Great info.

For cruise you're basically running an E36 cable that you shortened?

Car is looking super sharp these days

I've got to say, I'm enjoying this daily dose of E39 content.

I had weird experiences with OBD2 P codes not really lining up with what INPA says. I don't really have any reason for this, but I usually trust INPA.

I feel like I've heard these two codes...

Do you have a laptop/cable with a working INPA install?

Wondering if you could match up the generic codes with the MS41 DTC that INPA or a BMW specific scanner would spit out (There are 35...

I love the S1K. Probably my favorite bike.



Unfortunately pants are the one piece of gear I don't wear while commuting, just because it's so damn inconvenient to wear a second...

I like this swap. I've never actually seen pictures of one of the volvo 5-cyls. I'm surprised with how stout they are, with the split crankcase and cam tray/valve cover combo.

It makes sense...

It sounds like the end is near, I'm sure you're excited to have it solid and all in one colour again....

I saw the car in his story yesterday I think. Is that going to be the last of the rust repair plan?

The car is looking really good in those pics....

If you do a standalone electronic boost controller down the road, I can't recommend the GFB G-Force III enough.
Not quite as convenient/adjustable as having it controlled by the ECU though (which...

The only direct replacement ujoint I ever found for the E30/E36 driveshaft looked much weaker, and the only person I heard of that used one had the same issue as you....

[Northern]

I would be interested to hear if you find some.
Failing that, grease under the piston boot when you do any sort of service around the wheels and it'll probably stop them from corroding and sei...

I would argue that the E46 Meyle HD are an upgrade. There's like a decade+ of forum posts saying they're more resistant to punching out and I've never heard anyone argue otherwise.

Should...

The EZ36 in the 3.6R doesn't seem to have head gasket issues. Not sure if they fixed the issue on the 4-cyls more recently, but it was definitely still a fairly common thing on the 2010-2014 gen.

I'm starting to look for a replacement for my 2012 Outback 3.6R (now at nearly 260k km and the trans is starting to slip) and my wife likes the current one so much that she seems hell bent on getting...

Nothing as exciting as Desert Narcos, but I had my site visit with my garage contractor this morning and he didn't seem phased by anything I want to do, so I'm taking that as a good sign.

I messed up the vid URL, should be under the pic now.
The looks really grew on me. I just wish the carbs weren't so finicky and the plastics/tank weren't so thrashed.

When I was going to school, I found there was dedicated motorcycle parking and more or less twisted that to justify taking the MSF and buy a bike.

Thinking I was sensible I bought a 2009...

Pic size is great, ARC8s and M Systems are both spectacular. They're the kind of things that make me want to go 5-lug....

I enjoy my cheap ebay LED reverse lights. No check/flasher that requires a resistor, and they throw a ton more light.

I like the idea of upgraded incandescent idea for the other lights though....
