I like Powerslide
Powerslide Magazine, a Swiss auto enthusiast periodical, published one of the first articles reviewing the Alpina modified 1600-2 back in their issue for November 1966. The article details some of the engine, suspension and interior modifications made by Bovensiepen to the newly introduced and already commercially successful new model, the BMW 16oo. The photo that Powerslide published of the test car’s interior shows two aftermarket solutions employed by Alpina to emphasiz
Has anyone fitted a Southern Rods Aircon system?
Hi I am trying to research which aircon system is best in terms of size and performance to fit in place of the normal heater box in my square tail light 2002. The engine is an M10 with a 2.3 M3 stroker crank and 3 pulley crank pulley. I will possibly get a Sanden 508 compressor in Australia, and one of the US after market compressor brackets (expensive!) I will also probably get the condenser, hoses etc in Australia as well. What I will need from the US is the Evaporator unit to

Control Arm Bushing Installation
I came cross this thread (originally was posted by @jerry in Dec. 2006) while was planning to rehab control arm bushings in my car. I read folks talk about replacing entire control arm because is difficult to press new bushings in. So I decided to give it a try on only one arm and see what happens. Well, it worked and procedure is SPOT-ON. Thanks to Author (Jerry). Following is the link to original post. The procedure is also copy and pasted here just in case the link not working properly or is

Latest From The Hack Mechanic
Freeing Stuck Rear Brake Adjusters
One of my least favorite jobs on a 2002 is adjusting the rear brake shoes in order to lessen the brake pedal travel. In principle, it's easy—you just pull off the rear wheels, take a 17mm open-end wrench, put it on each of the two adjusting nuts on the backing plate behind each brake drum, rotate the drum, turn the adjuster until you can hear and feel the shoe rubbing against the drum, back the adjuster off a tiny bit, do the other adjuster, then move to the other side and do the same on the oth
Front Strut Replacement The Hack Mechanic Way
Front Strut Replacement Overview Okay. It's time to replace your front struts. Maybe you're doing it as part of a shocks-and-struts job. Maybe you're updating the entire suspension—shocks and struts, springs, and sway bars. Maybe you're doing a full front end refresh including ball joints, tie rods, center track link, and idler bushings. Maybe you're doing an undercarriage refresh and are sandblasting and repainting the subframe and strut housings at the same time. W

Okay, with the compressor and bracket, condenser and fan, evaporator assembly, receiver-drier, hoses, and wiring installed, it was time to fire it up, then button it up. Similarly, with the project itself complete, it's time to button up this series of articles. As such, this is a long piece that touches on a number of topics. Leak detection There's a whole chapter in my a/c book devoted to leak detection, and specifically to the use of nitrogen or other dry inert gas to
