Sounds like fun. Hope you can grab some goodies. Details of the fallen ZHP ?

Edit : found it. Looks like she has BMW all weather mats. If no one else is interested, pls grab the rear mats for me.

Speaking of RTABs, I may be redoing mine soon. The squeaky poly stuff is driving me nuts. OEM + limiters is the way to go.

For tomorrow, I may actually arrive a little earlier. Maybe 2-2:30pm and stand next to the ZHP so that nobody gets any funny ideas about taking our parts.

Poly really is a bad choice for that socket as it's not a single axis rotation. It needs to twist to function correctly so the only actual options are oe rubber or spherical ball joint.

I ran ball joints for a bit and my god the rear end felt amazing but I didn't like the loud crashing on leading edges. I have oe rubber + limiters now but want to try the ball joints again soon.

Thanks for inviting me out to the junk yard party today with you guys. I really enjoyed browsing the lot of raped and destroyed BMWs, meeting the guys and putting some faces behind the postings. We should get together more often.

Brandon wants to try that German restaurant I keep pestering him about and unfortunately it's closed on Sundays. Very un-German of them but in any case, how does Saturday the 5th sound?

5th looks good for now - there is an autocross in Asheville that day that I wouldn't mind doing too.

What German restaurant are y'all on? Waldhorn?

Yeah Waldhorn. Asheville seems kind of far just for Autocross. Is there something special about that one? A couple of my buddies and I have been planning a Tail trip for what seems like an eternity now. I've really just been waiting to at least get the suspension in, although I've become more paranoid about my RACP in recent months. Judging by my last two visits I tend to push just a little too much sometimes, not sure how much longer my mounts will tolerate that...

2 things:

- I'm jealous of how close y'all are to each other
- I'm jealous of how (relatively) close y'all are to Tail of the Dragon

that will be all.

Waldhorn has a killer Sunday brunch, but I don't know what their Covid situation is. I just like any excuse to go to Asheville and it's only about 2 hours from me. We'll text and figure something out.

Two other positives for NC:

- We get like two days of snow a year and it's more economical for the state to just close for the day instead of keeping an entire fleet of plows on hand so we sometimes get snow days even as adults. It's wonderful.

- We have an excellent privatized healthcare system that will let you die in the street to protect their profits. It's our patriotic duty.

As someone going into medicine...I got some real bones to pick with the U.S. healthcare system.

Hello Queen City mafia!

Since the end of November 2021, this group became bigger by two zhp.
Yes, I am officially a part since lease for apartment was signed on.
Unfortunately, due to the move, I had to sell many of the tools. However, I am planning to get my own place in NC, where some car wrenching can take place.

Please welcome two cars:
1. 2005 fully swapped zhp touring.
2. 2005 factory zhp sedan.
Cars still have incorrect license plates, but that will be changed January-February of 2022.

Both pictures were taking during the move.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...92572f06c8.jpg https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...4d37683d59.jpg

Make sure to hit up @704sw in Greensboro as well. He LOVES it when you show up in his driveway unannounced and stalk him through his windows.

I'm over in Raleigh but I often visit people who live close to Greensboro. Maybe we can get a mini NC meet going one of these days or even do a group Blue Ridge drive.

I am official Queen City member starting February 9th. Moving to a single license plate state made me appreciate clean front bumper view even more.
There is one tine downside: my touring lost ZHP330 plate.
@ZHPizza, I didn't change my style and did some shady things at night on the common parking area. I think you know what I am talking about-:) https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...d43c3e344b.jpg https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...43e1e59e52.jpg https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...f6379a0058.jpg https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...d71ab19494.jpg

I mean as long you aren't out of town on the 26th next month that shouldn't really affect anything.
