Official Cincinnati/Tri-State Area Thread:

[rawaudi]

So, if anyone knows of any good garage/parking options in the inner city area, please let me know as I am starting to view some options. The thought of me not having my car ALL spring and summer just doesnt sit too well with me considering I havent seen it in a good 2 months and have stage 3 plans this summer for it. Thanks in advance gentlemen!

Haha nice parking areas around Clifton/ UC in general. See if anyone has other suggestions, but you could park it in my apartments parking lot. It is a gated apartment community right by Obrynsville. Has a key code access in and automated gate out. It is right off Madison.

@S4B5Sean, I am right by Hyde Park and don't see to many modded audis around the area. There is a scuba blue a3 running around and a B5 that has LEDs in the fog grilles. It would definitely be a nice area to meet up, although it is a short commute to C&C on saturdays.......

Thats close, maybe I'll come check it out. If only there were solo private garages that I could rent then I would have it made!

Any other ideas guys?

You're going to pay a premium for a single car garage anywhere. The best place to look though is Craigslist.

[S4B5Sean]

If anyone is intrested Ill be at cars and coffee tomorrow morning with a large group of friends and a photographer for Canibeat.com, if you come out make sure your rides are clean if you want to see it on the website. Hope to see some peoples out tomorrow.

Anyone local (Cincinnati) with an e36 M3? I need a ride/drive in one..

So I'm looking to purchase an e36 M3 sedan and test drove one yesterday and it seemed that the clutch and engine felt very slow/non responsive. My only other BMW experience is with a manual e46 325i and 2008 128i, but these cars felt completely different (infinitely better).

The car in question is a 1997 M3 sedan automatic to manual conversion. The clutch engages smoothly and the transmission shifts smoothly, but the throttle (position mainly) seems way off/slower than I expected. I am use to BMW throttle being pretty similar to Audis (I drive a 1993 and 2000 S4), which this was not.

I'm hoping someone local may be willing to let me swing by and give me a ride, and even possibly permit me to take a slow lap around the block. I'm really just seeking a baseline feel of how the e36 should drive, normal throttle position/acceleration and heft/resistance of pedal(s). The car I drove still has the automatic rear diff, so I don't know if this changes things any/much.

I understand this is an odd request (esp on an Audi forum), but please let me know if you'd be willing to help me out, or if you may know someone with an e36 that'd be willing to help..

[Myallroad]

Ill take the urs4 if you don't want. Lol

[Getoffamybacon]

Not sure if anybody here is interested but I have some B7 split 5-spoke wheels for sale in the classified section: Click Me

[kingtr]

Vulture! :)
There is a very good chance I'll be keeping it a while longer - unless all e36 M3s are really as uninspiring as the one I drove the other day, in which case I'll continue searching for another UrS4/6 or __? (5-8k)

You just missed one on ebay that was mint.

Silver 98 coupe that is in Lexington? Or more likely the Red Coupe in Oregon? Silver one looks like it could be nice without too much work (replace/fix seat). Looks like no one snagged it, may be worth trying to get ahold of him if I could get him down closer to $8 and its relatively local..

Also, have you driven one? If so, thoughts about it?

[MYDWAGON]

Check out www.autotempest.com for 20v s6.

Nothing pops up.. maybe it sold overnight?

[Myallroad]

There was a fully built urs4 on ebay for a while for like 20. Thing had like 600 to the wheels.

Ah, yeah that may be a tad bit out of my budget (sell B5 and do it..?!) Related, I recently rode in a Holset hx40 UrS4 - not ideal for a daily driver, but holy crap did that thing take off when planned (launch control). I'm thinking 2871 or 3071 would be a reasonable daily driver, yet fun.

[A4DRIVR]

The time has come to sell the A4. Some of you guys have seen the car down at Cars and Coffee a few times...

Here is the link to my build thread: BUILD THREAD

I have also placed the car in the classifieds: CLICK HERE

I'd like to find it a good home in the enthusiast community. PM me if interest, I will entertain offers and trades. My true goal is to purchase something new, possibly going back to my roots with a VW GTI, or even a Golf R if I could scrape together enough cash!

How far will you travel for one?

[kingtr]

How far will you travel for one?

Done with school in a month, then, coast to coast. I don't mind a drive to get acquainted, though I worry about not being able to check things out prior to flying wherever. Batting .500 in that regard; B5 S4 was as described, the TT had a number of issues that weren't disclosed and took time to discover.

[S4B5Sean]

I know these are far and few between to find a good one but I have a friend that is highly motivated to buy a b5 S4 that is either stg3 and properly built or wants to buy a stock one so he can build it. If anyone knows of one that is for sale let me know. He would like to buy local bc he doesnt want to travel and waste money on a plane ticket. He is dead set on it being Imola Yellow. If anyone knows of anyone that has one for sale or is concidering selling theirs let me know. He is an enthusist as well so its not going to some schmuch that doesnt know his audi business. Thanks in advance guys.

Steve, what are the specs on it?

[S4B5Sean]

$20k and it's his. ;)

Tyler, thats abit steep for an 01. Whats the breakdown on it? Also are you able to work on that price? Ill let him know though where you stand on the 20K but I cannot make any promices.

[kingtr]

Haha, yes, it is very steep! I'm not really looking to sell - but it's always for sale for the right price. :)
Quickly made up breakdown: Car + $20k in mods + California car adds 25% to the value ;)

[S4B5Sean]

Anyone down to go to Water By the Bridge in Louiville Sunday March 25th? Let me know. I have afew others that are going with me and I thought I'd extend in invitation to anyone else. For those of you that dont know about it, it is a cruise in for any german car enthusists. Ill be leaving sunday morning around 10 to make my way down there. So, roll it around and let me know who would be game.

-Sean

[Getoffamybacon]

I will most likely go to that Sean but I have no solid plans yet.

[S4B5Sean]

Sounds good Tim. I have a few M3's, MKVI's, a G35, a civic Si, and a few S2000's. Anyone else game? Lets make it bigger.

[Bdubs]

Dang...won't be able to make the trip down. Have something else scheduled already on that day.

[Myallroad]

Tyler, there was a nice s6 on autotrader for like 6500.

[MYDWAGON]

If its the red avant its garbage.Blake checked it out

[Myallroad]

Sorry, i should have specified, its a 5 cyl S6.

I was wondering why that red one was so cheap.

[kingtr]

Is it the silver one in Saline, Michigan? Steve and I were going to check it out on Thursday but I've since found another I have my eye on. Hopefully it works out, more on that in a few weeks..

[rawaudi]

I am down to go to Water by the Bridge. Went last year and had a good time. 4 of us from here cruised down with the MKV guys, there was probalby 50 cars that met up at one of the rest areas in KY. Have you checked the MKV forums? Hopefully I will have my coils on by then.

[MYDWAGON]

It's priced that way for a reason (besides the miles and auto).. I drove over and scouted it out to buy and swap a few panels with then resell, lots of marks/small damage, crack in bumper paint IIRC. Grab as a beater

Naw, I have not checked any other forums. The only one I really ever go on is here. Anyone else intrested? Tyler? I know you wanted to go on some road trips this year ;).

This is true. Fortunately/unfortunately I'm in my final 3 weeks of grad school - honestly don't have the time!

[99ebpsi24]

Is everyone ready for some crazy weather we have ahead of us?!? Dan I'm sure you're taking the allroad out in some creeks to enjoy the storm right? lol
