    I've done most of my own work so far. Mine is about to go out and get 30k service and header/exhaust installation. Plus I have to have the finicky top fixed.

    I love driving my car. After all, that's what it's for! I bought it in 2011 and have put 20,000 miles on it.

    That sounds great.. You though about doing the belts yourself?? My car needs them.. I'm 50/50 on doing it myself.. I have a lift and all the tools..

    Yes and yes. I have an 87 328 and need to drive it more. I do many of the services myself.

    We should meet up.. Just installed on my 348 a Nouvalari exhaust, test pipes, O2 sensors and new head unit with speakers today. It went very smooth and everything seems to be very easy to get to as opposed to my vette or Porsche. I'm am taking it to Bar tuning to have it looked over but think i may just tackle to service myself.

    She's apart for an alternator rebuild right now but should be up again within the week.

    I'm in Cypress off the 290.

    Would LOVE to see a 512 up close!

    Alternator is back in and she passed her first inspection (generating 14.4v across the battery terminals at 1000 RPM). I still need to burp the cooling system and test on the road.

    Maybe we can do Sat or Sun?

    What part of town are you in?

    Anyone else want to do a coffee dash this weekend?

    Mark5scuba, that is cool but CarbBoxer wants to do Sunday. Is that any better for you? Either is good for me.
