Exhaust work looks great!

Need video of exhaust now that you have long tubes and different mid section.

like a whore, this car is still a dirty bitch.
Brand new bmw heater control valve. Less than 1k miles, leaking
When driving on the freeway, the car shakes like Michael J Fox. The only thing in the steering not replaced is the power steering rack. I figured deleting the power steering would solve the chronic leaking all BMWs have with their reservoir. Now the car shakes so bad on the freeway it’s now un settling to drive. So I bought a refurbished e36 rack, remanufactured power steering pump and all new hardware and lines. When I install that in two weeks I’ll try to remember to take photos and post them.


Now it’s new tires. BFG sport comp 2’s.



I’m not sure I’ve let on a dark secret about the build yet. When I built the car, I ran out of money and could not afford pistons or to have my extra 885 head redone. So I have a AMC head on the car and the lack of power is evident throughout the entire power band. the other flaw is that the block was over honed a little too much and the pistons knock when the engine is cold. I should have bought over sided pistons but again, no money.
To fix this, I recently bought a s52 lower, took the rods and traded the s52 crank and piston for an s50 crank. The s50 crank requires less work and less risk. In a few months I’ll contact bimmerheads to have my extra 885 rebuilt with a cam, port and oversized valves.

I just did my 318 with that exact threader, and the lockstrip fit into it..

weird bc i used the same one and it started to shave the sides as it went through

[kronus]

ya the e30 lock strip does not fit in the normal size threader. but i think he was talking about the corner metal pieces. those u just use a screwdriver and spray

i pulled up the ends of the plastic locking strip. loaded them into the corner piece then shoved it down it using silicon spray and a flat head. it took maybe 3 minutes for both sides. maybe you have the wrong corners or locking strip is too long.

Ill try that where do i get silicon spray ive never seen it before

[Cabriolet]

yep and I ended up bending them instead of getting them in. I just dont get it....maybe i need to warm the rubber up a little?

i used a my hands and silicon spray and a flat head screw driver to finish. my rubber is new so it wasnt hard to get them in. on an old car, it could be hard.



I was the first car there this year.

Matteo, lol

Got any tips when you put these in. I tried many times and gave up after nearly scratching my paint a half dozen times.

btw car looks good as always
