Re: Custom Interior Decals

How are these applied to whatever surface they are made for (turn signal or cruise control switch, for example)? Do you have any side by side photos of these applied compared to OEM? They look nice, and I like the opportunity they offer for some customization.

Thanks,

Re: Updating an M635csi Track Car to a Race Car

Hello. What are your thoughts on the work done by Power Plant Racing on the engine? How many miles on the car since their work? How many of those on a track?

Thanks,

Re: BMW M88 small coolant hoses

Please keep us posted on your progress on this. I have pondered the same thing myself. I assume you are doing it to have less drag on the engine, or some other reason(s)?

Re: M88 crank nut removal

Hey Ronnie, I will have to get a pic later, but I am using one of the engine support bars that rests on the fender channels. It has a threaded hook that you can then use to support the engine with. You should have a bracket with a hole in it attached to the front of the engine for this purpose. I'll...

M88 crank nut removal

I called myself searching around for the answer, but didn't find it. I would like to remove the crank nut (jesus nut), and want to know how to safely keep the crank from spinning. My particular situation, the car is up off the ground and the front subframe is out. I have seen mention of a flywheel l...

Re: Gertie Nears Completion -S38B38 with 370hp+ now in my 633CSi

Curious about more info on the brakes. What size wheels are you running again? 17"? Will those calipers properly fit inside them and still grip the rotor? I ask becuase I thought the original wheel size these were designed for was 18 or 19" wheels. Also, are you changing the master cylinde...

Rob,

Just to make sure I am clear, it sounds like the newer M30 pump will not retrofit to the M88/S38, is this correct?

Those wheels are nice. Do you have any more details on them? What size are they? Do you happen to know the weight?

Nice looking car all around. Great to hear she's getting the love she deserves.
