Hello Jason, +1 on Brucey's comments. The wheel size will not affect your fuel economy as much as the tire size will. Wheel size affects your ride (driving comfort) as larger wheels will force you to use smaller profile (Aspect Ratio will be lower) tires. The smaller profile of the tires will reduce...

Bulge Dent in Roof - Priceless - because the shift knob is finally out.

I'll sell you a complete kit for $1000 delivered to your door in SoCal. $1800 plus tax and shipping seems a bit high. Then they want $800 to install it! For $2600++ I would just buy a 5 speed car and go from there.

Ship the seats Greyhound for about $70 each. I have the boxes for you Nick for $3 each.

LOLA - LOL alot

Typically different transmission bell housings. The 87 trans will have the 2 holes in the bellhousing for the flywheel position sensors. The 88 transmission might have the holes in place but they are usually factory cast closed as the 88 did not use flywheel sensors. If the trans does not have the h...

Try these guys. They broker for different carriers so they get volume discounts with DHL/FedEx/UPS. http://www.ipsparcel.com/

I think he was having a little bit of fun.

WOMP!!! Yeah!

Post a pic of the pump/filter area. My early car had the two pump system so I'm not too sure about yours. Wait for Brucey, Bert or Bobbo to chime in with their wisdom of the e12 chassis. Filters should be placed after pumps to prevent the pump from cavitating. Much easier to push through a clogged f...

RD or RacDyn is very well known in BMW circles. They focus on newer cars now.

Sorry for the problems Scott. My suggestion is to always ask a friend/fellow BC member questions prior to any transaction you are not sure about. There may have been a BC member looking for those wheels and you could have made more than the $30 per. Lesson learned and thanks for the heads up. I hate...

Great eye there Mr. E. The Cali coastline is a constant migrating flow of different sea life and it just so happens they caught one playing in the air. Probably giving Abbadon and his group applause for having a great day. Either that or someone is good with Photoshop. Ralph Skyline is always cold a...

That e28 looks sweet also. Great pics.

The key cylinder is not open on the other end to push out the broken part. The ignition switch is also mated to the end of key cylinder. You would basically have to remove the key cylinder and disassemble it to remove the broken parts. IIRC there is a small hole where you can insert a pin to release...

Looks like some of you NorCal folks had a very good time. Wish I could have made it. Roll call please of your attendees.

Those are truly some epic pics. Also looks like Josh needs some wheels!

Bobby, Are the top hats at the ends keeping the cv joint from mating up with the flange? I have seen different size flanges and top hats before. Are both ends able to slide in and out on the shaft? The shaft also has to have some play (in and out) when the car is sitting down on the suspension and t...

88/89 are unique with the "World Bumpers" The end pieces are molded plastic painted the cars color. The filler piece above the bumper is also painted plastic. The airdam is also different. Some have done the conversion to the 88/89 bumpers and it does look better imo. The 88/89 bumpers do ...

I would suspect the MC as well. Unfortunately you may have inadvertently caused the MC to fail. Pump bleeding brakes puts the MC plunger in an area where it did not regularly penetrate previously. The bore of the MC may not be as smooth in that area as the regular area of travel. That basically dama...

As with anything that is said in a derogatory manner, the person commenting is usually trying to improve their status by putting others in a negative light. It is true many Asians can't drive very well because many are just now learning how to actually drive. It's one thing to operate a motor vehicl...

Those are FloFit. Very nice condition. They were made to compete with Recaro (actually Recaro copies) but more rare because they didn't make too many of them. They'll work well in a shark but you'll have to make some simple adapters to fit them in your car. Good score if you bought them.

Link works in a roundabout way. Thanks for the link as it shows Bimmerfest West scheduled for Pasadena again on May 14, 2011. Time to start making plans folks.

Ralph

Good to see you finally posted a pic. Now you'll get requests for many more. Phillip beat me to it so here is my request. I didn't get a close look at your car when I met you but hopefully you'll join in on some of the drives and meets we have. Nice car. And the wheels aren't too shabby either. Ralp...

Looks to be some fun. I'm a little too old to appreciate the competition part of drifting but I do enjoy getting my shark sideways around some tight corners. It's good that you're allowed to have fun under controlled conditions so you're not messing around on the streets like I used to do. Drifting ...

Since the car is a weekend fun driver, you should tackle some of those easy repairs. The fan switch is a little more complicated for some but the other items are simple easy fixes. You can also save a ton of money by hitting the scrap yards in your area. Most of the parts you need cross with many ot...
