Right outa your closet, right Tommy

Not sure where you snagged that manican, however

Wow, you're way ahead of us :-? Typically would be the last weekend in September or the first weekend in October, at least that's been our goal the last few years :-k I think this coming year we will head back to Paso Robles and next year for our 20th, Monterrey =D> But not to worry, we'll keep the ...

Welcome to the madness

And, uh, what's not to like

If that HP quote is true, you'll have to tell us more, a LOT more

Beautiful color, love the wheels and stance, engine appears to be an S38 3.6L or 3.8L

Thanks and again, welcome

Sorry I haven't gotten back to you in a while, but I just copied and spun that interior shot around, and they do appear pretty straight =D> Any idea what shipping my cost to postal code 94085 :-k Still need to think about this, as mine aren't bad, but are warped a bit :-({|= Please let me know appro...

Plus one on that lack of resonator comment :-({|= This will not only increase the overall sound level but tends to drone at certain RPM's as well, without the resonator :-? Since you have a Euro and apparently either don't have to deal with smog testing or are passing when you do, at least you don't...

If this is L-jet injection, they are very different :shock: In fact, the L-jet setup doesn't even use a throttle cable, it employs a complete rigid linkage arrangement =D> I would have to look to see if I've got any pix squirreled away, but a look at a site such as realoem should give you a reasonab...

Are the "A" pillar covers warped at all

Clear pix would be great, especially if they are still installed in the car

Are you kidding me

OMG, be still my beating heart

Fought this almost 2 years ago and had to pay an "extortion" fee to get through smog, even though I pass at the tailpipe, due to my non-CARB complaint headers

Thanks for posting, made my year

Glen, no answers, but I am going to move your post to the correct forum :-k My guess would be that you won't really know what you're up against, until the parts arrive and you have a look see :-? I would expect some custom fab work will be in order, most likely by a competent exhaust shop [-o< Good ...

Well, I'll be damned :oops: Now that's a very early 5er :shock: I'm no expert, but I don't see how you can go from drums to disks without the proper subframe to mount everything to, etc. :-k Sorry, but I cannot offer any assistance regarding using Mini parts, or any other substitutes, for that matte...

Fernando, don't have too much in the way of suggestions, but I do have a question for you :-k You stated that your E12 (presumed to be a first gen 5er...) has drum rear brakes :-? Not doubting you, but that's "almost" hard to believe [-( Here in the states, E12 5ers did not have the vented rotors ou...

Good bet it's Jay, he does all sorts of rebuilds, A/C compressors and whatnot

Gonna move your post to the correct forum

Any chance they published this on line as well

Sounds like worthy reading, regardless of the content and detail

Thanks Ken

Brent, don't need any parts as I have a series I 6er, but am curious how such damage was incurred, at a weird angle

Very sorry to see, especially another fine looking Euro example

Well, maybe it is 6er or car related, since I don't know what it is :-? Found this will cleaning out and packing, yes, STILL in the process of moving #-o It may be some of torch (flashlight, for you Yanks :roll: ) as it appears to have a bulb of sorts in the end :-k Maybe it's an insert to a key fob...

Only a few pix still coming up

Why not just load them directly instead of using a photo hosting site

Definitely interested in this as well

chicane, moved your post to the Exterior forum, but clipper is right, look under the spare tire well

Craig, super glad you guys made it and enjoyed yourselves :lol: Really, how could you not :roll: I've got plenty of pix and hoping load 'em up, soon as I get some free time, as soon as possible :-k Also planning on writing an article for the Roundel, surly that's gonna be a while, since we are STILL...

Fabricate it myself :-k I wish I had that capability :-? Trying to recall the name of the fella that was making these, think it was Brent Kemi, might try and do a search on the board [-o< BTW, shortly after doing this, the Interstate did crap out, so I went with an Optima red top =D> Which, of cours...

And, the most important question, how many of those $ did you have to part with, if you don't mind divulging

Agree with Ken however, outstanding results

Looks like they had snow at the higher elevations, any recent updates on the forecast

Surely gonna be fun on summer tires

ACHIEVED!!!

Congrats Brucey, and welcome back

Well, now isn't this getting interesting =D> So, maybe E3 it is :-k Curious what that additional "3" is stamped on yours :-? Shit, think I'd drive all the way to BC to get my grubby fingers on that one :-" Frankly, while a call to Metric Mechanic might solve this puzzle, I've tried calling them befo...

Steve, thanks for posting this, ya think I would know by now that I have to sign up and prepay

I recall many having to pay on the spot last year for meals, which of course is a PITA for you

Thanks again, see ya next week

Uh, plus nothin' Bert :-({|= So, attached photo shows both the all important "S" and "40" stamped next to it =D> The seller swore that it was a 3.64, 40:11 as Dave duly noted :-" What I don't have is a photo of the 38:11, which I guess is stamped on the casing somewhere :-k The seller also told me t...
