Re: Thank you, Ralph
Always an absolute pleasure to deal with, Ralph made my day today with a surprise inclusion of the window winders for the tool kit along with the fuel sender I needed. It was a day of much frustration that ended with one of the acts of kindness that puts everything in a much brighter frame - the so...

Re: 1984 633CSi Rises again!
I've been trying to find those rain gutter fastener caps for a while, thanks for the part number and sharing. Awesome progress! Yasin Yasin, I got them from Pelican parts. They were $3.71 each. Rain guard screw caps.png Also, my old muffler was trashed. I grabbed and it kind of tore it apart by han...

Numerous Fixes - Door trim, struts, caps, lights
Well I had a collection of parts that I've built up over the months and it was time to put them on since I had some good weather over the weekend. As usual, there were some wins and some not so good things. Here's a summary. I started with the replacement of my passenger door trim top piece. Mine wa...

Exhaust Fix and Muffler Replacement
After a few weeks, I have finally completed the repair of my exhaust and also replaced my trashed OEM muffler. It took two visits to an exhaust shop to get it almost 100% right. Here's the story in pics. The shop had to drop my old exhaust to evaluate whether or not it was fixable. Here's the old sy...

Exhaust work - Ralph to the rescue, again.
So after lots of poking around, I am going to an exhaust shop to see if it's possible to replace the kinked section of my down pipe that is causing my entire system to shift forward about 1 1/4" inches. The pipe is in a pretty accessible area and the pipe bend doesn't look too complex. Downpipe...

Re: 1984 633CSi Rises again!
Glad you like yours! Sadly, I reached out to Ireland Engineering and they tell me that their exhaust doesn't fit a 633csi.86_6series wrote: ↑Fri Feb 16, 2024 11:25 am Song,

Re: 1984 633CSi Rises again!
I replaced my rear exhaust with a used aftermarket one from Elias Gergey. It was rusty inside but the pipes and shell were intact and the resulting sound not much different. Since NY has no emission check on cars over 25, I eliminated the cat. This interior of the cat had come apart and was rattlin...

Re: 1984 633CSi Rises again!
Sounds like an alignment along with new front tires. It never ends...... Well I got a set of General GMax tires. I learned that they are owned by Continental, so it’s still kind of German! The new tires performed great in the crazy California atmospheric river event. I also noticed a change in the ...

Re: Rocinante Redux
…I suspect the longer range of travel on the master cylinder during bleeding probably took the pistons to parts of the MC that have not been traversed in a long time (at least not in the 25 years I have owned her!),and scraped a seal. So I am pretty certian this is an internal MC leak. Fortunately ...

Re: 1979 635CSi Euro
One day I may attack my Dashboard. I've got a few cracks and found that Sugru will fill the cracks and look "OK" for a few years, then they re-appear. I was wondering where you got that leather cover? I hadn't looked for those and didn't realize they existed. Are the matching covers availa...

Brake Master Cylinder and Brake Bomb
This Saturday I replaced the master cylinder and the brake bomb. I seems both of these items decided to go out at once. The master cylinder was causing the brake light to periodically flash on my dash. Pumping my pedal didn't make the ATF fluid rise on the reservoir and also my sudden braking respon...

Hi Song When you get a chance can you take a picture of one of your upper thrust arm bushings with the load on the suspension possibly, maybe with the car on ramps. I have changed all my arms with oem ones but have an issue with the upper thrust bushes being compressed by the retaining bolt when th...

BobV, that sounds like a good idea! So where are you located? I'll private message you with my address. I'm in the Santa Cruz, CA area. As long as the shipping isn't ridiculous, I'd be up for this.

Re: 1984 633CSi Rises again!
Song, try FCP Euro for a replacement brake bomb, they claim to warranty every part for a lifetime :-k Well, I decided just to change everything. I ordered a new brake bomb and a master cylinder from FCPEuro. As you mentioned, they have the lifetime warranty, so I shouldn't ever have to get these ag...

Rear Differential Mount Change
I've been getting some vibration and sometimes a clunk when I accelerate from a stop. I suspect the driveshaft u-joints, but talking to a driveshaft specialist, they said I should try the differential mount. OK, that seems like a pretty easy job, so I thought I'd give it a try. Besides, it's got rub...

Brake Bomb Failed Again?
Over the past few months, my brake warning light in my dash flickers on and off. Checking my system, I noticed that the ATF accumulator was "low". I pumped the brakes with the car off and the ATF fluid level is not rising at all. This seems like a classic brake bomb failure. The thing that...
