I have about 43k miles on my car now, a lot of those are highway miles and just purchased a media blaster and a box of walnut shells. I also purchased a bentley manual and when the weather gets nicer, I plan on seeing how my valves look.

I want to change my transfer case fluid this year, I chagned both differential fluids last year.

At the track, I launch at about 2-2.4k rpms and get about 1.75-1.85 60s and the car seems to run like a champ still, cross my fingers.

Sounds like you've got some nice mods on your xi... I stopped by VAC a few weeks ago to check out their shop, very nice place.

I was contemplating doing the diff's and transfer case flushes myself, but I don't have a pump so I just let Rahal do them today. I'm glad I did too as my front differential pinion seal was leaking pretty bad so they replaced it and the connector.

Let me know if/when you do the carbon cleaning as I would like to do this as well.

No problem, I enjoy tackling diy jobs but work keeps me so damn busy I hope I dont tackle something that will end up being a bigger hassle than I originally thought. I come from working on Japanese cars so we'll see how this translates to German auto.

And ya, Vac is definitely in a dump of an area but they for sure have the hardware to do some major modifications in house.

It's like 77 degrees here today. Anyone down for a little meet??

jdrdeer · 03-18-2012, 11:16 AM

Dude you guys suck man. I came here from ny/nj and there are meets all the time since the weather is nice! I haven't even been spotted and I drive my car around downtown everyday and it is the ONLY car like this I have seen.

SpmnE9zero · 03-26-2012, 08:26 PM

Glad to see this is still going! Although the car has been sold... I hope to see some meets come together this summer.

SpmnE9zero · 03-27-2012, 10:52 AM

If anyone is in need of Pre-LCI side skirts let me know. I still have my oem skirts and need them out of the garage. Individual can have them, they are jet black.

They have a minor scuff that can hardly be seen when on the car and they could use a good buff to bringback to life.

Shoot me a pm if interested.

Lucky man, you live close to Pittsburgh Raceway. I caught the drag strip bug last year and living in the South Hills is a hell of a drive out 22 to get there.

Congrats on the purchase.

TwinTurboXI · 03-29-2012, 07:06 AM

Anyone going to the stacks meet on Friday at the waterfront?

Supposed to be a couple hundred cars going, never been to one myself.

Pits; I believe I saw your car at Rahal earlier this week... Looked great!

O HELLA BMW · 03-29-2012, 09:20 AM

If the weather tomorrow is good I'm down but tomorrow it's saying rain

Goettler_Boost · 04-09-2012, 12:51 PM

Anybody in here good at buffing cars?

TwinTurboXI · 04-16-2012, 11:20 AM

Paulilama · 04-20-2012, 03:08 PM

Great day out for some cruisin. Heading to Rivertown for the Pens game if anyone is out in Irwin.

PS just ordered some Forgestar F14's in gunmetal. lets get some meets planned this month!

Leroi · 04-23-2012, 01:06 PM

Just had a wheel repaired/refinished. All Pro wheel repair - Bridgeville/South Hills area. Great match, good guy. He travels to the local dealerships M-F, but fixes wheels on the weekend at Bower Hill FVD. His cell (412) 583-7298

Second time I had him repair wheels, in case anyone is looking

Paulilama · 07-19-2012, 02:13 PM

BUMP! This thread is so quiet... Did all of the E90s exodus out of pittsburgh or what?? Here are some recent pics, just got my Forgestars in the other day.

pawarrant · 07-19-2012, 02:50 PM

Nice! The days are numbered on my E90. I am picking up my F30 in Munich in less than 2 months.

Paulilama · 07-19-2012, 02:58 PM

Cant wait to see pics of that when you get it! and mannnn you go through bimmers like clockwork LOL every 3 years on the mark!!

pawarrant · 07-19-2012, 03:09 PM

Yea thats the joy of leasing...new one every 3 years. I'll have my current one a bit longer since the F30 xdrive did not go into production until this month. They let me extend the lease until my new one comes back from Germany after I take delivery.
