I then got really serious and went the whole hog

Re: Got gauges?!? Series 1 custom VDO gauge installation
Hers my first go.
I'm pretty sure (need to check) I still have this "binnacle" if anyone wants it, less gauges - postage only. Is styled to replicate the main binnacle. Double sided tape to top of dash and ran cabling through air vents so no holes

Send me your email and I'll send you the full Group 2 Homologation Spec's - pdf file too large to attach

Re: Opinions on exterior mod that won't be "visible"
I am considering replacing the reflectors in the front bumper side surrounds with actual lights
What's the reason? Interesting different laws in different lands. That sort of thing wouldn't be allowed over here. especially being orange/red. However we don't emission test like you guys in Cal.

Re: 1984 633CSi Rises again!
Yeah you need the right hose. You mind find it difficult to get the otiker clamp tool on the hoses connecting to the filler tank neck in which case look at using fuel injection hose clamps. They pull up evenly and don't cut into the hose like a jubilee clamp. Also be aware is easy to break the hose ...

Re: Trickle Charger on Cigarette Lighter?
Is what I did above^^. Maybe isn't clear, that's a lighter socket next to the isolating switchMaybe a better solution would be to install a dedicated socket, wired directly to the battery, which could be located somewhere out of sight.

Re: Trickle Charger on Cigarette Lighter?
I've done this for a number of years now, using a C-Tek charger. See pic. Works fine and I have a modern ECU.
I do the same with my boat.

Re: Cabin Constantly Hot, Need Help
If your heater control is on full cold and your heater valve is working properly this should be regulating the water flow through your heater core. The new "BMW" heater valve I purchased was not good. http://bigcoupe.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=31277&p=223549&hilit=heater+va...
