Finnegan · 04-20-2012, 11:26 PM

Sounds good to me too.

jdl1pt · 04-21-2012, 02:25 AM

^ Likewise. ^

Washed and ready to roll out tomorrow. I'll bring csl headers incase anyone is interested.

Devious21 · 04-21-2012, 03:21 AM

Last call. If someone has the OEM leather windscreen I can purchase or borrow, please bring!

We're just stopping by. You know. Just the tip.

Just got back and I gotta say, what a pleasure it was to meet everyone. Beautiful cars, tasteful mods and a great group of people, what more could one ask for.

If any of you is ever going down to Santa Cruz and want to stop and relax, or just want some dinner and drinks please let me know, you're always welcome

dorifto88 · 04-21-2012, 07:38 PM

just got home myself. wowsers it was hot lol

Skelekitty · 04-21-2012, 08:29 PM

OH MY GOD THIS WAS SO MUCH FUN!! (Sorry for yelling.)

jdl1pt · 04-21-2012, 08:52 PM

EPIC about describes it!

So my camera sensor is Fing dirty...don't ask cause I'm pissed.

Here are a few pics that have been cleaned, more to come.

Finnegan · 04-21-2012, 09:17 PM

Prelim shots look good, dirty sensor or not! This was an AWESOME day! Great folks, great cars, great conversation, wall of Zs dealing with crazy Bay Area traffic...we had it all!

Working on data entry, should be done tonight (3 hour drive home, need some dinner first).

Proposed layout (columns) in Google Docs (would transfer to thread later):

Forum Member Name
Idle dB
Rev 5K dB
Heavy Acceleration dB
Light Acceleration dB
Headers (OEM or Name)
S Pipe Section 2 Cats (OEM or Name)
X-Pipe (OEM or Name)
Axle-Back (OEM or Name)

Thought I'd set up a section with our subjective observations for each setup as mild street, aggressive street, or race. This isn't hard data, but it might be useful.

Other thoughts before I pull this together?

dubsesd · 04-21-2012, 09:21 PM

Someone post some videos!

pokeybritches · 04-21-2012, 09:23 PM

I spotted an intruder! IN WHITE.

davebho · 04-21-2012, 09:26 PM

Man at the last minute I got stuck with the little ones, I almost just went out there with my kids and suv...urgh!!

Can't wait to see more pictures...glad it was a nice turnout.

runnerx · 04-21-2012, 09:27 PM

We should do a group trackday together! or some scenic drive...

Group track day idea sounds awesome!

Yeah, that's flpnout, he's ok!

None of the other E89 guys wanted to come out and play, only him, so he gets props for being a sport and hanging with us.

RobMCoupe · 04-21-2012, 10:54 PM

Had a great time today. Love seeing all the coupes together.

RADRACR · 04-21-2012, 11:15 PM

Sorry for the burnout during my run. I turn off DSC by habit and got a little carried away

The video turned out ok. I'm no James Cameron

LOTS of chit chat in the background, including calling one of our beloved Z4M's a Prius

It definitely helps having a subwoofer + speaker system hooked up to your computer to get the full range.

And without further ado, the 4MB photo: (more photos to come)

Finnegan · 04-22-2012, 12:43 AM

The photo above is great! Poster worthy even!

I wish we could find someone to help you with the editing. Even James Cameron needs a good editor! I'm sure the video is just fine--and thank you for doing all the work!

Burnout? I thought you were practicing your auto-cross launch!
