Hey Bert, it was a great feeling to finally get at least the rear pair of these springs in

I only took a short drive, as my power steering is whining and that's my next issue to address

And you should easily be able to sell those Bilsteins here or elsewhere

Hmm

Hey Tim, I actually purchased these from another board member who was picking up E12 chassis parts as they become increasingly harder to come by :-({|= Here's a link to their website, they are in Sweden :-" http://b-gsuspension.com/ I have attached another photo of the ST spring that's been on the 6...

Yes, it's true, I've had these springs from Bert for years :roll: While doing some other work in the rear recently, I noticed rubber bits sitting on the spring perches, and thought that the pads were disintegrating :-? Turns out it was just the closed cell foam bump stops that apparently aren't even...

Thanks for the pix Lee

You guys really know how to put on a show

And that is a very nice example

Love the wheels (as if ) but I'm not sure about those headlights

Glad to see that you've been active on the board as well

Not to worry, I'll leave this post here and just copy the technical bulletin info into another thread in the "Tech Articles" forum

Tim, I did talk to admin about your issue, sorry to say that he's just gonna leave things as is

Uh, you talkin' to me

Yes, I can do that and will get to that shortly

Man, that's quite a list

I did this as well a few years ago when I blew an A/C hose after having the system charged, dumping the freon right onto my headers #-o The cloud of smoke was not pretty :-({|= But I priced the 3 flexible hoses from BMW and would have cost me half a grand [-X So I took them to a hydraulic hose shop,...

Scroll down a bit in this thread from Song, also an '84 633 US model

You guys are getting me thinking that I should check my mounts, one of these days

Plus 3 on using 20W50 only, but plus 1 on not using synthetic

Maybe in a freshly rebuilt engine

Thanks Dave, I have to admit that it looks much better than the one I made :roll: But the more I look at the setup and think about it, it appears that the only purpose for the plate in between the wheel and hub is to mount the horn button :-? Me thinks that it wouldn't add anything for strength, in ...

Wow, now that's green all right

Beautiful example though

Some dingus previous owner chopped the line and soldered it shut

Now that's just plain ole messed up

Talk about a hack job

You could probably find the required parts and restore it, but I doubt it would be easy

Wheel reinstalled without the mounting ring and new horn button installed

Gents, in my quest to install the old school Motorsport Roundels everywhere, I got hung up on the steering wheel horn button, and made my own. :-" It sorta came out all right, but I wasn't satisfied, so I bought one from Renown https://www.renownusa.com/ as their info told me that it would fit =D> W...

Awesome example

I really love the Motorsport striping along the lower edges and seat inserts, as well as the shadowline trim

Only bit of a bummer I see are the DOT mandated side marker lights

Welcome and keep us posted on your fine work

No friggin' way

So, which one of these posts do you want to keep, Bert

And how 'bout some pix

OK, time to get back to Trump

Saw this Doonesbury comic Sunday before last, and thought it was quite funny, and ironic at the same time

Go easy on me fellas

Excellent work indeed

She has cleaned up well, and I'm a bit surprised that coming from the north east, the tin worm hasn't gotten to her

Welcome to the madness, you've landed in the right place

Done

GLWS

Tulsa6, do you want me to move your post to the ""For Sale" forum

This is the "Wanted" forum

Thanks gents, lots of hard work and WAY too many times in and out of the trunk ](*,) I guess it's a good thing I'm only 5' 7" and 150 pounds :roll: Paul, I spent a lot of time trying to get the old Sony to work, but finally gave up :-({|= Loving the Alpine, great sound, still sorting out the numerou...

However, GRNSHRK calling dibs on a sale and being within pickup distance of the city from garlic country wins every time.

Not to worry Jim, if you are interested, please pursue

If I bought another set of wheels, I would likely wind up in divorce court

Welcome back Dmitry

Great story, nice find, and nice E30's

So, how much for the style 42's

Oh, and you are correct, I did buy your windshield, and a truckload of other parts

It's still in the green shark in fact

Plus 1

When I relocated the battery to the trunk, I routed the positive cable along the left hand side under the carpet, as there's actually a channel there seemingly for this purpose

Same is true for all of the stereo wiring, which I ran along the right hand side

Update, the head unit finally displays on correct amber with the help of my "son in law", even Inspector Gadget Tommy couldn't figure it out :-? I also went back into the trunk and redid a lot of the wiring, using proper 8 gauge wire for the grounds and ferrule type connectors on the speaker leads =...
