Yeah, me too. The plate came up while I was searching around on the Maine Dept of State website, and I asked about it at town hall. Anyone can get one for any passenger car- ridiculous. And given the parking situation in Portland's Old Port...
Gimme one!
I'd say go for it then!Quote:

Does anyone here have an oil temp gauge or otherwise log their oil temperatures?
As some of you know, I threw an M3 cluster in my ZHP. I've noticed that my oil temperature gets quite high when I'm booking it through one of my favorite local routes. Looks like it's getting to somewhere around 250-260º when I push it.
Seems a bit high, no? Under more normal driving it hovers right around 210º, but I would think the car should be able to handle aggressive street driving; it's not like it's being stressed out like it would be on a track.

My owner's manual doesn't list the cooling system capacity. I see ECS Tuning's refresh kits come with 1 Gallon of concentrate. Once mixed with 1 Gallon of distilled water that provides coverage for 2 gallons of cooling system capacity, or about 7.5L. I saw a post on a forum that said the systems capacity was 8.5L. Do I need to buy 2 gallons of concentrate? Thx!
No.
Seems high, but I wouldn't know. Our engines don't have an oil cooler as far as I know, so it's not surprising if the temp rises a bit.Quote:

Are the brake bleeder valve/nipples supposed to be different sizes? My rears are 9mm but the fronts were smaller. I used a 5/16" wrench and it worked. The calipers say BMW. :dunno

Mine were all 9mm if I remember correctly.
While on the topic of brakes, what's the go-to caliper of choice? OEM? Rebuilt caliper? have a squeak in my left front caliper and I'm fairly certain the piston is seized
Hey guys. Strange noise coming from engine bay...squeal at startup ...seems to be one of the pulleys or tensioners...any ideas? Increases in pitch when revs increase. Here's a video https://vimeo.com/157958751
Any ideas as to the best kit to rectify this? Belts are less than 40k old...thanks
Eta. Would it be okay to drive until I get parts in?
