    Finishing School for a Fjord 3.0 CS / 100 projects to improve a Coupe / Countdown

    Amazing work Paul. I think I saw that Maserati at Amelia Island years ago, it has the super cool Weber carbs with the mini trumpets for the idle jet circuit in between the regular trumpets.

    The rims are somewhat dingy after years of brake dust etc. embedding in them. If I weren't putting tires on them I would not bother repainting but it's easier to do so when tires are off.

    Here is a before and after of the tires from cleaning and application of Tufshine: The satin finish brings out the subtle details - they ooze uber-period looks and I’m excited to get these on. Meanwhile, the alpinas got a bath and await the paint stripping process that begins tomorrow:

    What did you do to your E9 today?

    Maybe it's coincidence, but also since doing this my temp gauge never wavers from 185, winter or heat of summer with or without a/c on.

    What did you do to your E9 today?

    Ever since I used @sfdon 's tip on drilling a small hole in the thermostat at 12 o'clock I haven't had to do any bleeding procedures other than a quick bleed screw opening right when the thermostat opens, including the hose in the air technique, which works great otherwise.

    Selector rods needed

    Sorry Hal, no luck so far, I don't think I would have the later version anyway.

    Antenna Delete

    I like having an antenna as it's part of my car's "look" but if I were getting bodywork done I would relocate it to the driver rear quarter and angle it back 30 degrees or so.

    Which side do the differential/half shaft bolt curved 2-hole brackets go?

    Exactly, this is what tipped me off to my previous error.

    Which side do the differential/half shaft bolt curved 2-hole brackets go?

    Thanks guys! @Larry Louton I had the same problem as you. I think depending on the kits used to rebuild the half shafts dictate which bracket will fit. I rebuilt mine 13 years ago and had the original ones on the wrong end because they wouldn’t fit otherwise. Then when I swapped diffs I noticed...

    Which side do the differential/half shaft bolt curved 2-hole brackets go?

    I seems RealOEM has them on the diff side, the manual has them on the half shaft side, do they do below the bolt head or the nut?

    How does the turn signal canceling ring stay in place?

    the ring presses on the steering column, not the wheel. When you pull the wheel off the ring stays in its place. Not sure if that is the correct one though.

    Painfully expensive but I don’t want to look at modern tires for the next 7 years after doing so much work this past year. They were just under $400 each delivered here in USA.
