I used a standard type feeler gauge which was a bit difficult to maneuver due to the space constraints. Wondering if there is another type that might work better. I suspect I may have adjusted the ...

The Sonora Pass road is my all-time favorite road! It is absolutely spectacular. I've never done it in either of my 02's. First time I did it was 30 years ago in my 68 VW westfalia camper. I shoul ...

not coming on when it should or not coming on at all. Huge difference. If the fan works, but it's not coming on when it "should", then you've most likely got a problem with the thermoswitch, or you ...

It's a good sound. Assertive, but not obnoxious, and not "ricey" to quote Jeff Ireland. I'm sure there's someone in the bay area that has one that you can check out live. I wouldn't rely on a sound ...

Very cool. I'm considering doing this trip myself. I have to deliver my daughter to U of O in Eugene third week of September. What a great excuse to take a road trip in the bimmer! Just have to ta ...

Others will jump in with more details, but I believe the turbo radiator is wider. It is not a direct replacement on a tii. You'll probably have to move the fuel filter at a minimum.

I'm good!

My car has been on the road for what, 3-4 weeks now? I'm very happy with the result. Car looks great. Of course, if you look really really close and nitpick, there's minor shortcomings ...

Ash, I believe this is an S52, but I'm not 100% sure. This was done by the fabrication shop next to Ireland Engineering in Duarte, CA. I believe the name of the shop is Gromo?

It's a pretty clea ...

Nice pics Steve,

It was a really nice drive. Weather was BEAUTIFUL. Surprisingly uncrowded, except for the sloooowwwww bikers!

Thanks Jeff and John for organizing. Looking forward to the next ...

Where are we all meeting?

Thanks for the link Steve, I did not know you had to also register for the drive!

"better" can mean a lot of things. Cheaper? Easier to install and configure? Support? features? etc etc.

Megasquirt works very very well. There's several on this board that have successfully im ...

Blunt, congratulations! I know you must be so thrilled just to get the car finished, but Best of Show??? Wow, icing on the cake, that's an understatement. The car is STUNNING!!

I chose the E12 head for two reasons. First, is piston availability. I wound up using MaxSil pistons because of the outrageous cost for Mahles. I don't know of any aftermarket cast pistons for the ...

the scoop on how to deal with an insurance company from you.

Not much of a scoop here. The car was only three months back from a "restoration" (I use the term loosely). The car was so clean you c ...

Did you end up doing a carbon fiber hood? Looks like a top notch repair.

Nah, the fiber thing didn't work out. Long story, but the shop wound up repairing the original hood. It came out "almost" p ...

Four months! February 10th is when the teenage girl with the cell phone turned in front of me. All is good now. Her insurance covered the damage. About $10k.

Damn. I forgot how fun this car ...

I'm in!

I know i'll need wrenches, I meant I don't have a compressor and air gun/wrench. I don't expect it to be impossible, just wondering how doable it would be without a big shop. Essentially, I have one ...

This topic comes up frequently. Do a forum search on NADA, there's quite a bit of discussion.

This is a great board. I don't think I'd have the patience for this hobby if it wasn't for this great resource where it all comes together - advice, technical material, parts sourcing, moral support ...

I've done pretty much everything on your list, so I can confirm that this is all doable and is not difficult, and I'm not a mechanic by any stretch of the imagination. The important thing to me is to ...

Anyone have a left front early bumper bracket?

It's the last thing holding up my accident repair.

Thanks!

Hello everyone,

My '70 is ALMOST back on the road after my Feb 10 accident with the teenage cellphone user.

I just need a left front bumper bracket (early style). Does anyone have one they're w ...

My condolences Mars. Hang in there!

Jeff, both drives are good, each has its positives. I'm just a bit partial to the Angeles Crest drive. I'm thinking there would be less traffic, and I really like the San Gabriel mountains, but of c ...

Why a 318i system??? It isn't configured correctly for the 2L engine. If you're going to convert, I suggest you consider using a Megasquirt. That way you can dial it in for optimal performance and ...

It's a parts car. It's already bid up higher than what I'd pay.

This is a good topic. It comes up frequently. I've done a lot of reading, and I'm convinced that the lower levels or lack of ZDDP is a problem. Of course, the negative impact may not be apparent for ...
