    The most mysteriously lost tool?

    And I thought I was the only one losing these... While we're on the subject, the Snap-On version of the 1/4" drive 10mm swivel was a great discovery. Short swivel pivot point such that it works in many tight spots where others "clunk" and resist turning 360 deg as you torque. Worth the...

    Big warning on Cohline fuel hose. We are replacing all Cohline 2122 we have installed.

    For those of you using the Gates Barricade, how is the 8mm I.D. hose fit? The original spec is 7.3mm I.D. for "8mm" hose for a correct, tight fit.

    Consolidated Notes: E3/E9 Headlamp Washer System

    I have installed 3 such systems in E9, E3 and E21 (different hardware but same functional logic). You can see some pics of the system components prior to installation on post #76 here: https://e9coupe.com/forum/threads/76-3-0-si-introduction.10146/page-4. Post #1 of this thread shows a couple...

    Tool kit as an extra option?! Was the importer playing fast and loose to raise a few extra $$ on each sale...?

    Big warning on Cohline fuel hose. We are replacing all Cohline 2122 we have installed.

    If you are using Cohline, 2240 would be my suggestion. It is rated up 100% methanol/ethanol, maximum temperature of 125 C, short term to 150 C. I've used it on several cars for several years now with no degradation while always using 10% ethanol. The smallest bend radius (70mm for 2240)...

    Consolidated Notes: E3/E9 Headlamp Washer System

    Hi Philippe, The power (+) for the washer pump motor is routed and delivered to the pump from the right side headlight wiper motor. There is a rotating cam inside the motor which acts upon an electrical contact for the washer motor +. It's the blue wire, I believe, from motor to headlight...

    Our friends coupe was stolen yesterday….

    Looks interesting. Don't see USA coverage (here) even in the upgraded model (208 Euro) Do you have one? It appears it has to be sent back to the company (in DK?) to have the battery changed. And the highest frequency of tracking is every 10 minutes.

    Our friends coupe was stolen yesterday….

    When I was researching this a few months ago, I thought this device, the LandAirSea 54 would be the best combo of affordability and capability; far more capable than the AirTag but at the cost of a monthly plan (starting at $10/month). Although I have no personal experience with it, the battery...

    Hey Steve, this handy little tool can be found all over the interwebs but illustrates a simple concept you could MacGyver at home.

    E3 Lookalike?

    I really enjoy hearing the perspective of home market guys Cristoph and Krzysztof about the car in back in the day. The classic cars for me are a time machine to somehow be immersed in an era I wasn't part of but have an interest in. Thanks guys.

    Steve, looking good! Do we feel a lockplate to be necessary? If you or someone has the CAD file for that Sendcutsend could likely laser cut 20 of those for a few $$ each...

    Import fees rant

    Breiti, you have to customs and tax even if the package you receive was sent from inside the EU? What if it is sent from Germany?

    Marketplace golf CSI in mid west

    Counterpoint: I've listed 2 cars on BAT, both RNM and both sold to an underbidder for appreciably more than the RNM. Not every potential buyer is consulting BAT every day. Seven days to me has always seemed brief for what can be considered a 'specialty' car.
