Slammin' finished something....

[ST1G]

Man, after reading those comments I had to check and make sure I didn't post those dic pics that were meant for Blunt.

Those were definitely what I was looking at, but I got them from Lambo.

This is going to happen....



....they are 16x7".....Wondering if I can pop a 245/50 on them.....the overall height will be the same as the stock 225/60/15.

Other option is a 225/50....which will be close. I'd rather run the widest tire possible....but IDK if a 245 on a 7" wide wheel will look dumb....

Also waffling on running them with center caps, or without....

245 on 7 will fit but it looks and functions poorly. I'm all for maximum tire, but 225 is plenty for a 7.

Ya, that's what I was thinking. We'll see....I'm still not sure these are what I want to put on the car yet....

Run the caps.

Slammin's square jerk.....project melting pot content plssss

Caps definitely caps

Man, popped a new center link in and this thing's steering is tiiiiight. Love it.

Right valve cover gasket is puking. Gonna have to address that sooner than later, but really, I'm loving this car.

At least now the bottom isn't hemorrhaging oil, and it actually steers. Have some Moosehead bushings for the UCAs, then the suspension should be all buttoned up for now.

Just doing my dooty.....duty?

So I've been dicking with this 750.

Fixed a couple vacuum leaks, now the CEL doesn't come on at idle. Also replaced a couple swollen fuel lines. Purple Power'd the engine bay.

Muffler was rubbing the rear bumper on the side....rear bumper is smooshed in a little. So removed the bumper to push out the shock.....found out the muffler was held in by a gloriously stretched hanger on one side, and a hose clamp on the other. So replaced those and the muffler hangs proper now, nice and tight. Bumper I'll just need a new shock. :/

Dicking with the windshield washers and the damn things are all disintegrated. But did drive it to work this morning.

Nothing like a 27-year-old V12 snowmobile to put a smile on your face

Whelp.....I'll continue here....

Chasing misfiring. No codes. Under load, over 60mph is the most pronounced. It's at 1500rpm. The dizzy caps were original from 1988.....265000 miles on them. The center button was worn to a nub. Thought..GREAT! I'll replace and be good. So I scrounged up some caps....one from a 91 850i and the other from a 86 325.....both in much much better shape than the original ones to my car.

No dice.

In the interim I repaired the windshield washers.....replacing the nozzles and some of the hose.

So, last night I was dicking with the washers again. Paul (Moosehead) convinced me it'd be a good time to just replace my leaky intake gaskets. I have the Max Lumens gaskets for the intakes.....and have been sitting on them for a while now.

7:30pm, 2/16/16

So, removed the intakes. I had a spare set from the 850 that I'd previously cleaned up. Then figured why not r&r the valve covers and do gaskets. They're RIGHT THERE...so I did that. Good thing I did. One oil sprayer bolt was backed out almost all the way. All of the others were missing the bottom crush washer....and three were missing the upper crush washer. Cam wear was non-existent. They're perfect. So.....took care of that....buttoned up the valve covers. Resealed the fuel injectors, replaced all the little fuel hoses under there with proper BMW 8mm injection line and new clamps. I had to partially remove the right side intake manifold because I forgot to install the fuel pipe that fits under it. Probably lost a good 30 minutes dicking with that.

This is going back together.



All told I had it back together and running at 12am.

The kicker?

Didn't fix my misfire issue.

But it did get a lot prettier under the hood.

I can't wait to see all the burn out videos.

Once I get something other than these snow tires on there. They technically aren't mine....
