[Hawaii] mini DIY
 
We had a mini MINI DIY today at my place. Looks like we took care of cwlouis' (Louis L.) dreaded loose nutz problem.......finally! :lol: :wink: Also got to clear his CEL and found out his spark plugs were due for a change - we changed his plugs and installed a new set of pretty red plug wires.

Good 'ole erik808 (Erik T.) came by for an oil change for his Subie too.

Had fun! :nod: Folks, I think we are due for an HMMC DIY session. Who's up for one? Let's see a show of hands.http://www.livinthegoodlife.info/for...miles/wave.gif

thanks dirk for your help knowledge as always (that's se fu dirk) and eric for riding with me while we opened my MCS to check dirk's "perfect" bolt assemblage as well as trying to figure out my boost issue (not picking up on my gauge).

as for a next DIY, i'm there~!

OK, question.......what the heck is "se fu"? :confused: When I first read it I was thinking, is Louis saying f.u. to me? :lol:

Looks like no interest so it may be only you and I again. No prob - I have a great DIY for us (I'll PM you).

I think I saw your son driving around with just the rear Orciari a couple of days ago. I saw your post on Hawaii Talks - I guess you are having problems getting it painted huh?

Sounds good. So how's the Quaiffe? :grin: You know I hate you now right? :wink: Oh, and Terry N. sent his SC E36 M3 to Cali but picked up an E46 M3 in place of it. Your both punks! :lol: I hope the track never opens up and you guys are stuck with big bills. :lol:

DIYs, DIYs w/get togethers, or just get togethers......anything is fine with me. Let's just do some HMMC stuff! :nod: We're coming up with things to do in the coming weeks/months but we welcome ideas all the time. :thumbsup:

I can just see it now.....number one topic when roehrigs01 shows up for the get together....."so how's your toe?"......."can I see it?"......."ohhhh, ahhhh". :lol:

Happy to hear that man!

Yeah, I guess I had no luck when it comes to painting, Central body giving me a hard time. So I decided to go to ILLUSIONS PAINTING located just behind Corvette body shop at Queen St I posted my FAQ to the other website but it seems no one use them other than moHI (Mike's recommended).

--I'd be interested in brake fluid and oil change. Never got to change them after the last superlap. Still thinking about the MTH tuner file...
