That's what the thermal reactors and air pump are for, smog cleanup :roll: Are you planning on any custom plumbing, or looking for something that is strictly bolton :-k You could pick up a setup from an '80 vintage, but that would also include a cat :-? Pretty sure that anything '79 and prior was de...

The early 265 had a mechanical drive on the tranny that will not present any problems and will be needed if later used in the e9. Wondering if this needs to be plugged, although my recollection is that it does not seal when you connect the speedo cable, as it is probably sealed on the inside :-? Ma...

Holy crap! You're practically on the Mexican border! You should probably have Bobbo purchase for you and pay me to drive it out to ya. Yep, that makes the most sense. Send Bob a check and we'll get you sorted out! Actually Bill, he's right as there are several examples for sale thru Bimmer Bros, an...

This was in Bill's sig on that "other" board

LOTS = LOVE OF THE SIX

Try not to back out the bleeder too far, as the air can actually be coming around the threads, and not from within the caliper :-? One trick I heard was to apply a little grease on the threads, then reinsert the bleeder. This "should" prevent air escaping from the threads at least :roll: A...

Guess since I was the one who pointed you in this direction, maybe I should be the first to welcome you to the madness :wink: There is no "work" here, just post and watch the amazing amount of responses you will recieve 8) I surmise that there are plenty of nice M6 examples for you to &quo...

Actually with painted Euro bumpers, but the rest of the trim is shadowline

And what the hell, it's your 6er, have at it

Not that I can make it, bit of a drive for me :-? Nice 6er, welcome to the fold and I hope you enjoy the meet 8) [/quote]Hey guys, Just a quick note to pass along; this year's St. Paddy's Day gathering will be held on the 20th of March. With this being the first weekend after the change to PDT I am ...

That's right fellas, "finally" got that copy of the window sticker for an '88 M6

Went out the door for a staggering $60,400

Also of interest, the only option was a heated front seat

Not sure what was originally in the foam insert section, but I've got a bunch of fuses and bulbs in there now, along with a 4-prong relay

Horsetan can't even get his wheels pointed in the correct direction

Sorry Ivan, couldn't resist

He lives outside of SLC

Plus he's a real good guy

Yeah, get that Evite sent out, best way to get people to commit, etc., as you are keenly aware :roll: Lookin' forward to it :shock: Just hope that nothing's "planned" yet, as I've heard something about heading back east some time in May :-? Workin' on a new project as we speak, next time y...

Yes, doesn't look "too" bad, guess I was more surprised than anything to see that much rust and loss of sheetmetal :-? Got some great tips on how to repair that section (thanks Bert!) and since I am also ordering the rear strut brace/battery mount combo from Brent today, don't think the ba...

Ladies and germs, Didn't like all of the crap that was growing on my battery terminals, so I yanked it last night, only to find the mess that can be seen in the attached photo :oops: I've already been in contact with Brent (BKBimmer) regarding his custom made rear strut tower brace/battery tray offe...

Buellrider, with an E12 chassis 6er, one thing you probably DON'T have to worry about is the steering box mount :shock: This is strictly an issue with the E28 chassis, and well known as well, weak point of failure :-? Besides, I surmise that you have enough to worry about with that rig of yours :wink:

235/45 would match up with the 255/40 in height perfectly, the 235/40 being a little bit shorter :-? We're talking ao difference of about 1cm (0.4") in vertical height difference, not a big nor would be all that noticable :roll: But for those purists out there, the proper 17" sizes are 235...

Er, not sure what you mean by "OP", however

Much better than the OP.

And FWIW, I too like the L-jet injection look over the Motronic intake setup. The only thing better would be staring at an S38

Those aren't cheapass covers, those hoses are the real McCoy, true braided SS hoses

I've done a fair amount of that as well on my engine, not easy to do and requires a LOT of patience

Here's a shot, taken from thru the sun roof

Buelle, here's how to remove that front hearliner panel WITHOUT breaking the clips, like my PO :-? Remove the sunvisors and clips. Remove the rear view mirror, without punching yourself in the nose #-o Then starting from one side, you need to pry the panel out from underneath the windshield gasket :...

on the E12 chassis, the idler arm was the cause of an irritating creaking a while back :-? This arm is opposite the pitman arm from the steering linkage, just sorta keeps things under control on the non-steering side of life :roll: The other diagnosis' are highly possible, but don't discount the idl...

9.3:1, which I believe is obtained using flat topped pistons :-? Ralph, please keep me posted on whether you pull that lump or not. I am hoping one of these years to do an M90 conversion into my US '80, and do have a line on an engine up here in the bay area, but that hasn't happened yet either :rol...

Greatly appreciate the comment, and still hoping that we can hook up soon, again maybe at Santana Row some Saturday

And yes, people do wonder what model it is, with the spoliers she does look like an M6 to the untrained eye

But I never lie about that

As previously stated, while this is an automotive forum, we do have a lounge (Saloon) specifically for this purpose. I'm sure that Rainer's intentions were not to offend anyone, and he has already issued an apology :-? As a board moderator, I watch for stuff like this, and frankly see nothing wrong ...
