ZHPMafia Family Reunion 2013 - Williamsburg, VA - Maintenance Thread

[static667]

Drive over to Bruce's European Auto Shop (Pretty low key operation, but they know their shit). They can do it. Located in Fairfax. I think they must be referring to your Front Control Arm Bushings (FCAB's).

Bruce's can knock this out in about 3 hours.

Pay: 3 cases of beer, and good company. You bring your own parts of course.

Its going to take longer than 3 hours, Dane. Remember that Bruce will invite him for dinner, dessert, then the beers will be flowing and conversation rolling...next thing you know, the sun is rising...

Already told Adolfo via PM my best FCABs time is 1.25 hrs, we can beat that. The rear diff bushings, I've never replaced, game to do it, suspect would have to drop the driveshaft to get necessary movement for the diff, then shouldn't be hard.

DW - shop name change, Sellers Bavarian Speedsport, not fancying other Euro brands right now. Cut my teeth on French cars, Renault & Peugeot, maintenance pigs that make our cars look mild, saw an A110 (Renault) pic by JP the other day. (Google A110 + Kenneth Sellers + Sebring, that #69 car was the dreams of my teen years, my uncle promised it to me when I wanted to go race. Unfortunately he sold it about 10-15 years ago, it was stored in FLA and thought I'd inherit it someday, he said he thought I'd never have time for it with kids, piss poor communication between us, it ran a couple of 12 hour Sebrings and some test times at other tracks, had less than 5K miles, what a time capsule.)

Nice. He could also swing it by HardWerkTuning down here in Williamsburg, but you're closer.

Heard that HardWerkTunning was booked for some weekend in mid-May, supposedly a bunch of non-special Bimmerheads coming in town.

And check your PM.

I replied to your PM, and HWT never turns business away.
