Well mike pm to let me know that he was going to be in my home town and wanted to check out the turbo set up. So we met up and wow real clean Maxima he has. I took him for a ride in the turbo max too. He gave me a ride in the Ve auto. Well it was nice. Im surprized that the ve auto smokes them down in 1st...........nice. Well its always good to meet other org members. Hopefuly he move to charlotte only like 2 hours from me. That way we may can hang out sometime. Im in south carolina where i dont think their is no one from the 3rd gen comm here. Only a couple of 4th gen people have I met so far. Well it was nice to me you mike and nice looking 3rd gen

 

Charlotte, NC right? There is a good ammount of members there. The Raliegh crew used to be big aswell but they've all moved on to 3 series, ///3's and Mustangs lol.

Someday I might be able to join the NC crew

 

I met Mike as well when I went to pick up my 92 and do the engine work on it. He stuck around a helped on the VTC rebuild and other stuff.

He is a great guy and knows his stuff and I am glad I got to meet him.

 

Your not the only member from SC, I'm in Sumter and come to Orangeburg alot due to my kids, maybe we can get together as Im working on a turbo setup myself! Heres my home #(803)494-5781 or work Jones Chevrolet Service Dept...(803)469-2515 (Ron Holston).

 

I met Jeff92se once. He said if I ever talked to him again he would ban me

 

Man I need to move back home... So far there's only one other guy in this forum that lives where I do... Even though there's 8 other 3rd gens in town. And the next closest member is in Souix Falls.

There's no support network out here

 

hey sounds cool glad to know someone else is out their.

Yeah mike seems to know a good bit about the 3rd gens

 

For real, it was cool meeting you also. Even with a dying clutch and a lot of tire slipage that turbo VG was still pulling strong. As you know I was looking forward to see your wall to wall audio set-up, but it wasn't there.

See you around
MIKE

 

well you are in South Dakota for gods sake!!! what do you expect

 

Not by my choice I can tell you that. The things I do for my job. I used to live in Paris TN. I can say though, due to the lack of people wanting to beef up a 3rd Gen, I've smoked all of them in town... along with all the high school wanna be's with their slow honda's, cavaliers, neons, and other junkers.

Now I'm looking to see how I do against a SRT-4. Luckily, I found a guy who's willing to go down to the track with me.

 

Dude not unless you are turboed or got a lot of nitrious. you are going to be smoked by the srt-4. Hell I want even run a Srt-4 yet. Maybe I would if he was stock and from a roll.

 

Well we won't know till I try it. Besides, I'll point out one thing....

Dodge had to put on a turbo just to beat the Maxima.... A sign they're trying to catch up. They're nice don't get me wrong, and fast. But I still rather pay insurance on my V6 Maxima, than on a SRT-4.

Besides, the Maxima looks better.

Also, I knew I know I'm going to lose, but it gives me something to strive for. Of course, I'm not looking to get it that fast. I'm going to stop the major engine mods once I put on the Hood scoop.

 

I need to move back to Myrtle Beach. The winter up here kills the modding spirit.

 

i think it kills all spirit. We are supposed to get like 8 inches of snow tonight. i cant take this anymore!!!

 

Something tells me Dodge wasn't thinking about beating your third gen when they decided to turbo a neon I don't get it, you want to race it so you have something to strive for but you are going to quit modding your engine after a hood scoop

 

Speed is only so much fun after a little while. I know there's a couple of other things I could do to the engine... but not much else. Besides the wife is getting pissed off at some of the stuff I've done so far. So I think it's about time to work on cosmetics for now.

And dodge had quite a few cars in mind when they designed the SRT 4. I'm just a pure 3rd gen kind of guy...LOL.

 

But look on the bright side: You can go to the BMW plant whenever you want and drool over those cars.

I was at Wake Forest University, but never got a chance to visit Spartanburg

 

well Not realy They dont make the cars here just parts like axels and bearing. But I heard they have some test cars here at the plant

 

Ahem...Spartanburg is the only BMW plant in the US, and one of precious few outside of Germany. My Wake Forest U class (grad business students) went there to see their assembly line after reading a Harvard case study on its efficiency. The entire X5 and X3 demand for US, Canada, and parts of Europe is supplied from there. It used to build the Z3 when it first opened. It is a HUGE facility, man! I would go check it out if I were you!

I found an official link: http://www.bmwworld.com/bmw/plants.htm You will look towards the bottom of the page.

 

Ohhh Ok I see. I thought you were talking about the plant here In my home town(orangeburg) Dania is the plant they make nothing but bmw axels here.
