shafts:
(607) 723-7481

Ask for Timmy Forker(In drive line) tell him Brandon sent you and that you have a bmw e30 just like mine.

I appreciate it, but I unfortunately already sourced a shaft from driveshaftspecialist.com.

Next time I need a shaft I'll get in touch.
