I can, PM me and we'll get it done. I live in San Jose but work in Berkeley.

Hey who can finish rolling my late model fenders in the bay area?

Willing to drive anywhere in the yay for a good price. :D

PM me!

First oil change on the 24v. What oil (brand/ weight) should I use?

[golde30]

which 24v you got?

[2mAn]

M52B28. Its the aluminum block from the 97-98 Z3 (not the TU)

[decay]

i think his was around $1200.
i honestly dont think he is making any money on that top, probably just breaking even.
you shoud buy his and sell yours

mine has teh saggy headliner and bird shit stains that won't come out of that shitty vinyl stuff.

$1200 is a fair price for that much labor, IMO. i'll keep you in mind, and maybe have you touch up a couple other things while i'm at it.

(this is my hardtop. there are very few like it, but this one is mine.)

[golde30]

Hmm I don't know much about alum block. But for my s52, in use 10w50 Total racing. If it gets colder in the winter, which it usually doesn't, I use the 5w40 total synthetic.

Total is te tits

Rodoni can, he's located in Fremont but drives out IIRC
I'm working with him and his brother to roll my fenders and refinish my m3 weaves

^ looks terrible in white. go flat black or something.
it takes about 3 hour to peel the top
it takes about 4 hours to sand off the glue
about 6 hours of body work, these things are FAR from smooth
then paint.

Agreed. Body color hardtops do not look appealing: the c-pilar is too wide. Satin Black or bust

my hardtop is black now. i'm not going to pay $1200 to have it be the same color.

the only thing missing from the car in oliver's post is black trim to contrast all the white, he got rid of too much of it with the m3 fender conversion.

my car has that. black door trim, black euro bumper trim, black rockers, black rieger front lip, refreshed black paint on the rear valance, and black tails (thanks Steven).

DMV never gave me my veteran plates that i paid a few hundred bucks for, so i guess i should check if "STRM2PR" is available. (edit: it isn't.)

if you don't like it; oh well, car's not for sale anyway :P

[JinormusJ]

Noooooo
U hav to spend $$$ to make ur cahr how I leik it

Tensely awaiting a call back for some new runaround wheels for the E30.

Call. Me. Now.

[freeride53]

hey guys do these fit on e30's w/o clearance issues?

[freeride53]

anyone?

[golde30]

no. the miata has higher offset wheels, and also has a 54.1 hub bore. would need maybe some 10-20mm spacers custom made with reduced hub bore on wheel side. also would probably have to run an extended length wheels stud kit for the spacers.
