West Palm Beach Area Meet/Chit Chat - 561

[71sbeetle]

I'm down

Also I just sent an email to Diesel Geek, so we'll see what they say about this group buy if they go for it.

I would call them first see if they're cool with the idea. Tell them I got mine and now you all want one too

[MasterNele03]

I was thinking that, but idk I felt like emailing for some reason. Maybe it's b/c at work we rely on them as a "paper trail" so that if someone says something we can always go back and have proof. Idk it just might be my OCD.

[CaptainQualude]

Yea I know I said the same thing when it started happening on the jetta. you would think they would have advanced in some way.

My point is that they can do it, they just choose not to.

[Deceitful]

Where at? I've been itching to go to a meet for a while now, probably would also help if I showed up to the local one here too. I'll see if I can convince the wife to head out on fri so Garey isn't there alone. If not I'll just have to go at night. If anybody whose going is still there.

Can anyone recommend a place to buy a puff can of VW's BMP? I'd like to spray the gas filler door & the rear hatch spoiler so that it somewhat matches the rest of the paint.

It won't match, BMP fades with time, more so on plastic pieces than metal. Your plastic pieces will look new but the rest of the car will look more purple-ish (that's what BMP does I know from first hand experience) but if you want get it from www.paintscratch.com they have high quality paint.

Noted, maybe I'll head out as long as there a good turn out usually.


Also for those that were interested in the Diesel Geek Shifter: Long story short they are not willing to budge on price and don't wish to do a group buy. They did say that they can ship all the units in one box to save a little bit on shipping but as far as discounting the product that's a no go. So if anyone is still interested let me know and we can work on getting them ordered, if not then I'll just go ahead and place my order. Just to show the savings: If you were to order one yourself it would be $195 + 9.96 for the cheapest shipping method so a total of $204.96. If everyone that I know has confirmed they wanted one which is a total of 6 people then it would be $195 per unit (195*6=1170) + 12.96 for shipping. When divided by the 6 people it comes to $197.16. So I will let you guys decide. Now if we can get more orders then we would could get it for less as the shipping really doesn't increase by much, but it would require quite a bit to be ordered. Anyway those of who interested let me know.

I did USPS Priority Mail shipping, it was cheaper and quicker.

Well that's lame. You'll probably end up spending the money saved on gas going to pick them up from each other.

Unless you pick them up at the meet when you're there anyway, or if we do really end up doing a DG SS ID !!! (Diesel Geek Short Shifter Install Day).

[VW Acolyte]

I'll dive in. Let me know when you need the money, if you are the one placing the order.

Part number for mine would be: SS-MK5/6SIGMA5

[MasterNele03]

yea I don't mind placing the order. I'll let you know when I do I'm just waiting on other to let me know if they still wanna go through with it or not. I sent them all PM's so hopefully they get back to me.

Ok cool. I kept meaning to post up and try and get this started myself, but kept forgetting. Between work and school work, i have too much on my mind

It's cool I get busy too sometimes it's all good.

Not worried about that. It wont be as noticeable as the whitish color that's there now.

[CaptainQualude]

I went to pick up the exhaust yesterday afternoon from the Greyhound terminal in Delray. What an odd place. Drive by & you'd never know what it is. It's a rectangular building with a small frontal area. There's a roll up door & a fire door, a greyhound sign hacked up to fit between the two, & no window. The inside desk & waiting area felt like the size of a closet. There were two parking spaces for cars, & no area to park one bus. They must park in the street out front with the hazards on. It must have been a small service business at one time with storage.

[CaptainQualude]

I'm missing the sleeve with the 2 clamps on it that connects the cat to the exhaust.

Not good

[CaptainQualude]

The exhaust that's on there uses a different & incompatible clamping method.

[screwloose45]

This made me think of gxblade for some reason (no offense lol).

I love how he peels out into the wall

[CaptainQualude]

I think he sold the replacement M3. The one after the crashed white M3.

[MasterNele03]

DieselGeek UPDATE:

I would like to place the order for the short throw this week so that I can get it before I go on vacation. I just need to know who for sure wants on so far it's Cheyne and myself. I haven't heard from Warri and Qualallstar bailed. Idk if Rey (dubkultur) is still interested Garey, i don;t have his vortex s/n.

[E36_M3]

Yep. The white one was parted. Cheaping out and not buying tires is NEVER worth it. I'm happier with my E30. It feels good to not be making car payments.

One day, Ill get another E36 M3. They are such awesome cars.

W/e you know I wanna go but baby can't be in the car for that long and I won't be able to enjoy the road the way I want to. Doesn't look like I can go next year either b/c it's too close to the wedding. So I'm gonna have to go to SoWo and/or Fixx this year.

[CaptainQualude]

The exhaust clamp sleeve should be here on Thursday, along with some other miscellaneous small parts I put off ordering until I really needed something.
