Re: Euro Paint on U.S. Spec Car?
The paint on my 84 633 is beyond shot, but it is Burgundy Red Metallic #199. It was one of the last 633s shipped to the U.S.

Re: Are these original wheels?
If converted, they can always be returned to original if you keep the metric barrels.

Re: BMW 635csi 1987
The inner face of the flange is as forged. The outer face is machined perpendicular to the hub and drive. Is it a mistake? I don't know.

Re: My 6'er
It's called "mission creep". You set out to replace the roundel on the boot lid and end up rebuilding the entire rear suspension just because you were there already.

I'm 72, and that much effort became not worth it about 5 years ago.

Re: The missus' X5 hits a "devil" of a milestone
We had our new Equinox a grand total of 14 days when my daughter drove it into the side of our storage shed, one of numerous dings and dents she's inflicted on our vehicles. I replaced the right front fender on her 95 318is THREE TIMES after she ran it into trash bins (TWICE) and a guard bollard at ...

Re: Fuel Pressure Issues
To test the regulator with the engine running, pull and plug the vacuum line going to the regulator while testing fuel pressure. The pressure should go to maximum with no vacuum feed. You can delete the bottom "regulator". It is actually a device to smooth out fuel pump pulses, not a press...

Re: Wild dashcam video - better check your wheel studs!
Amazing that the Kia driver survived, but it wasn't lug nut failure that caused this incident. See attached screenshot. The entire hub, brake disc and wheel came off. The lug nuts were still holding the wheel to the hub assembly. Probably the spindle nut came off, at least that's my guess. It would ...

Re: 628 CSI ‘81 choked too rich vacuum?
Welcome to the group!
Does the engine have the three basics: fuel pressure, injector pulses and spark? Any one missing equals a no start/no run.

I'm guessing you have an automatic transmission, because that is the warning light for a transmission fault.

Re: Weird Side Effect of a Car with Active Exhausts
The E36 M50/52 etc had a pair of pipes on the same side of the bumper coming out of the same muffler. One only opened/flowed exhaust at high RPM, controlled by a vacuum line from the intake. The second pipe was normally closed by engine vacuum. At WOT the vacuum dropped and the valve would open the ...

Although collectors cars usually don't bob around in price as much as everyday vehicles, they do somewhat follow the overall price trends. The recent insanity of used car prices going through the roof seems to be over, or at least a lot less crazy than ~2 years ago. Watching Wayne Carini's Chasing C...
