Is there a link to this meet or is this an informal get together?

Informal get together, I guess. Here’s the IG post:

I’ll be at the Hayward pre meet

Hey fam!
Don't think I'll make it to this one.
I was uncertain but my sis and I are planning on a surprise trip for our parents for their anniversary to Napa and it starts Friday night.
I'll def try to make it to the next one!

Man I am actually really bummed... Was looking forward to meet some of you guys and see other F30's.

Welcome! GT is dope. Thought about getting my parents into one. Too bad they're not refreshing it for the new redesign.

Now I feel super old lol

Not where I was going, haha. They've just never had a high end car and I wanted to get them into something with more practicality, but a platform I'm familiar with to help with maintenance and such. And was sort of hoping for xDrive so I could borrow it for Tahoe trips.

Alas, they ended up in an N54 E90.

Also, the plan is to meet in SJ at 10:30, just to cut the guys coming down from Sac a little extra time in the morning.

StealthnShadow · 10-29-2018, 04:49 PM

We should in the future plan a California F30 Meet, potentially meet some place in the middle like San Obispo or so, just a thought and have a great time at the meet.

N26Ghost · 10-29-2018, 05:50 PM

Last bit done in prep for the meet.

My girl has gone from stock 328 muffler to 335i muffler and now has beautiful BMS angle-cut tips to complete the aesthetic. So much better than those puny, dingy tips she started with.

Nice! How does it sound? Noticeable difference?

I just got under my car today to do a quick check and it appears I have an oil leak somewhere. Probably won't have time to find and fix the problem by the 10th, but I'll top it off and make sure to carry an extra quart with me just in case.

Slow. but I am hoping it will be next week. funny enough I actually dont have rental coverage due to the fact I have 2 cars and Motorcycle.

How difficult was that to do? This is something I’d love to do for the wagon... right now I’m considering doing the MPE and later maybe upgrading because going with dualies on a non m-sport body package seems to be less straightforward and more $$$.

N26Ghost · 10-29-2018, 10:23 PM

I hear you. If you aren't starting with an M Sport bumper, it is a bit of a chore. Really two routes to take: a) get an M Sport bumper and do this conversion (335 rear diffuser and dual tip muffler of choice) or b) get the AWE bumper template and mod your bumper to make room for the right-exit tips (because you already have two tips on the left side, you'd need quad tips otherwise it will look janky). I was able to source the parts from the member classifieds section. $75 for the diffuser, $125 for the muffler and $100 to have a local shop install both. At that price it was super tough to pass up in favor for a spicier alternative.

Thanks for the insight! At this point my thought is to wait on getting the quad setup, really liking the AWE switch path

Hey Guys.... just to confirm things for the coming meet. Those in the Sacramento area plan to meet at Rescate Coffee at 7am. Is that correct? What time should we head out for our two hour drive to San Jose?

Sounds about right to me, I am fine with it
