We went north/north west area...I'll post the directions from the last run incase you want to check it out (will scan/post once I get home)

I believe he asked 'when' not 'where.'

I'd like to know when too.

e90AW335i · 10-11-2008, 11:21 PM

Keep me updated on the next track day. I will keep updated on this thread 2 or 3 times a week so I dont miss something.

I would love to run my car....hopefully mid 12's....

stevenc · 10-12-2008, 07:47 AM

I think im going to head out to sealy next week and try some things. HRP was crazy busy Friday night, wait was about 1 hour per run.

ianthegreat · 10-12-2008, 11:07 AM

buddy of mine got season tickets to the rockets and rarely has anyone to go with, score. was in austin last weekend and wow they have some nice twisties along lake travis in the barton creek area.

scott@bmwhn · 10-14-2008, 12:04 AM

Austin roads are the shit! watch out though, Travis county cops dont play around. The roads make for a pretty easy get away assuming he's going the other direction and has to turn around.

Makushr1 · 10-14-2008, 09:02 AM

Anyone got the Riss Racing Oil Catch Can? I was wondering (unbiased opinion) if it is worth it. The way I feel is that the more mods you put on your car, the more chances there are for something to screw up, and mess up your car in return. They arnt too pricy (only $85ish I believe), so if they do actually help the life of your car, I think they are worth it. If they are as important as some people believe (alot of these people are probably biased), why dont we have one in our car already?

PatsE92 · 10-14-2008, 11:27 AM

Well Katy technically.

No mods, just me. Would be interested in a meet/drive. I work off Briar Forrest/Beltway 8 and have seen quite a few E9x's in the area. Suprisingly fewer than I expected though.

I had one and I just sold it. Keep in mind the catch can is 85 and the install kit is 29.

Is it worth it? Sure, it is preventative maintenance and it cant hurt.

I am not sure why we dont have one on our cars to begin with.....

Let me know if you get one and you need it installed.

darkphantom · 10-15-2008, 12:05 AM

currently trying to setup a date for the run, we've gotten options from dec 6th to dec 13th.

I'm shooting for sometime in november, what do you guys think?

What kind of run? Drag stip or just a drive?

C62335i · 10-15-2008, 07:28 AM

Die-Hard Rockets fan checking in. Hope we stay healthy this year and SF3 makes a comeback.

The last fun run looked great. Please PM me when yall confirm the next meet.

I don’t check in the regional forum much cause it is relatively week.

Not sure I'd be able to make anything. So no date suggestion here.

Keep us updated and I'll see if I can make it.

It's going to be a "fun run" i.e. a drive....through some twisties in texas

Autumnbahn is going down in november, so we're trying to see if we can get a run going together with them

Pappy · 10-16-2008, 10:21 AM

Waller..

2008 328i. coupe black/coral red.

No pix yet..

darkphantom · 10-16-2008, 01:21 PM

Alright guys, I've got somewhat of an unofficial date, but lets see how many people agree on this, Weekend of November 15/16 one of those days, we can do a run. That is the weekend before AutumnBahn...

What do you guys think?

Car Enthusiast · 10-16-2008, 11:36 PM

Another Houstonian checking in. I've got a white e92 with dual intake, aero front lip, and m3 rear spoiler. I'd be down to hit up a meet if we can get one together.

Through the beginning of next year, I have to keep every weekend open. It seems mid-week every week something comes up for the weekend. But if I can, I will be there.

Last year FChat guys met up on Thanksgiving morning for coffee and a cruise and we'll try and do that again this year. I'll keep ya posted on if that happens of not. We made it from Uptown Park to Sugarland in 5 minutes just to give you an idea of how much fun we had.
