What did you do to your E9 today?

In the end it won’t win. Tree-specialist says the tree will only live for a couple of years. We’re planting a new one more to the left. That’s why the path’s made like this.
Wow, talking about trees on a car-forum, what’s the world coming to?

It's better than talking about Covid.

I bought a Fritz Bits exhaust system.
Probably be spring before I install

Just installed literally the 'missing link'....holy mother of god!

Was fun drifting around the 'hood until the rain said to park it

We're branching out...

We're branching out...

Should someone go to the "punitentiary" for this?

Took my Coupe for a drive to the beach. Beautiful day, +8C. Even the carburettors seemed happy at this cooler temp. Was a great drive.

That’s how much I’ve driven it this year. Easy to understand why these are so coveted, they drive so easily. Very civilized.

Loaded up a new curve to the 123 dizzy with more advance earlier in the curve a la @Stevehose. I still need to fine tune the MAP settings a bit but it’s running great, a tad more responsive even. Driving weather today, clear, sunny, mid 70s...glorious.

Started on the glove box renewal project. Drilled out the rivets holding the box to the frame and then did some sandblasting of the metal base.

Looks like a shortage of steering wheels

Trying to get another year or so out of my aging and haggard exhaust system so while beginning my engine project and pulling this off, I sanded, brushed and washed the old pipes, filled a small weld hole with JB Weld then painted with POR-15 high temp silver manifold paint. Stuff is amazing.

Steve,

I painted my exhaust system with a product hi temp product called 'Silver Bullet' (as I recall the name from 6 years ago - on further reflection, I think it was 'Rust Bullet'!). Looked just like yours when i got done. After installing and starting the engine , there was a lot of smoke from the downpipes, and the paint on them turned golden. Remainder of the system from the mid-muffler on back stayed silver over the remaining 4 years. Be prepared during early runs for the 'surprise' from the downpipes.

Good info. This is the same product, in a different color, that I used on my and a friend's exhaust manifold and it has held up nicely, hopefully this will do same. It is quite thick, I brushed it on. Anything is better than it was!

I painted my exhaust system with POR15 muffler paint at least 5 years ago and it has held up very nicely!

My old system is just starting to sound like I want it to.

 

[Stevehose]

That's another reason I want to keep it, it sounds great, I'm sure there is a lot less baffle going on inside it.

Cleared 6 months of packing material from the e9 (aka storage shed). Charging it up for the semi-annual neighborhood cruise.
