Thanks for the help guys.

There's a wednesday night meet this week on Bf.c that some of us are going to in Denver.

Where / when is this meet? I looked around a little on bimmerforums, but did not find anything about it. I'd probably be able to make it out, though.

^^^ That's your brother?? ha ha he just bought some E32 crap off me yesterday!! That car sure looks good in person...

Just tried to lube the antenna mast on the E28... It's now in pieces in the trunk floor and I'm going to bed with a hole in the trunk where the antenna should be. Damn old cars.

That picture reminds me of a slightly more arid SoCal.

I hate that. The E36 spoiler brake light disintegrated when I tried to replace the bulbs. Ended up just buying a new one ($80).

yup, sure is frustrating. I think I can get a new mast and cable for $40 from BMW. Looks like they come in black or chrome.

Good news is that I finally fixed the trunk springs. the left one is fubar though, so I'll have to order a new one and go through that whole ordeal again. Seriously, that was a PITA to put those springs back on!
I think that if you let an E28 trunk lid with a spoiler free fall, they could amputate a limb that is hanging out of the trunk.

I'm gonna try to rally and get the M Coupe put back together tomorrow. Any suggestions on coating my wheels spacers with something so they don't weld to my hub on the first track day. I was thinking anti-seize, but my brakes get nuclear hot. Never used spacers before.

Yeah haha, he said he met you and you didn't mention your swapped car was gonna be a rally car.

I didn't know you had an e32 and you were using the motor for an e28, thats cool! In for pics when it happens. His car is cool, only reason im taking it and not my ix is for the extra room/doors (2 people coming with) and better gas mileage, 4.10s ftl.

I want to see how the iX is at sea level, but funny thing is i'll be driving his 535 at sea level before him!!:razz:

I've never had trouble with spacers at the track. They usually come right off. A dab of anti-seize around the hub bore is the most I would do. Don't put much on though, it gets thin when it's hot and makes a mess.

Oh yeah i guess I didn't mention that. Yeah I will be doing an M60 swap in my euro E28 one of these days, trying to part out the E32 at the moment. And E28s are awesome. You may fall in love.

you said rally....

Rally as in "rally the troops" or "muster the strength needed".....not "destroy collector car"
