I figured I'd help he (or she) who needs it, have a bite and take a few pics. I might adjust the height of the COs. You know I don't wash my cars...  I will bring my detail case and orbital in case I get inspired.  __________________

Anyone experienced with exhaust manifold gaskets? I could probably use some help with that, but I imagine there wouldn't be enough time since I'll be arriving there later. __________________ 1997 318ti 5-speed Moreagrün

Thinking about it, I will want to do a compression check on the Cali. Prep for another project. John, how many floor jacks / Jackstands do you have? __________________

Do you have spare nuts and studs as well? Good to have on hand along with some copper antiseize for reinstall, Quote: Originally Posted by wolferj Ok, so is this going to be a wrenching meet, a detailing meet or just a eating meet? | Looks like simple wrenching and tuning. Probably shameless photos too... Simple food and drink, although I won't stand in the way if someone brings that Blue Cheese Mac and cheese again. What about teriyaki chicken burgers? or Tri Tip on Hawaiian bread? Easy to make and Costco sourced. Might be warm this weekend, so stuff to keep folks hydrated while still seeing straight. Not 10 cases of beer like last time for 8 of us. __________________
