Plus 3 on that, I was wondering the same thing

IIRC, the only chassis that has a different bore is the E39 at 74.1 mm

Pus there's hubcentric rings available to address that potential issue

Please 'splain, Lucy

I don't have any advice regarding a T'stat/performance chip combo, but I do have some thoughts about using a T'stat with a lower opening temperature than stock :-k 80 degrees C was stock in mine (MY80) but I went to a 75 degree until some years ago, the last time I performed coolant service :-" And ...

Tommy, aren't those one-piece wheels :-k I don't think widening them is possible, unlike 2 or 3-piece wheels :-({|= My experience with repairing curb rashed wheels is only at Wheel Techniques in Santa Clara. The last time I talked to them about refinishing wheels, it was $190 each, no matter when yo...

Leonard, thanks for sharing more photos, and great story about your drive home =D> Think we took 25 all the way to Paso one year for PSF, and I too recall that it was a blast :lol: Daniel and Luke got some great pix :shock: Now who's green car is that :roll: Paul, thanks for noting that the royal bl...

Paul, on the underside of my Momo shift knob is a threaded collar. Not sure if yours has this, but if yes, try and unthread it, which would reveal the set screws that secure it in place on the shifter

Maybe post a photo

I can do the same

And, that's it

More pix

Ladies and germs, finally getting around to posting some pix from the day drive and lunch that replaced PSF 2020 this year, thanks to COVID-19 ](*,) We met in Gilroy for the usual "schooling" of the sharks, then headed out to the north entrance of the Pinnacles National Park, which is closed unless ...

Graybeard, don't have a reply for you, but I'm going to move your post to the "Mechanical" forum, hopefully you will get more traction there

Sorry fellas, but I have decided to remove this thread, as it become WAY to hostile, and this is way more than this forum can handle [-X chicane, please [-o< plead your case in an more appropriate manor, or take it off line, which has been suggested by other board members :-({|= If you feel the need...

Yes maniac, they do start off "nude", or bare aluminum, as it were

Many do paint them with black wrinkle paint, but I tend to agree with you that red would be a bit too much

Post a photo perhaps so that we can see

Thanks Gregg, really appreciate it =D> The front brace was from BMP Design, alas they have gone the way of the dodo as well :( Those end pieces could use some refinishing as well, just not sure what to do with them yet, as they appear to have been chromed, back in the day :-? Thinking of powder coat...

The brace was custom made by a guy that used to be on the board but no longer is, think I recall his name being Brent Kemi from PNW :-k Here's a pic, and you can see that my not only should I have mounted the amp in front of the brace, but the wiring is a real clusterfuck :-({|= Maybe do an internet...

Removing the old glue, well, let me start by admitting that this is the THIRD time I have done this job ](*,) The first 2 was with that Mylar faced crap, and the only "good" thing about it is that the adhesive came off with the pads, as it was "peel and stick", not spray contact adhesive, like the C...

This, amongst other items

Powder coated parts, and there was no way that some of this was going back together with 40 year old hardware

Yes gents, finally getting to some car projects, and the 6er was first on the list, as if :roll: Enhancements include a new hood pad, thanks to Classic 9 Leather Shop, several parts powder coated, renewal of the windshield wiper system and lots of new hardware =D> Here's a few pix, 4 at a time, as u...

Hey, I resemble that remark

But it's true that it affects the potential sale of new vehicles in 2035, but we will be able to keep our beloved 6ers on the road

But since this issue is really global, I really wonder how much effect this ban will have

Well, not exactly, but I had to get you guys attention somehow :roll: Thanks once again to Pat (ONEBADM) we have a day drive and lunch planned starting in, of course, Gilroy, my new home town :-" Here's info from Pat, as he sent it to me: "Meet Sat. Oct 3 rd @ 9:30 Am at Sharbucks in Gilroy Outlets ...

Bill, do you want me to pull this thread so that nobody inquires for now

Just lemme know

Couple of quick key strokes

Sheesh, guilty as charged

This system was great when it was working (CD changer still works fine ) But I have to rewire the entire sound system, one of many projects lined up

I even have the home changer that takes the same 10-disk magazines

Hey Bert, I was referring to the airbox cover (and lower half), not the AFM #-o Anybody can cover something to make it look better :-" Still waiting on some new hardware before I complete everything that I am working on, then will start a new thread and post pix \:D/ Hoping for delivery today [-o<

Did you want this in the "Wanted" forum

I can move it for you

Just lemme know

Well, essentially, it is "new"

The AFM cover is from a later model, but to my knowledge, they all fit

Suffice to say that trying t clean that waffle cover on the AFM is next to impossible

How about that, I just had my air box powder coated as well

Doing a few other things under the hood and will be posting another thread with all of the upgrades, including a new hood pad
