What did you do to your E9 today?

I cleaned and rebuilt my 123 distributor with the @m5bb lathed shaft mod. I also took the electronics out to inspect for oil intrusion-fortunately none in there or in the bushing.

Nice coupe but man do those wheels look terrible...

Managed to not avoid a section of steel highway guard rail cable which bounced off a couple of cars before slapping my front air dam. Happened at “highway” speed and made a God awful noise. Thankfully, no damage to painted car surfaces, but the air dam will need minor repair, a repaint and another protective film.

Air dam painted and installed, protection film affixed. Going to run boy racer sans bumper for a bit.

Took her out for a spin around wine country recently. Had fun harrassing some modern machinery and thanked sweet baby Jesus for the two 'miraculous' saves. Wish i had a GoPro...

Dear Santa,

Looks great! Recommend putting the heavy tools in a tool roll or soft zip bag & not in the tool tray.

Thank You, I laminated metal to the broken ears so that area is strong , but with the weight of tools [not that I have a set] it would crack somewhere else, that plastic is just to old and fragile.

The new ones fail with all the tools in them as well.

thanks for the warning Andrew ... figured it was too good to be true.

I got the fuse sticker from @HB Chris and affixed it in the correct location.

It had not been cleaned since LOTA so I used the Griots waterless wash then covered for the winter.

 

[HB Chris]

You left the backing on?

whoops, that was the before picture.

I designed and test fitted a fuel rail for the triple Weber side drafts using Weber banjo fittings and some appropriately sized tubing. Never did like all the rubber fuel hoses and clamps much less the stainless steel web-wrapped hoses. Next up is to braze it and have it yellow zinc plated.
I'm using a Malpassi Filter King filter/pressure regulator mounted over the battery tray where I've mounted positive and negative distribution blocks and an auxiliary, contemporary relay/fuse box.

Most of you know that when I was at the Legends of the Autobahn the alternator in the coupe seized up. It was the luckiest bad luck I ever had. A couple hours earlier and I would not have been able to show my car. A couple hours later and everyone would have left and I would have been stranded. Thanks to @Ohmess and Tom Baruch my schedule was slowed bu only a few short hours!

Anyway, I found a place local to me who rebuilt the alternator with the internal regulator and boosted the amperage to 70 A - $175

 

[rsporsche]

my car went back to the paint shop ... so hopefully they will get their act together and finish the paint. Brendan got a lot of things done, but we have to find a few parts and get that work done. i need to get all of that finished so i can get on SFDon's schedule

Just unpacked my new SS Exhaust from Fritz. It's sooo beautiful, almost too nice to put under the car.

Merry Christmas to me!

 

[HB Chris]

Vince, That’s my Christmas present to myself as well! The stock system which is NLA will go on the Chamonix project.
