I'm looking for a place to park an open car trailer a bit closer to home, which is around 124th and National in New Berlin, WI. Trailer is an 18 foot car hauler, 21' tip to tail. Currently have it at a friend's place west of Okonomowoc which is a 40 minute one-way drive. It would great if I could cut this in half or more. Anyone have a reasonably priced storage place/option they use or know of, ideally located between Waukesha and Milwaukee and south of I94 and north of I43? Let me know.

CL Ad was posted 22 days ago. When were the wheels stolen?

They would also have DE sessions, with beginner to more advanced run groups. Busy weekends Compared to say the Badger Bimmer events NASA's DE program is more geared to eventually getting you on the track in time trials or club racing. We should have a good sized Spec e30 field for that event since it is a Midwest and Great Lakes region crossover.

Thanks. Thought I might have to get some exhaust welding done so I decided to head to my local Wisconsin Muffler this morning. Sitting here now. PO did cut the flanges off the cat and the catback leaving more than an inch gap and used the clamp and sleeve to try to hold it all together. Solution will be custom cut a connector pipe and clamp or if that doesn't work weld.
Parts, wow I figured that this was still on the back burner. I'm meeting crowntheking this afternoon for a red door and fender if his part out goes through.

I think the old part was a solid piece. I checked a few suppliers and all that is available now us the two piece version.
I'll give the sealant a try. I think
I have a tube of permatex muffler / tailpipe sealer somewhere.
-
Yes #15. Thanks for posting the diagram. I've looked at that a lot and never realized until now that my car is different. I have a solid pipe from the resonater to the muffler. The #15 clamp and sleeve is between the cat and the resonator. It looks like the PO cut the flange off the cat and off the newer cat back and used the #15 clamp to hold the pipes together??

Posted this on R3V but figured try here as well.
The car has what looks like the original cat and a newish oem catback and the oem connector 2-3" clamp and sleeve. PO installed it four years ago but only put 500-1000 miles on it so the car sat for a while.
I can see exhaust leaking from both ends of the clamp/sleeve. Tightened it down but still leaks. Any suggestions? Car is far from pristine so effective matters more than pretty.

Same site I used. Read it and you start worrying about profile gaskets and bolts sucked into and damaging the oil pickup.
When I opened mine to replace the cracked lower pan after buying the car I found two upper pan bolts were missing...and not loose in the bottom of the lower pan. Just gone. Still can't figure that one out. Did some PO/tech working on the car think they were extras???

M44 tensioner it is. Thanks.
New m44 tensioner installed. Should have done a comparison picture. Decompressed it was about 1/4" longer than the old one. Model differences aside it makes me wonder how old the one I took out was.

How's their BMW / foreign selection?

E30 maintenance and other parts if I'm buying new: Guten Parts, Pelican, BluntTech, Bimmerworld, and in the past from Turner Motorsports, Bimmerzone, Mueller Motorwerks, Autohaus az, Bavarian Autosport
Specialty parts/fluids: Pegasus Racing, AKG Motorsport, RaceSkids, Red46, VAC Motorsports, Apex Performance

Hate surprises especially ugly ones.
Reason I asked is my 1991is has been quiet and running fine but I also have no sense of when things were changed last. 235k on the odometer when I bought it last fall and I've tracked down four prior owners going back 8 years to 160k none of which had touched the tensioner, chain, etc. Lower oil pan was clean with no metal or other bits when I replaced it.
-
Ouch, sorry about the carnage!
Any sense of when the tensioner and chain were last changed or warning/symptoms chain rattle etc before it went?

So Zach we have to find this out through CL?

We had at least 50 cars plus two trucks doing tow duty on the ice yesterday, running exercises and the full course from close to shore to well
Into the middle of the lake. Three hours in the morning and three in the afternoon. No issues at all.
Make it if you can guys, it is a blast!Kick the rear end out and throttle steer like crazy. Wish I didn't have a work conflict so I could join everyone.
-
If you guys are on your own make sure you have someone there with a 4wd pickup and tow straps. Folks will rage drift off course into the snow banks and beyond. Most of the time you can get together and push them out but some times you need the truck.

Did the Audi Club ice school up at Hutisford yesterday. You'll have a great time. The course has many drifting opportunities. Snow tires will be a big help. Mostly awd and fwd folks yesterday and only a few rwd.
-
You're still good. When co-founders Wayne Dempsey or Tom Gould calls you personally to thank you then start to get worried.

Not the same opportunity for ice cone dodging but turns out that the WI Audi Club is running ice driving schools with the WAG folks same location on Feb 1 and Feb 15. At least it's a chance to get out on the ice.

Aside from whether you enjoy the
noise, the merits of running to redline depend on your torque curve/peak. The sweet spot on my unchipped m20 drops off before redline. No reason for me to hit redline on purpose.

Got some more detail:
Thanks for contacting Road America. Tentatively the course will be set up in the main paddock area(same as last year).
The number of runs will be determined by the overall participant count. Last year we had 50 cars and split into 3 groups rotating each group through 3 different activity locations(Timed Autocross, Practice Autocross and Speed Stop Challenge). This was an easy way for us to limit the amount of people at any one area and effectively use our time and space to make sure everyone got plenty of driving time. At the end we'll likely have extra time and we can open the timed autocross to anyone who wishes to run more.

Looks like they use the upper paddock
Trailer storage wanted

Thanks for the suggestion. Still holding out for something closer, though you're right that rates ramp up the closer one gets to Milwaukee. $60 month seems to be common.
