    Where did you get / How did you make your center radio bezel

    I found the ABS sheets for sale on ebay, I think they were 2'x2' sheets. There are online stores that sell ABS sheets. Answer: Exactly ;)

    Where did you get / How did you make your center radio bezel

    Not sure if this is what you are looking for, but I used ABS plastic and cut it to fit. One for where the ash tray was, and one where the radio was.

    F***

    Just call a lawyer, the will settle it with the insurance company. Bad idea to try to go one on one with an insurance company, they will not pay unless they are forced to, get a lawyer. /thread

    Question about water wetter.

    WW is only really effective when used with straight water. Like Grim pointed out, it breaks the surface tension of the water, allowing a better "contact" with the metal to transfer heat. If you are running a coolant mix, you will see little to no benefit. Coolant has additives that coat the...

    Mysterious Trans/Clutch problem. Now know what it is...R154 (new pics)

    The only way to actually know is to pull the trany, remove the PP, and inspect the clutch. PITA in your situation, but no matter what it is, you need to pull the trany.

    Mysterious Trans/Clutch problem. Now know what it is...R154 (new pics)

    If this was going on in one of my cars, the first thing I would think, was it's the clutch itself. Long time ago I had a clutch throw a spring, it would bang every now and then, and throw off the alignment of the clutch making it kind of wobble and vibrate badly. And on top of that the...

    Jimi's build update

    No real updates as I am working out of town for the next couple weeks. But I did get some pics of my hood vents painted and the screens installed. This hood will hopefully be gone soon, as I want to track down a CF hood and put these vents on it. But for now I have this:

    PCV system/ explanation and mod

    Thanks Nick. I don't recall the site that I read that info on. I would like to find out from a BMW owner that has this pump, how it works in it's intended state. My BMW does not have one. That's crazy, I never saw that thread! Looks like both of our research lead us to the same point. I...

    Jimi's build update

    Thanks Bernie. Those pics are from over 3 years ago, if you read on in the build, that set up has changed and was only there to start up the engine. Here is the most resent pic of the PCV system: Also look at this thread I started: http://www.supramania.com/forums/showthread.php?t=96628

    PCV system/ explanation and mod

    If you want to keep both the turbo intake and the intake manifold clean while using the stock setup, you would need a catch on both sides. But like dumbo said, most of your run time is under vac (non boost) so if you only want one, the one between the covers and the TB would filter out more...

    Those don't have anything to do with driving offenses, (but would be great none the less) But I would think they may come out with street racing plates?

    PCV system/ explanation and mod

    The orifice on the TB is after the throttle plate, meaning that when the throttle plate is closed, it is pulling manifold VAC. Air will not reverse flow in the IC, unless something is totally F'd up. You can put the catch between whatever you are trying to keep clean.

    PCV system/ explanation and mod

    There is a VAC port on that TB but you can't see it in that pic, but it is pre-throttle plate so it is being used for EGR VAC. The -AN fittings and pipe you see on top of the TB is the EGR plumbing;) And I had to drill and tap for that. EGR, another good thing to have for a happy engine;)

    Factory 86.5 turbo?

    Hum, I have an 86.5 turbo not swapped (production date: DEC 86), and I've always heard they never had them. The chassis code starts with MA70L-XXXXXX but the VIN does have MA71 in it and is 17 characters long. EDIT: NM, that makes mine an 87....brain fart...

    PCV system/ explanation and mod

    Well the belt pump will always pump air. It is a remote valve the switches the air flow, so no mod needed to the pump.

    PCV system/ explanation and mod

    Belt driven pumps, once the engine is warm, switch from pumping air into the exhaust to venting to the atmosphere. So an OEM belt pump might be a better choice for a DD.

    PCV system/ explanation and mod

    I did a little research on smog pumps and what they do. Basically they pump air into the exhaust ONLY during warm up, then shut off. This is to aid in helping the extra rich exhaust to continue to burn off the gasses. Once the engine is warmed up they are no longer needed. So the electric...
