#1. FS: JTD underpanel - from Chester Wong

Date: Tue, 15 Jan 2002 09:00:39 -0800 (PST) From: Chester Wong <chester_p_wong@yahoo.com> Subject: FS: JTD underpanel With all this talk about underpanels, I've decided to sell mine. I bought it a while back in anticipation of the stock one falling off, but it hasn't so... It goes for $160 new from JTD. Mine is brand new, never mounted. Asking $130 and I'll cover shipping to the lower 48 states. Thanks, Chester ===== __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Send FREE video emails in Yahoo!

#5. Laguna Seca in May? - from Jim Files
Top
Date: Tue, 15 Jan 2002 12:26:23 -0800 From: Jim Files <jfiles@alumni.ucsd.edu> Subject: Laguna Seca in May? Hello, I am planning to make a road trip up to Monterey in May. I am contemplating tying some track time to the trip. Most interested in Laguna Seca, but anything between here (San Diego) and there (Monterey) is worth considering. Does anyone know of any track events going on up that way in May? Responses off list are welcome, and thanks for any pointers you may have, Jim 98 M3/2 -- ICQ:27292190 mailto:jfiles@alumni.ucsd.edu (slow delivery lately, urgent? -> phone)

#6. Difficulty shifting to 1st gear - from Joe Tan
Top
Date: Tue, 15 Jan 2002 13:22:28 -0800 (PST) From: Joe Tan <mailjtan@yahoo.com> Subject: Difficulty shifting to 1st gear I just had a new clutch installed on my '98 M3 by the dealer. one thing I noticed with the new clutch is that sometine I find it hard to shif into first gear. Like when I am stopped at a light and when it's time for me to go I try to shift to first and the shifter just won't go in, I have to use force to get it in first. I don't remember ever having to to that before the new clutch. Does anyone know what is causing this, and is there anything that can be adjusted to aliviate this problem? Any advise would be appreciated so that I know what to expect from the dealer, since I know they will tell me that that is normal. Thanks, Joe. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Send FREE video emails in Yahoo! Mail! http://promo.yahoo.com/videomail/

NASA is doing a ThunderHill HPDE on May 11-12th. That should be fun. Greenflag Driving Events (aka, the NorCal Shelby Club) is doing something May 24th, 25th, and 26th, but they haven't said what track yet. The CCA doesn't look like it's doing anything in May yet, and you'd probably not have a chance in hell of getting past the lottery anyway. I'm sure a bunch of us will be at both of the events above, and we'd love to have a fellow M3'er there. If neither of those look enticing, maybe we can organize a few folks to get together and do some karting. -peterg ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This message was sent using HiSpeed Technologies Webmail. http://www.hispeed.com

Actually the GGC will have a 3-day school at Laguna on May 4-6. Check the website for when sign-up info will be available: http://www.ggc-bmw-cca.org/ And good luck with the lottery! :-) Cheers, Jim Bassett 1998 M3/4 1993 325is #44 KP
