I’ll keep trying, my cheapo harbor freight magnet’s swivel head has gotten really loose and folds over with a gentle breeze making it pretty useless.
Now we’re talking, that looks awesome.

Man @galapolis, I know some of the stuff that gets passed/overlooked in most of the states is comically lax at times, but from what I’ve heard Sreten say in his videos and what you just wrote really...
Is there a creative way of retrieving something from the bottom of the DME/brake booster compartment abyss? I dropped one of the DME cover torx screws and can’t locate it even with the plastic heat...
18” 32s in correct offsets would look great. Pretty sure in the states 18” only came on the E38 with something ridiculous like ET12 offsets.
Love those wheels. Are they real 2piece like E39 Style 42s?
It’s reassuring to hear multiple positive firsthand experiences with Stabilus. If the only good option had been $72/ea. for OE hood struts I’d just drive around with a 4’ wooden dowel in the trunk.
That’s good to know also, because I’m going to need hood struts pretty soon. I’ll just assume they’d be the same as the trunk experience you had.
Awesome thanks, I know üro stuff is typically frowned upon so I was hesitant.
Anyone have experience with the Üro aluminum PS pump pulley? My pulley is cracked, that aluminum one is the same price on Amazon as a Febi plastic one from FCP.
Thanks, that confirms what I saw when searching the part number I got off RealOEM. That short section of flexible line on my car has a different texture than normal vacuum hose—it’s the same as the...
Does the vacuum line between the fuel pressure regulator line and F connector need to be something special, or will any vacuum hose be sufficient since it’s only fuel vapor and not direct fuel...
I got mine from Garagistic like 4 years ago and it’s been sitting on a shelf since. Looks like they still sell them. Not sure about the official part.
It should run fine without a tune, but I’ll need one for deleting stuff like the SAP/etc.. I know MS45 isn’t nearly as easy MS43, so I’m still doing some research. ByteTuner will be my safety net...

Update: it appears M7 grub screws do not exist on this planet, not even McMaster has them in catalogs, so the 2 removed studs will just go unfilled.
Did a lot of work on the wiring harness today,...
It runs to a tiny little motorcycle reservoir I got off ebay so the vent hole doesn’t just spray into the engine bay when it gets hot. I snaked it over to the empty stud on the driver side strut...
M50 Conversion Part 1
Long time no update. Not really worth wasting anyone’s time with the “why” of my absence, but I’ll definitely be getting back into regular usage of our beloved forum once...
Dropping things into the abyss is so frustrating!
While you have that apart let me ask you: are the metal spring clip doo-dads that hold the O2 sensor wires to the fuel rail all rusted up on your...
Okay sorry for the delay. I see 3 fine thread T30s
-2 below the throttle body facing upward
-1 to the right of the ICV, it attaches the bracket that holds the “sucking jet pump” thing on the...
Hmm, I’ll take a look in the morning and see if I can spot any hidden ones. Mine’s still off the car.
Did you remove any of the metal brackets that attach various things to the manifold? I took my manifold off the other week, the only place I remember encountering internal torx on mine were on the...
I wish I’d known NC doesn’t care about the metric speedo because it looks so much cleaner. I’ve gone back and forth over the years about whether I’d be willing to do the math on the fly, and if I...
Can confirm, despite being extremely cautious my needles were way off upon reassembly. Even after fixing all the others my temp needle is still comically wrong.
Well, I’m an idiot who can’t read a parts compatibility chart. The CX7 oil pan is the same as the Mazdaspeed 3, not the regular Mazda 3. It’s all the same 2.3L block, but the AC compressor is in a...
Silbergrau vert in Winston Salem afternoon traffic. Had an Outer Banks sticker on the trunk.
