RE: Let's get a lift!!!

Is that as high as it will lift the car?

For the e38 I can go another 2 feet, barely stand under neath, for my white e30 I can stand comfortably straight up under, but I'm 5'7" So anyone taller than me might have a tough time, but that's my ceiling max. Unfortunately I can't really do much if it's a van or truck, just tire rotation, brakes and so on. I had a Toyota Landcruiser and a Porsche Cayenne on here and I could lift it just where the tires were under chest high. I was debating on Costcos MaxJax but the max height was 45" on pad lift point and cost over $2000, the Atlas I bought can raise it as high as 70" without height adapters and 81" with but with the limitation being the roof of the car to my ceiling and costing $1500

Awesome build and quite motivating!

My wife said I'm torturing myself, reading great threads like yours. At times I hated you and planned on retirement, but I'm still in love with my unmolested Bruni.

The "My car is a whore" quote was hilarious.

Nice E38!! Still one of my favorite cars.

He would need a new tune which is $$$

[328ijunkie]

What tune he have now on OBD1? A tune on a FI application can mean 50-100hp.

RE: Let's do the engine!!!

5th/reverse sleeves, pins and spring for shift gate problems on ZF320


And 1-4 shifting sleeves and pins

[pandaboo911]

Was there significant wear on the pins?
My trans has trouble shifting into reverse. Really takes a lot of force to get to the reverse "gate"

Yes, mine was the 5th... The pin for 5th was stuck in the bore... I decided to replace all serviceable pins around the transmission and now every gear feels smooth and notchy!!

RE: Let's do the engine!!!

So first thing is first. lets fix the culprit of the overheating cause... the FAN!!!
Going to upgrade to the spal straight... which is apparently the strongest fan I can fit with 2,036 cfm!!! Perfect for that hot day with the A/C on.







Perfect clearance even with the condenser behind it
