The unofficial official Mid-Atlantic DIY get together
Kind of a spur of the moment get together over at Clem's (Adam) house in Howard County.
I was selling off my parts, installing them and helping with other stuff. We had 4 335's in total in the garage at one time....200k in 335's just hanging out. 1st order of business was Clem changing his oil.....piece of cake on this car and really a 1 man job. I had fun doing nothing while he was doing this. Adams car is on the lift and Lilfingers (Neils) car is on the left....we installed my "old" UR intake on his car. You can see several places around the garage where Adam has been practicing his launches...lol. No wonder he cut a 1.8x 60 ft on street tires last year!! Checkin out Neils car Pseto arrives (Paul) w/ his e92 hanging out gettin a closer look Installed baby!! Neil putting in the last screw....had to feel like he helped at least a bit on his car

Souljah arrived w his e92 which was getting my Britalman exhaust.....the money shots of the whole group
Will's car goes up on the lift all 4 cars again Adams car from behind and now the trouble began!!! Will's downpipe bolts were seriously rusted, Adam and I tried everything but we ended up snapping off 2 of the bolts which are permanent and pressed into the downpipe. damnit! The exhaust is off!! I didnt get any really good pictures of Adam giving those belts hell, but I'll tell you after a full hour of drilling, cutting, sawing, and hammering he finally got them out and drilled the holes clean......what a PITA time to put the new one on Hopefully some of the other guys can post up pics of Wills face as sparks were flying from the underside of his car. now on to Paul's ride.....Mtech rear bumper time off w/ the old transfering the the mounting points for the PDC onto the Mtech bumper....glue failed at 1st then Adam used some double sided tape. Success. is that MJ? Its on...looking nice too. Had a great time, drank a few beers, hung out with friends, worked on cars and I got my 335 fix since I havent had one to tinker with in 3 months!!!! I need a new BMW......time for some fun once I get one. and many thanks to Adam's ridiculous garage, his help and everyone else for haning out, helping and having a good time. and the star of the night was this ridiculous Keronsene jet heater that kept us all from freezing..

We were telling all the guys about your face as melted chunks of plastic were coming down out of your car. oh yeah, do you recognize that red powertool in Adam's hand again?? I'm sure you have nightmare of the Fein (sp? Adam?) tool that cut about 5 pounds of plastic out of your front end.

Great job, Matt. I almost feel like I was there! That lens really gets all the action in and makes the garage look monsterous. I need to borrow that thing to take some pics of my........uh, nevermind.
I had a blast, guys. Except for those evil downpipe studs. They refused to give in and I took an ass woopin'. I went to bed hungry and woke up sore. Next time we need more food. Yes, the orange device is the almighty Fein Multimaster. A must for anyone looking to butcher a fine automobile. This stuff is fun. Who's next? |

What was a bigger PITA...drilling the holes in Will's exhaust or dealing with my coolant leak and the "plastic delete mod" associated with it?

The bolts by a mile. With your car we were just trying not to hack it up too much. Those bolts would not budge. Even after I smoked through 5 drill bits trying to bore them out. Straight from hell.

Actually the heater doesn't really smell bad at all and it will run you out of there. I have only run clear 1-K kerosene which is $2.99/gal at the local Freestate. I hear that diesel has a bit more aroma. |

Hi Adam, I am local to the group and I know Paul very well. I have been doing research and very much interested in getting the performance exhaust for my 328 E93. Would you able to help me out, is this something you can do at your garage? BTW, your garage is sick man!! I am just doing my prelimary research.
