My realistic dreamcar I'd like to add next to the e3 and e9 is an Alfa Romeo GTAm replica, something like this:

I'm pretty sure you can do it wrong, there should be a mark on each part of the prop shaft that's supposed to line up when the two parts are joined together correctly. At least my prop shaft has markings, but I don't know if they're original, or from a previous repair and balancing. EDIT: Seems...

2) - Yes, but this was due to a brand new fuel tank that must have had overspray inside the tank from factory (I stupidly didn't check). After a while the fuel made the paint get soft and clog the screen. It's worth checking if you're having problems IMO.

With this one removed from the gearbox: Take a look into the hole on the gearbox where it came out, further in you'll see the worm gear on the output shaft. I suspect this is where the long screwdriver comes into play as Don explained, put the screwdriver into the hole behind the worm gear to...

I'm still searching for a pair of spacers. Been in contact with AKG motorsports a couple of times through the years, their spacer has been listed as out of stock since 2018 and a month ago they said that they won't ever make more of these, and they don't want to sell their CAD file either.

As you know I have a set of 139's, I still haven't had any time to think about these brackets and to be fair I don't think it will top the priority list for quite some time, and I don't have any other picture of the brackets other than the one you attached. So if you end up having these made...

Don't think there's any quick fix to that, but removing the pan isn't such a big project if you can get the car up on a lift. I recently replaced the gasket on our BW automatic gearbox (as you have). 24111203500 is the part# and BMW has it. What I think was the original gasket that I removed was...

My coupe was twitchy as soon as it wasn't on perfect asphalt. It's hard to describe the feeling, but it seemed to be all over the place and you couldn't take your eyes of the road for more than a second. Played with different toe settings, tried different wheels, went through the...

Yes that was painful to read, here it is: https://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/viewtopic.php?t=694683&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0

Yes, the exhaust manifold is watercooled. The engine has a heat exchanger for seawater/engine coolant. It also has a heat exchanger for seawater/oil, which according to the previous owner was a known problem on these, they started leaking internally = engine kaput quickly. Here are some pics on...

Optimize the halogen setup instead (wires, relays, better bulbs etc). LED in a halogen reflector will never work as intended. Are you interested in the kit just for how it looks (6500k), or because you hope to see better at night?

Yeah, the head gasket was stamped mid 90's, so I guess it threw a rod around that time or even earlier. No sign of oil leaks, and that's about all the block does around that area - keep the oil in. So the plate did its job for 25 years!

My dad found a complete -84 Marine M30 engine (also called B220) for cheap, so took it home to see if there was any good parts on it, and it has a great -84 head with deep dimples and hole for the fuelpump and some other small bits. But what I wanted to share is a nice feature on these B220's...

There are also other brands that made the Alpina-style 7x14" wheels. I have a set of BHR 7x14" made in 1982, and they're identical as far as I can tell, but I'm no expert.

Barry, do they really have to be CE approved? Are the stock ones CE approved? I put a Scroth retracting harness in my coupe, it's approved to some standard but don't think it has CE written on it. However, when I registered the car it needed to pass a registration inspection that's more or less...

Glad some of the shoddy work is covered with lots of butyl rubber, what you don't see doesn't exist, right? My work can be found pretty easily on this forum, but trolls barging in here these days doesn't usually care much about other members or this forum and the knowledge it contains in...

Oh come on, you're fooling no one. It's your description of your car that has no basis in reality. The photos show that whoever 'restored' the car didn't have much experience in restoring cars.

A very big thank you Stan for providing us with quality lenses!

Both, it seems. https://e9coupe.com/forum/threads/restored-2800cs-as-silver-red-restomod-almost-done.39037/
