The 205/55s will give you a "slightly" better ride than 225/50s would, for instance, given the slightly taller sidewall

Maybe a good choice on your choice road surfaces

After speaking with Satch Carlson (Roundel editor) regarding how to get a story about our annual left hand coast E24 6er event, he told me that you have to write and submit your own :-? Well, I decided to have at it, even though the event was in the autumn of last year, and made it into the June edi...

There wouldn't be much difference in ride or handling, but Ralph is correct, 215/55's may be too tall and are taller than the stock size

The correct tire for 7 x 16 wheels is 205/55

Roger that, after all you do have an M6

Good call on shadowline as well, I've seen a few examples and it looks great

Plus 1

That M6 is a knockout

Done deal, just waiting on the logistics now

Jubilados, I bought these from Ralph in SoCal a while back, thinking that I may have to go back to stock due to smog issues, but never used them :-" According to Ralph they are off an M30B34, not sure what MY, however :-? The downpipes are obviously way different, but I'm sure the manifolds wou...

Hey Chuck, I have these parts, but from an unknown source

You are welcome to have them for what it costs me to ship them

You should be fine with 235/45's on those wheels :-" I have 17 x 8 ET20 up front with 235/45's and while they are "close" to the struts, no rubbing :wink: I have even thought about spacers up front, maybe 10 mm or so, to bring the wheels out a bit, so I also doubt that fender rubbing ...

Plus 1, now that is outstanding =D> I've been a bit of a "hired gun" myself, although I typically insist on them coming to me :roll: This is due in large part because I have the tools, jacks, stands and whatnot to get most anything done :-" Great story, glad it's working out and pleas...

Wow, you are going all out

I didn't recall that you had body color bumpers, but should look good, more modern

And shadowline door handles to boot

Dang Pablo, going to town

Here's what I've got, keeping in mind that this is from a 6er that's 8 years older

I have an aftermarket windshield, from Dmitri (kronus) in fact

Good question

The website is still up

Let us know if/when they get back to you

Agreed, Scott, thanks for posting

Geez, what a complicated mess

I'll take care of moving it to the Tech Forum

Well, Ed went silent on me again, guess I need to reach out to him, again

I'll give him a shout tomorrow and report back

Fellow left hand coast sharkies, the PSF braintrust has been hard at work planning this year's event, to be held outside of the Yosemite south gate in the lovely little town of Oakhurst \:D/ Attached is a flyer for the host hotel, which of course is the first order of business, booking your room :-&...

What exactly does the dry ice process do, and/or how does it work

I guess I can look online for a shop that does it

Ooh, side swiped your 633, that's a deal breaker right there

I have no idea what age your daughter was, or is now, but lessons learned along the way go to being a responsible adult, good lord willing

I hope all is better now, including her driving

Thanks Ken, "broken" in being the operative word :-? I've been keeping up with the maintenance on my own, including plugs and coils at the obligatory 60K, besides oil changes :roll: But she managed to scrape up the front on a high curb, even though the park distance sensors were screaming ...

Yeah, she clicked this off on the odometer this week, had to take a pic

Well, welcome to the madness

And nice to see that you have accepted the challenge

Good looking example there, and plenty of info here as well, you're in the right place

Sold for $19,425

Thanks Ross, now why didn't I think of that #-o However, thanks to the "Big Blue Book", here's the skinny :-" The larger silver unit is for the "Lamp Test Unit for Check Control", the test panel that Series 1 versions have \:D/ Interesting location :shock: The smaller black ...

While I was working on some other stuff and had the rear seats out, I've seen these 2 electronic devices before and never gave them much thought, but curiosity got the better of me this time :-? They are located under the left hand seat [-( This is a series 1 version, anybody know what the function ...

I used 5/8" SAE sized hose on mine, series I with 2X lines to and from the reservoir, one to the pump and the other from the steering box, without any issues =D> It was labeled 16.1 mm, just for reference :-" Have you reached out to some of what I consider the "more reputable" se...
