This was in washington? WHERE?? Looks like up north of seattle, bummer I am south near Portland...

[w3fl3x]

Yep starts in kirkland. Just north of seattle.

Guys from canada comes down for this too. Come and represent the ti's.

[1996 328ti]

A dtm event without racing through the streetz?
Seems like an oxymoron.

[w3fl3x]

It's not a dtm event really.

It's put on by evolution sport.

A lot of dtm guys go on it though. Same goes for the vwvortex guys too. Heard some crazy stories about the vdub guys last year though.

[3DGE]

Dude when I get my car looking like I want it, and when I have time/money I fo show stop by and check that event out!!!

I have only once or twice been that far up north, so it should be fun!

What's your plan for the ti?

[3DGE]

RIght now, new lights (front) rearend bumper (its off a bit and ugly) muffler, that side molding stuff, i want to get a Dian chip. Then later get some new rims like 18inch, new sound system, new hood(paint is crap). My issue is money, I need a better job...

[angel318ti]

I am there but I don't know what to drive. The pimped out ti or the moster M3. wow how do I decide:confused2

[w3fl3x]

Take the ///M. :D

I'll be in mine.

[angel318ti]

I guess I will if I don't get my tranny fixed in time. hey W3FL3X, do you know of an auto tranny in the area for sale?

[w3fl3x]

Have you checked the psr cca for sale section? I've seen a few in the past.

[angel318ti]

[w3fl3x]

BmWwHiPPin i'll give you a call next week if i have some free time to check your car out.

[angel318ti]

[3DGE]

Dude can i drive your ti, I dont think my ti is pimpedout enough, and it has lots of body issues.

Also you can check this place, http://www.autobahnsport.com/ They are in Portland, but they have alot of BMW stuff. They told me the other day that they where getting a m3 car in the next few days, I am so going to check thatout!!

[w3fl3x]

Are they going to put that m3 on ebay?

[3DGE]

No, well maybe parts, they told me they are parting it out. That place has alot of stuff, everywhere. IT was crazy! I just emailed them, if they have anything I am heading back down to have a look.

[w3fl3x]

I want that ltw wheel they have on ebay but don't have the cash right now cause just had to get new tires.

It would make a good spare plus help shed a couple pounds by taking the coutour out.

It's almost the day of the drive. Hope to see some of you guys there.

There's going to be a couple of seperate meeting spots before we get to evolution motorsports too.

8:30 am at red robin parking lot in front of seatac mall
9:00 am southcenter og spot (over by bahama breeze and nordstrom)
9:30-10 am at totem lake then drive over to evo sport

Trying to show up in a group so we can all drive as a group of bimmers and not with the vdubbers.

[angel318ti]

[BmWwHiPPin]

[w3fl3x]

Pmed you my cell.

My brother should be taking lots of pics so i'll post them up after the drive as well as links to others who took pictures for those that can't make it to the drive.

[angel318ti]

I'll give you a call tomorrow around 8:00am. gotta wash the car in the morning.

[w3fl3x]

It's almost time for the drive.

I'll see everyone at one of the meeting spot before evo sport.

Oh we might meet at the starbucks across the street from seatac mall instead cause of all the construction in the seatac mall parking lot.
Don't really feel like getting my car all dirty and dusty within 5 mins of leaving my house.

[angel318ti]

all of you guys missed out on the drive! Thank god I drove the M3 because there was no way I would have kept up if I drove the Ti.

I only wish things like this happened every weekend! I am sorry to say that out out over 320 cars not even one Ti made it there that day so next time it will be my responsibility to make sure it happens!

Told you so that the m3 would be a wise choice to take.

I'll gather all of the links and post up the pics my brother took soon.

It'll be in a new thread.

I hope more ti's show up next time. One would be better then none. :wink:

Yeah, hopefully I will have my S52 swap done by then on the Ti. hey w3fl3x, I was looking into the M50 manifold swap for the M. do you know of any place that might have the manifold around the area?
