Just wanted to say Thanks to Erik, Gordon, Rob, Jim and Kit and everyone else!!! My Powerflexes feel great, the rear is really locked down now. Hope the afternoon session went well for everyone. >>>Mat

Thanks again to the whole gang. New brakes, rotors, and esp. alignment feel great as well.

Pizza was a great bonus too! Looking forward to the next one -matthew

Guys, thanks for hosting this again.

I had 90k on my 95 M3. My stock right RTAB was torn slightly, the stock left RTAB looked fine. I was the last Powerflex RTAB installed today but damn you guys did it fast.

Mr. Kit sawzalled the orignals out in literally 2 minutes, the whole procedure including jacking up the car and taking off and putting on the wheels and the RTAB installed took less than 30 minutes! You guys were quick! I guess everyone had lots of practice doing the RTAB removal and install.

Aftereards, the rear end felt unusually planted, unlike the looseness before the Powerflexes. The special antiseize was pretty slick, my car was 100% quiet with no significant NVH. The car just feels slightly "crisper". Definitely recommend this for all E36 owners. I think EVERYONE that did the RTAB had at least one bushing torn.

Rob, mucho thx for the drinks and grub. Eric, thanks for having it at your house and letting me use your bathroom! See you guys at the next event.

It was great to meet everyone.

Hopefully, Erik's wife's patience and Rob's ability to supply pizza will continue for the next one:D:D

Thanks guys!!!

A BIG Thanks to everyone who showed up yesterday!

We had a great turn-out and met a lot of awesome people. Everyone was great in helping out and being patient with us as we tried to get everything done.

Stay tuned for the next event coming soon!

Here are a few samples of the fun we had. I'll have the web page up in a day or two.

I had a great time guys. Erik, Kit, and the rest of the M.U.S.T. team were very knowledgeble about our cars. Everything was top notch! You guys really know what you are doing. It was great to see everyone's cars. I have some pics too, so I'll post them as soon a sI get them resized. Umnitza Matt was a big help as well. We all got to go on a drive sonn! Bimmerfest down south? How about a caravan?

Here are some pics from the fest. Notice the pic of the RTAB. It is recommended that everyone get this repaced. If not, it can have some expensive consequences.

Here's Erik, Many thanks for letting us do this at his home.

Kit did use that sawzall pretty fast. The speed of the last RTAB install was amazing. If I ever race professionally (yeah right), I want these guysas my pit crew.

[kitwetzler]

heh heh. I cut off a chunk of my shoe! I think the sawzall is a badass tool, but that sure scared me.

And man! I *LOVE* bitch clips. They're my favorite.

Thanks for coming guys, we all had a good time and have gotten RTABs down to a science.

[Chongus]

Hey Kit! i did not know that your a Korean! I'm Korean as well. Do you speak any? Anyways, keep in touch bro and thanks for helping me out with my car. i love how it shifts! Now, I have to setup my demon eyes on my headlights because it's all messed up. Umnitza Matt is going to hook me up w/ gen V ballasts. I'd like to hook up with you guys again so keep me posted.

Chongus, your pictures make those E36's look like 7-series :)

[macg0d]

Thanks again to Eric, Rob, Kit, Jim and the rest of the crew. Man, you guys really know your stuff! Plus, it was funny hearing all of the swear words coming from Barry's car. That's one mean Tourette's syndrome M3!

Cheers to the entire crew!

[Chongus]
