I think the only drawback to Webers is you have to learn not to floor it when the rpm is low. Otherwise, I think they provide better performance than the Zeniths. After over 35 years of running with the Webers I don't even have to think about throttle modulation. I think Webers are easier to...

I owned a "Pig" for 15 years and can assure you the E9 is not a pig. The FJ55 Landcruiser is affectionately called a "Pig". Not so much because of its performance (which was not great until you got it off-road) but more so for its shape. After owning my 2800CS for 37 years I would not...

I had a 1973 FJ55 Landcruiser that required yearly rebuild or replacement of slave cylinders every year. After four years of this, I decided to try Silicone brake fluid. I did it the correct way by replacing all the rubber and flushing all the brake lines with alcohol. I ran that Landcruiser...

I think I have a coupe of the originals that I never did install. I am slow to do things like that. I still have a BMW ACA decal on my windshield.

It is obvious that driver has been around that track a few times. Looks like the driver did everything about a perfect as can be done.

The best oil additive I have ever use for my Austin Healey sprite SCCA race car is MPZ made by Torco. I run close to 15:1 compression ratio and redline at 8,000 rpm. I used to have to rebuild the engines after around 8 race week ends and the bearings were very worn. After I started using MPZ...

I need to top off my transmission. It only needs about 200 ml. It has been a long time since I added or changed the lube and don't remember what lube is suitable to use in there. The book says "Branded gear lube SAE80, no hypoid oil, or engine oils HD 30". It seems all gear lube oils can...

I recently had to replace the right outer tie rod. I started by going to Mesa Performance to obtain the part. I was told they are no longer available but another BMW model part will work. I think it was the tie rod for an E12. I was told it is different but has been used many times in an E9...

I forgot about this thread and never did follow up. I am now replacing an out tie rod and came across this thread while doing a search. The original steering problem was resolved by removing all the fluid in the reservoir and cleaning it out. I also replaced the old filter with a new one. I...

OK, Chris. Let me see if I can find it and I will let you know.

Chris, I molded a few and gave one to Murray used one for myself. I think I also sent one to someone else. I might have one left over from an initial test molding that is not perfect but is still usable. Let me know if there is any interest.

Would that be MoS2 grease? I don't think Molybdenum Disilicide has very good lubricative properties.

Sometimes, all it takes is cleaning of the contacts that activate the spring rewind. Some fine sandpaper remove the oxide layer very nicely.

I am guessing that is manual? If so I can take a look to see if I can find my old one that I replaced.

Great, I will PM that information to you.

If the radio picks up stations in the USA, I'll take it.

A 2000 TiLUX was almost my first BMW. I really liked that car but it had a dent in the driver side C pillar that bothered me. This car reminds me of it. A friend had one for a few years but was afraid to drive it because of the scarcity of parts for it.

I like a lot of John Mayer stuff. If he is doing only The Dead music, it should be great. To far for me to go see it though.

Ron, if that ? is for my post, you would understand if you were Mike. Its all about meeting too take a look at his parts.

Mike, sorry I could not make it back in the afternoon. Let me know when you will be there again and I will give it a try again. Gary
