Been running them for years with no problems, and I have driven in the rain with them as well
I surmise that there may be something wrong with that set, since the car sat for years without use :?

That appears a LOT like . . .
the one that Alpina used to sell
Any thoughts or comments on that possibility
George, you may want to be careful and check that out first :?
Also don't forget that this placement does block the center vents, FWIW

Er, what about that axle . . .
Looks like you've got a few projects lined up, may need to perform the "needed" before the "want to" list :?
But then, you do have another 6er that you can bring
REALLY looking forward to this meet, about 15 cars signed up now

Proposed route
May I ask what the probable route for our 'drive' is, or is that gonna be a surprise? No surprises, we just haven't "quite" nailed that down yet :roll: Here are our thoughts: 280 North from Scott's place, get off either in Portola valley or all the way up to 84. Up 84, cross 35 (Skyline) ...

Jeez, a guy invites a few folks over, goes to Costa Rica to learn Spanish, and do dangerous things on ropes in the jungle (I pointed out to my lovely wife that every time I took her picture she was wearing a helmet...), and all hell breaks loose!

However, getting a pony keg is not a bad idea
In fact, pretty sure that Tommy won't be along till later in the day, perhaps I can enlist him to handle the beverages enmass
BTW, Jockey Box = tunes

Speedo drive
Hey Eric :-) My guess is that the 265 you have is from a later model (85?) which has an electronic speedo, driven off the diff somewhere :roll: But while I don't want to tell you to do something that may be irreverseable, I bet that the drive gears are still there underneath that plug :shock: So, if...

There's a few different versions out there . . .
Tazer is referring to the stock US M6 version, black rubber surround with a body colored insert. These are favored by most :roll: But there are also a couple of Euro variants, both all black rubber. The more slim version that came on M635's and the older "rubber ducky" wedge type that came...

I am running 9 x 17's out back, ET22, which is just about perfect. Lots of room back there, for even wider wheels and tires, if you wanted to :wink: BTW, the "correct" tire size would be 255/40's, those 265's will make your speedo readings slightly lower than your actual speed :? However, ...

There is no resonator on the BB systems right? You should check to see what they use in the center section as a resonator these days.
