Replaced the pulleys. Recent rain and humidity had them squeeking. Went to a Pick a Part junk yard with my younger son yesterday looking for 6 or so items. Was his first time and my 1st in 20 years....

Excuse or enjoy the puns.. With most any type of purchase, tires or else, the driving factors still fall under REAL needs vs. wants or a combo of the two. With the current tires prices being a little...
The story of ownership answers your questions regarding the condition and does not include an "enthusiast". Presentation points to an inexperienced seller. One weekend of deserved care and < $1000 in...
Alignment done and finally gat it some cosmetic love, polish & wax. Looks as good as it can sans repaint where needed.
Had some fun taking a few pics today, 1 below.

Yes, I replaced with Genuine Bosch sensors in the top of the exhaust manifold. I haven't tried the MAF sensor swap yet.
I pivoted over to the coupe's rear suspension. Under the guidance of the...
Installed the below yesterday.. But 2 rookie questions for you guys..
1. Of the two pics, which way has the damper attached correctly on the bottom?
E36 M3 (Sachs) dampers, bump stops, as...
Great thread!
My use case: 2004 ZHP Coupe 138K. RTABs are shot. Their replacement is leading to the replacement of the rear dampers-->mounts-->stops.
Driving: Street and possibly a little track...
COUPE: Oil pan gasket and related o-rings, motor mounts, steering coupling/guibo thing replaced. YEA! NO LEAKS! :)
Now.... More fixing... Broken overhead panel (roof switch, mic) gets replaced....
Agreed. With my sedan exceeding 200K miles, I felt it smart to get a backup. And what's better to backup a beloved ZHP than another!
Today the coupe gets a new roundel for the hood.

New OFH gasket, proximal sensors, Vanos oil line, and new expansion talk installed and reassembly completed. DONE!
While it was on stands, I replaced the FCABs. Pittsburg 3 prong puller served its...
Yes.. and then there are the proximal items that you might as well replace while you're in there. ex. VANOS oil line..
Vas - Spot on.. Oh how we know our cars.. I have a new Genuine BMW tank...
Hoping to eliminate the need for an oil drip pan. Fix #1, certainly within my capabilities below.

Several years back, I was looking to switch brands for my automotive pleasures. I had been having so much fun with Miatas, yet decided for practicality reasons to change it up. RWD still, but with a...
With product models and small manufacturers getting phased out, what are the current opinions? If possible provide brand and model.
Having fun with the milestone readouts.. Bought in April 2017 with..

Although several $K in repairs/deferred maintenance, oh and a transmission replacement, I have loved driving it as a...
FWIW - I was 2nd in line of many and was on the phone with him 27 minutes after he had listed the car. I told him that I wanted the car sight unseen, but he had already committed to guy #1. Aside, he...
Unfortunately, the buyer was not an ZHP enthusiast. Instead of keeping the gem, he/she/it relisted @ $14K.
Yea, I stand corrected on the VIN statements. My apologies.
Nice car, regardless.
A few thoughts:
1. From the list, it appears obvious. VINs with KM are sedans, PJ are coupes and PV verts
2. I feel a better tell is the line above it S760 High Gloss Shadow Line. I believe this to...
Would it be a good idea to add "SOLD" in the title?
Ciao fratelli,
There was only 1 reason why I would put my ZHP up for sale. To get a ZHP Sedan 6 Speed. Turns out a friend is selling his and I decided that want it, but can't justify having two....
Ok. patience and input appreciated!
Now, if I replace mine with this, what is a quick number for a 2004 ZHP sedan auto, 191K miles (60 on trans), roof leather, $1000's in preventive maint in the...
Grazie fratelli!
I will inform my associate of the options/methods to sell. It just comes down to the amount of time he wants to invest to sell vs. ultimate sale price, if I don't make him an...
