Dunno, I had a nail in a pretty similar place on my F30. Goodyear place said it had to be replaced but they didn't sell the Bridgestone's so I went to an NTB. That guy said no problem to patch.

Not really what I did today but what I will be doing on Sunday.....
I will be making the trip up to New Hampshire where I will be rebuilding a fellow Mafia member's ZKW headlight assembly restoring his lighting using OEM M3 AL projector assemblies. Pretty much the same way I rebuilt Botond's and my headlight assemblies. I have been waiting two years to help this member so I'm guessing his lighting is really bad....stay tuned for pics of his severely burned out projector bowls....I would expect to see them seriously cracked....
Mine are pretty bad as well. I'll hopefully be fixing the problem within the month.
These tires that could have been plugged. Like said previously. Takes 5 min
Mafia helping mafia. :mafiaQuote:

Yeah, having you, Jeff, and Kyle (Ryan's Kyle) there to help really boosted my confidence to tear into my engine like that being far from home. It was an awesome experience to be at the reunion meet, having my car parked inside Dane's garage doing this sort of maintenance.Quote:

It was a very relaxing lunch break and I'm ready to knock off some work this afternoon.... it was a vey stress-free day at work today ;)

Yesterday I noticed my wheel was turned just a tiny bit to the right when the car was going straight, so I turned both adjusters 60 degrees to the right. Today the steering wheel seemed pretty straight. But I don't know how much total toe-in I have.
Then finished swapping in new 82mm wheel studs. Prior to accident, I had swapped studs on 3 wheels but not the 4th. Now all the wheel studs match!
Want to go back to softer (440/550 lb/inch) springs on the ZHP but the E36 is not track ready yet.
