    Luigi @ Velocity Invitational 2023

    Enjoyed that video! Great run with your friends. Your friend in the yellow Z was rather fortunate not to gather you up in that T11 excursion he made.

    NMNA- 3.5ltr Motor

    Whoa, this looks pretty wild. Appears to be a fabricated dry sump oil pan with oil scavenging pump and lines. It’s meant to be installed upright like an M88/1 by what I’ve seen. the sheet metal fabricated intake manifold/ plenum has its roots in drag racing, and that thought further bolstered...

    Are your sons & daughters or nieces / nephews into cars?

    i have two daughters and three sons, now all adults ranging from 40 to 32. Both girls view cars as primarily driving appliances. Not that I didn’t try, mind you. But all three sons took to cars from a tender age, and continue the car nut tradition in my family. I have to say my father...

    Schnitzer Green Monster

    IMSA, I’m curious as to which chassis your B3 is, as well as the motor and cam she’s running. Sounds like the ponies really like to run! I believe once you get an M30/M90 cam into durations above, say 315 degrees, and Lobe centers get closer, you quickly lose vacuum signal at idle/low revs...

    Schnitzer Green Monster

    Thanks for the translation, Keshav. Lots of details in that document that were lost to me before this. Based on the starting enrichment, and street manners described, that Schnitzer engine sounds like a pretty highly strung, big duration cam beastie- revving to 7200 with Kugelfischer...

    16 inch Alpina wheels - are these copies any good?

    I’m running a staggered set of 16” Maxilite wheels, purchased in late 2021 from ebay. They have performed well and look good. There are detail differences between the Maxilites and Alpinas. Most noticeable is the added ring around the OD of the inner black painted hub portion, presumably to...

    What did you do to your E9 today?

    It’s been a long time since I’ve posted here. But I’m still driving my hotrodded ‘73 coupe and have been enjoying it. Just returned from taking a rip in the old girl -that’s what I did today. since last fall, I’ve removed the CSL wing, roof hoop, and front air dam, providing a bit of an...

    New Air Dam for the Coupe

    Vince , The airdam was worth all the tweaks and effort... Really sweet. and those BBS RS mesh wheels are superb looking on the coupe. The low, front 3/4 views really float my boat... she's got a great stance. Doug B

    Hotrodded Coupe Project

    Hello All, I thought I would post an update as to the progress of my Hotrod Coupe. Since I last posted here, I sucesfully "dialed in" the three Webers by playing around with the idle jets and their air bleed holes. I ended up buying a set of number drills and sequentially enlarged the...

    Hotrodded Coupe Project

    Hello Decoupe, The bellows was included with a steering wheel hub extension. It is an aftermarket part for sure. I believe I got both the extension and the bellows from Momo, but that was back in 2002- I don't believe I have the reciept for it to tell you where it came from. I used a Momo...

    Hotrodded Coupe Project

    I constructed the wing from a model airplane foam cored wing blank, with balsa and carbon fiber spars nested within it. The ends of the wing are made from 1/4" plywood , and have maple epoxied in there to support accept heli-coils. The wing is held on with four 1/4-20 bolts passing through...
