The Austin F8X Rollcall

confusion · 05-20-2016, 10:45 AM

Hey, do any of you guys have a recommended perf shop in town? I have some HREs on order and am trying to figure out a place to get them properly installed. Please shoot me a PM. TIA

Anyone got their crank hub done in town?

No, mine isn't busted, but if that billet one ever checks out...

Hey, Jonathan, did that same group install your suspension? Alignment? I'm debating on doing it myself, but I'm pretty busy.

TexasSurgeon · 05-30-2016, 10:47 PM

Saw a beautiful YMB M3 going west on bee caves near Rob Roy today around 600Pm.. Looked like it had a drop on it.

I was in my wifes SUV so you prob didn't notice me...

TexasSurgeon · 05-30-2016, 10:48 PM

Also saw an Austin yellow M4 going down hamilton pool Road. Anyone on here?

They did my suspension yes. They didn't do my alignment as they didn't have their machine yet. They may have it now, I know Mario mentioned they had one on order and were waiting to move into their new bigger shop that would fit the machine.

A call to him would be worthwhile.

Thanks!

That's mine. I live off of River Hills Rd and you can usually catch me driving down Bee Cave's Rd several times a day.

Got my Mineral Grey Comp package M3 today! This car is way more special than I thought it would be, especially coming from a 1M!

Congratulations! If you're going to cars & coffee at The Oasis this Sunday, then I'll be there. I'd love to see it in person.

Rennology · 06-06-2016, 03:09 PM

Anyone planning on going to COTA on Sunday for the F1 watch party?

I believe it starts at 12pm. Much better than 7am

Congrats!! I pick up the same car at the end of July at the PCD.

Saturday morning, I saw your car listed in inventory on BMW of Austin's website so I made the drive to go see it in person since I've never seen Mineral Grey or the Comp Pkg. in real life prior to placing my order. Unfortunately, they must have had it hidden somewhere...I couldn't find it anywhere!!

I still have 7 more weeks until I go to South Carolina...so if you could post a few pics when you get a min, I'd greatly appreciate it.

Look forward to seeing the cars...congrats again on your pickup!

I picked it up at 9am last Saturday, pretty sure I left around 11ish? I may have snuck off with it!

I'll try and get some pictures tomorrow or some such before I get it xpel'd and cquartz'd.

So, there's a meet on the 18th. I wanted to post sooner, but I've been busy.

It's called Lone Star Euro Fest, and will be at COTA. BMW CCA is supposed to be there, along with vendors, etc. Registration was originally deadlined June 8th, but there are 82 tickets available and they've pushed it to the 13th. Registration is $25. It's from 10AM-3PM.

phorbes had suggested we meet up at his place, and head up 360 to 71 down to COTA.

SakhirM4 , do have any other details about this?
