My money is on Will's sentiments above.

Best thing for you to do at this point.
Rule out major components before chasing more issues.


Oh, and for the love of pete, stop using tap water in your engine! The rust in the coolant...

Do yourself a huge favor and drive to a local speed shop, or make the trek to HMS Motorsports in MA.
They have more race seats than you care to count available. You need to sit in a seat before...

How did you test the alternator?
There is no way for the battery to have died while driving if your alternator and charging system is/was working properly.

I suspect your voltage regular is worn...

I have a pair in storage if needed... they were removed from my '90 about 4 years ago and are OK, but might have shrunk a bit in the rear upper corner??

love fresh paint!!!

I would like to respectfully disagree with the above sentiment.

Suspension geometry is not what wheels you put on the car, we're talking about camber and toe curves, caster, bump-steer etc. The...

Surprised to see it up for sale again so soon.
Looks like the "lever" for the spark-plug tool is now missing though based on the auction photos.

It's a...

Ron - Not trying to dodge your question, but I won't comment until the system is finalized for production.



The first system should be on-hand in 7-10 days, and I will try to furnish audio...

Also wanted to mention that the system will come with an O2 sensor port installed, so you can easily install a wideband O2 sensor.

Total system, including muffler is expected to weigh 25lbs.

Evening gentlemen, some answers are below.

I need to stress again - This is a RACE-ONLY system. It is NOT designed for the street, and SHOULD NOT be used on a street car.




No V-band...

Group,

Below are some pre-production images of our newest E30 M3 Exhaust System.
With the great success of our dual pipe, non-catalytic system, we decided it would make sense to build a single...

New batch of systems is due to arrive within a week I believe if it hasn't already! I'll drop by the shop on Monday to confirm. :)

Original Tii in that condition - $5k+

Update:

'98 Arctic Silver 318i sedan

Much like Jimmy - it's 30+ mpg at 80mph for my 100 mile a day commute!

I find the offers from the original posting of this thread comical.
I don't think anyone would balk at this for ~$5k now... :)

I think they are releasing the tires in waves, so they may not be offering the 225/45/15 right away?

Great, thank you.
I saw a news article from Eric Heinrich about a new tire from Dunlop the g-force Rival which comes in 225/45/15. I believe it's out on Tirerack, so it might be worth looking into.

Replica of the original Flossman bumper.

Mick composed this chart a few years back, and shows the Flossman original: http://www.mydig.com/auto/articles/bumpers/

Am I to understand that they will be phasing out the Z1 Star Spec's in favor of this new design moving forward?

Might be late to the party, but here's a new(?) 225/45/16 tire offering for those of us running 16" wheels.

Great customer service Mel.
I'd want my customers to see thousands of photos of knock-off's instead of the actual product too when trying to sell something!

:screwy:

That could only be the case on very old Stromung's.
Presently they are all 100% stainless...

Both are excellent pieces.
I think it comes to aesthetics more than anything... straight tips or...

Your FG airbox is the most elegant non-OEM airbox I've ever seen.
For my taste, it is the single best looking option in a non-race car ever, even more than the glossy CF boxes.

Beautiful car,...

There are 3 great options for S14's in your "local" area:

Does anyone know of any TV channels here in the USA that still covers WRC as comprehensively as SPEED did in the 90's?
I used to love watching the recaps and stage coverages on SPEED. Watching it...

The keen will note the distributor cover has been hastily/shoddily repainted as evidenced by the paint run. (black car)
The radiator top looks to have been painted while taping off the main core....

Adam,

I believe my father, Mario, at Vintage Sports & Racing has a complete black OEM interior here in NH available.
You can reach him at mario@vsr1.com

Best,
Chris

Your best source for proper Hella lights is Guten Parts. Contact Levent, the owner. Depo's are pure junk.

I was neurotic, to the point of being afraid to drive the car when I had it repainted 4 years ago.
The more I drove it, the more I got over the fear of chips and other drivers. Now I drive it to...

Honestly, I think the "AWESOME MODERN SUPERCAR COLOR" trend for a "shop demo" vehicle, is sooo over-done, that it's lost it's pop. They blend in with every other Tom, Jim, and Harry who think their...

Interesting... I wonder if new switches are manufactured to different tolerances than original switches which may contribute to your problems?

Have either of you actually replaced the switch itself yet?

Justin,

Looks beautiful. I'd put the OEM mirrors, M5 wheels, and silver grills back on. That would be perfection, a Henna Sport Evo2/3 hybrid. ;)
Did you sell the RK's?

-Chris

Those are simply thin stamped sheetmetal plates that mount between the OEM upper strut mount and the shock tower.
They are NOT suitable for replacing the top of the strut housing.

I think your...
