  1. just don't make them too short or you'll spill brake fluid all over the engine bay
  2. i would want to know of other cars he's worked on and if the owners are satisfied with the work. $2k is a little low. i had a bid to redo an e30 interior (sport seats) for $2600, including door panels. maybe he's hungry for work?
  3. max has the correct fuel pump listed 16121107414 $652
  4. the r3V bunch are funny as hell, plus good tech info the off topic lounge is too funny
  5. maybe we could learn from our friends NEW THREAT LEVELS The English are feeling the pinch in relation to recent terrorist threats, and have therefore raised their security level from "Miffed" to "Peeved". Soon, though, security levels may be raised yet again to "Irritated" or even "A Bit Cross". The English have not been "A Bit Cross" since the blitz in 1940, when tea supplies nearly ran out. Terrorists have been re-categorized from "Tiresome" to "A Bloody Nuisance". The last time the British issued a "Bloody Nuisance" warning level was in 1588, when threatened by the Spanish Armada. The Scots have raised their threat level from "Pissed Off" to "Let's get the Bastards". They don't have any other levels. This is the reason they have been used on the front line of the British army for the last 300 years. The French government announced yesterday that it has raised its terror alert level from "Run" to "Hide". The only two higher levels in France are "Collaborate" and "Surrender". The rise was precipitated by a recent fire that destroyed France's white flag factory, effectively paralyzing the country's military capability. Italy has increased the alert level from "Shout Loudly and Excitedly" to "Elaborate Military Posturing". Two more levels remain: "Ineffective Combat Operations" and "Change Sides". The Germans have increased their alert state from "Disdainful Arrogance" to "Dress in Uniform and Sing Marching Songs". They also have two higher levels: "Invade a Neighbor" and "Lose". Belgians, on the other hand, are all on holiday as usual; the only threat they are worried about is NATO pulling out of Brussels. The Spanish are all excited to see their new submarines ready to deploy. These beautifully designed subs have glass bottoms so the new Spanish navy can get a really good look at the old Spanish navy. Americans meanwhile, and as usual, are carrying out pre-emptive strikes on all of their allies "just in case". Canada doesn't have any alert levels. New Zealand has raised its security levels - from "baaa" to "BAAAA". Due to continuing defense cutbacks, New Zealand has only one more level of escalation, which is "I hope Australia will come and rescue us". Australia, meanwhile, has raised its security level from "No worries" to "She'll be alright, mate". Three more escalation levels remain: "Crikey!", "I think we'll need to cancel the barbie this weekend" and "The barbie is cancelled". So far no situation has ever warranted use of the final escalation level.

  8. one of the best things anyone can do to learn to appreciate what you have in life is: #1 get older and wiser #2 travel to other countries, especially 3rd world countries like (for me at least) mexico
  9. new bmw's use nitrogen i believe it doesn't change pressure as much as "air" when heated and thus doesn't give false readings to the tire pressure sensors
  10. you never mentioned you have a twin brother steve!
  11. Ahhhh JhC And too bad you're correct about him And all along I thought I was special only to find out he/she/it screws with everybody And yes hesheit is a first class dick It's up to steve and Rob as to where all this heads I was never around on roadfly so the banning idea is ok with me for dicks like JhC It's either ban the asshole or have FAQ wind up as a site to avoid
  12. Nasty down south No power, 21* wind up to 30mph It's not even winter Any more global warming and I'm gonna freeze to death
  13. looks like your car must have run hot from the lack of air getting to the radiator, plus stiffer front springs ha ha
  14. interesting, I'm also running temp sensor in the back of the head in a VDO dual unit. my temps are always just a bit over 120 F. Radiator = 3-row core similar to Curt Ingram's. Oil = 20/50 Valvoline. this is exactly what is happening to benneton's car he's wondering if the motor is running too cool, although it runs well as is
  15. 3M makes double sided foam adhesive tape specifically for auto trim i had to use it on my son's car that has alpina flares that, because of a slight misalignment in their fitting, caused an interference between the rocker trim and the front panel. the tape is basically gorilla snot applied to foam tape, super strong and tacky http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001OX78CU/ref=oss_product
  16. what temp do you see during normal driving conditions?
