I got word there was a scrap yard that specialized in picking up BMWs, Audis, etc. in the Buffalo region, possibly out in Akron (OK, not exactly pinpoint location...). Anyone know which salvage yard this would be,? Scouting these things is usually fun.
Also, I'm in for meet and drive or eat or something if you guys are gonna do it. I know Duff's does a Monday night Car night in Williamsville, I assume the OP one does it too?
Yeah I know the place. It's called Vince's Auto Wrecking. 8440 Akron Rd in Lockport. Phone#691-3811.
They have many BMW's for parts. I've used them once. Just be sure to price your parts first before you go there. They try to rip you off if you don't know your sh!t.
It's actually a great drive out there as the roads are winding and smooth. Just take Route 5 east to Akron, NY. Then turn left onto route 93N. Cruise at whatever speed you like from there for several miles until you get to the scrap yard. Fun drive imo.

Hey Djarum, I could use your assistance on the CDV delete mod. I just recently had my clutch slave cyl replaced along with the ltw flywheel and clutch as well. My mechanic could not understand or find the actual valve. I've seen the pictures indicating where it is but could possibly use a hand (read: pay for your services) getting this done. Perhaps several of us could even meet and do this all at once? I've got tools but no lifts.
Sorry for the thread hijack........carry on.
I head out to Buffalo once a month for a business meeting, and have been looking for a source of 635 parts. Do they allow you to go through the cars yourself?

Scott, yes, they will actually take you in the yard and help you pull parts from a junker. I managed to find a "pigtail" connector for the coolant temp sensor from a demo'd 3 series. It's kind of creepy back there, but you might be pleased with how many cars they have to choose from. Just call them first. Good luck!
Thanks for the info on the scrapyard, I may hit them up. I'll post my findings should I go.
...and maybe I'll try for Duff's monday (6/2/08). It's supposed to be sunny and 75, great for a day of detailing.
I'm going to try under the hood a bit more. I may paint me some calipers, too.

Ummm.... http://willz.us/
Haha I found out about this place a while ago, right in the city
Anyone up for a meet & salvage trip? I'd like to see the scrap yard with a few of you guys.
Also, count me in for the CDV delete group
Man why is it that every Cosmos M3 has to HIT something.... I really want front end parts... Too bad about the lightweight rims on the convertible...
But yeah I feel the need to go junkyard shopping... Not sure what I need. But I feel like I could find something. Maybe a power steering pump.
Actually what I need right now are some damned Tires.... car is off the road till I find some.
Hey guys I'm planning on stopping by Duffs later tonight, so if you see my Black CTT def say Hi
Which Duff's, strut?
Orchard Park
hmm, ur talking a $20 round trip for me. Eh, it's only money, maybe I'll venture out. I'd really like to get out to Metzger's Pub to see my friend play... Rock Bottom is his band. I heard they play there on monday nights.
Hey,
Just taking the free pops where I can get them, but anyone here know anyone interested in buying a New Edge Mustang with less than 19K miles on it?
Figured it can't hurt to ask. Thanks.
PS- We should get a group together to get to that junkyard.
Lancaster was fun. I saw four M3's '95 hellrot(auto) '95 cosmo, '95 Avus & a '96 Alpine. Mine was at home. :t-down:

The past few days I've seen two really amazing cars, esp. for Buffalo.
On Elmwood at about 12 at night I was in Jim's and a Yellow Lamborghini Murcielago drove by.
Then I was out at the Porsche Dealer on Main near Transit and a Silver w/ Tan Salleen S7 drove by, looked ridiculous.
Anyways I thought I would say something, didn't know if any of you had seen the same ?
Best.

My daughter was at lancaster last night. She won the bass race 129 decibel class event a couple weeks back when it was still in NF. She's in it for the summer, there's a big grand prize at the end of the contest. I don't think she entered last night, her friend was using her new sub setup in his car.
A friend of mine owns that exact same Ferrari but with black interior. He just got it a few weeks ago. I have yet to get a ride in it however.
local place for spacers??
i need some 5mm ones up front (new wheels are rubbing slightly) i ordered rear spacers that i needed and they come in on monday, but i'd rather not destroy my front tires until it takes for shipping of another order.
oh and no crappy generics, i would like hubcentric correct bolt pattern ones if possible
