Finally made it in! PNW ZHP Coupe

[gregolas]

Hello all!

Been a long time BMW owner and lurker on this site, and finally took the time to get an account sorted out.

Current ride is an 05 330ci ZHP in Imola over black leather. This is my second ZHP coupe with a dearly missed E30 318is in between.

The car has the following mods:

UUC Flywheel with M5 organic clutch
UUC SS Clutch line
CDV delete
G.A.S. DISA kit
Dinan High Flow Intake
Dinan Software
E90 compass homelink mirror retro
Poly pedal & shifter carrier bushings

Future mods are an H&R Cup Kit along with all the fun suspension refresh stuff (Z4M FCABs, M RTABs, AKG RTAB limiters, etc).

I do all the work myself and have utilized ZHP Mafia for most research, as it has been a great resource for me. Excited to contribute and learn, and if you are in the Seattle area hope to meet some of you soon!

Edit for pics!

My first ZHP, and ironically I found her at the Maryhill Loops with the guy who bought it from me! Still in good hands...

Great pictures! I haven't been to the Maryhill Loops for a couple years, but stunning views as far as I can remember.

You as well!


+1. Great looking E30.

Thank you. Miss her everyday...it was a clean title, numbers matching car that had been completely rebuilt by myself. More sweat equity and love than I would care to admit went into it


Great pictures! I haven't been to the Maryhill Loops for a couple years, but stunning views as far as I can remember.

I have been going the last 2 of three years after discovering the Oregon CCA event. I plan on going again this year. Excellent views!

Ahh the loops... I was there last summer as well, although not for the CCA drive unfortunately. Here's a pic from right up the road, shortly after I got my 330i

I love mini Stonehenge, the view and pictures there are fantastic. Quite the trek from the Seattle area to get there. This summer I want to hit the breweries out near the Dalles.

If you time it right (late July) you can hit the Oregon Brewer's Festival in Portland on your way back to Seattle. It's a fantastic time, and really not expensive ($20-30ish bucks depending on how much you want to drink/eat). More info: http://www.oregonbrewfest.com/index2.php?p=fact

[RITmusic2k]

Holy crap, if and when you guys head back that way, let me know! That looks like a fantastic place to drive and, you know... henge about.

It's an awesome place to visit in the summer, and only about 1.5 hours from Portland, beautiful drive. Maryhill Winery is HUUUUGE and pretty cool, bunch of vineyards & breweries in the Hood River/Dalles area. My girl and I did a weekend trip last summer, it was pretty much a booze cruise haha!

Good call, but man the waterfront is packed for that!

A group trip would definitely be solid... The girl and I have talked about going back again this summer, I will put the word out if we do

Here's a pic of me...straight Hinging
