    The most mysteriously lost tool?

    I'm always looking for 12mm sockets or wrenches for unknown reasons. I have a favourite Bonney 13mm box end wrench I bought quite a while ago at a used tool shop in New Hampshire. . Stresses me out when it is gone missing (and that Might be for months) Anyone else like Bonney tools?

    Simple Things that make garage time better

    Neat Boonies, I am assuming you replaced flourescent tubes with the LEDs? I have added a few over head LED lights and they are fantastic. Mostly my garage has flourescent tubes for lighting. For my sound system, I bought a FiOO Bluetooth DAC that is hooked into one of two stereo amps. I can...

    Simple Things that make garage time better

    Every now and then you re purpose something worth little and it is a hit....In my case it makes time lying on a cold cement floor under my car much more pleasant. I had an old Therma rest 3/4 length camp mattress and sewed a cover out of a piece of heavy duty Tarp I had lying around. The foam...

    Brass. Don’t try powder coating it as the solder will melt

    Opinions on Kmac adjustable strut mounts

    As I recall it was Adawil2002 who brought them to my attention. He reported much reduced tire wear vs camber plates. i suppose I’m also interested because of the price compared to OE upper strut mounts

    E9 front strut bearing replacement

    Hi Mike. Looks like quite a value at that price. Most recently to take my Forester struts apart, I went to Canadian Tire, where they have a free loan a tool program and used their spring compressor. Worked pretty well. As I recall I used that on the Mdx, and struggled with it. Wouldn’t do that...

    Camber/Caster Plates

    Noticed they have exchange subframes with what I am assuming is this same adjustable alignment kit installed. https://www.garagistic.com/products/e9-and-e10-adjustable-rear-subframe-conversion-2002-csl Is this a track specific kit , or of benefit to the average setup?

    Opinions on Kmac adjustable strut mounts

    Thinking of buying these Kmac strut mounts. https://k-mac-camber-kits.com/product/bmw-e3-front-cambercaster-street-191716-1j/ Of those running them, is the NVH similar to stock upper strut mounts? Are you pleased with their performance? Tia.

    E9 front strut bearing replacement

    Good work Boonies. WHat was the part number if you recall? I have had some tense moments with sppring compressors. The worst was trying to do the struts on our MDX. That is a pretty heavy spring. I think I had 4 seperate clamps on it. made sure to not hover my head over that.

    2800 CS differential or not?

    Going to see an E3 destined for the wreckers....requests?

    I have no affiliation with this guy, just saw he had a car on FB marketplace. I never drove down to see the car, as he did not have a part I was interested in. He asked that I let those who might want some parts to contact him at: [email protected]. He is about an hour outside of Toronto...

    Going to see an E3 destined for the wreckers....requests?

    I asked, he does not have lenses. Has good fenders, the front windshield has a wiper scratch, has good trunk and hood, and rear glass.

    Going to see an E3 destined for the wreckers....requests?

    I'd think a windshield would cost too much to ship from Ontario. I'll ask him about the taillight lenses.

    Going to see an E3 destined for the wreckers....requests?

    I don't have AC in my car, not sure I will ever put it in, but do you know if the E3 has AC parts that the E9 needs? From the one shot I did see of this E3, it looks unrusted in the front end, (MY E3 was all holes up front when I bought it in the mid 80's. )

    Going to see an E3 destined for the wreckers....requests?

    I'm going to check out an E3 next week. Don't have too many details, but it is going to be shipped to the crusher soon. I can post some photos. Anyone want anything in particular? I might buy the AC system and steering box for myself. Motor is sold.
