Rekpoint Posted February 25, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2018 Got some measurements on the bavsound sub enclosure. I may start throwing one together. If it turns out nice I may start producing them for order depends tho.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rekpoint Posted March 2, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2018 Before I get ripped on... Yes I know.... I need a wash... Streets where I live hold sooooo much water. I give it a wash and by the time I get home it looks like this again. Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaiserRolls Posted March 2, 2018 Report Share Posted March 2, 2018 I’ve washed my car 3(?) times in 4 years. You’re fine SteelBlue, P_Roloff, m42b32 and 1 other 1 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’re fine I can top that, I haven’t washed my daily in at least two years, although I did hose off the underbody once. Part of the problem is that it’s 18 feet long though, not worth the effort.

Rekpoint Posted March 3, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2018 First local Cars & Coffee is April 14th. That means I need to bust ass to do a bunch of things. Spring break starts week after next so nothing will be happening then. Going to be ordering a BUNCH of parts later today.To do list.Get midpipeGet m3-fogdeletes paintedSandblast/refinish/get tires mounted on style 32sDo shifter bushingsMount dinan exhaust + midpipeMishimoto rad + expansion tankMount m3 bumper on car+Minor things like polish out my corner tails and sides. Mount new clips on m3 bumper.All going to be done within 4 weeks hopefully. Sadly the dinan exhaust will be on the bottom of the list due to me doing it with the shifter bushings.

Rekpoint Posted March 9, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2018 Hahahaha. Big coolant puddle under my car.... Cant get the expansion tank open for the life of me. Im lucky I didn't overheat today because my radiator is officially FUCKED. Good thing I am leaving EARLY on Saturday for spring break. I have a rad on order so ill have a bunch of parts when I get back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B C Posted March 18, 2018 Report Share Posted March 18, 2018 Whats in the smaller mishimoto box, that overflow tank? Or an intake boot? I have the mishimoto intake boot.

Rekpoint Posted March 18, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2018 Coolant level sensor seems to be melted. Bought a new one. My rad looks fucked tho. Surprised I never overheated. Going to be buying a new guibo to install while I put on my exhaust/shifter bushings. Should I go OEM or get an upgraded one? I want to auto-X this summer if that makes a difference.Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B C Posted March 19, 2018 Report Share Posted March 19, 2018 No, dont get an upgraded gIUbo (named for its creator Giunti Boschi, not gUibo like guidos).The engine produces power in pulses. The giubo is one of the components that helps smooth these pulses out. The urethane/solid alum. giubos seem like a good idea only for drift/drag where you are kicking the clutch and have other driveline upgrades. Get a stock rubber one. Genuine BMW isnt even a requirement IMO. Im not sure what brand I bought 6 years ago but it has held up fine to some launches and hard driving at ~double the stock power.I had a chance to replace it yet again during my engine swap but it still looked new so in it went.

B C Posted March 19, 2018 Report Share Posted March 19, 2018 I ordered a Uro ICV hose and was speedily rebuked. You may want to consider Meyle if you arent going genuine BMW on this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P_Roloff Posted March 19, 2018 Report Share Posted March 19, 2018 Yeah I’d vote Meyle or Febi for a non OEM giubo, I buy mostly Febi when I replace bushings and rubber stuff and I haven’t had any issues at all. Rekpoint 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rekpoint Posted March 19, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2018 Starting to think about what color I am going to be painting/powder coating my style 32s.Right now this is what I am thinking WhiteBronzeSilverGoldBlack Here is a pic of a steelblue E36 with white wheels. I'd like everyone's opinion. In addition I plan on installing lowering springs this summer. Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B C Posted March 19, 2018 Report Share Posted March 19, 2018 I personally am not a fan of the white wheels but you would probably want to replace all your brake pads with a compound that doesn't dust severely I'd be very interested to see how a darker metallic blue would look for the wheels, giving the car a two-tone color scheme. perhaps a color like this Rekpoint 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gumbo As for wheel color, If it were my car I would do an oem style silver. Partly because I'm boring, but also because its a great/clean look when paired with a reasonable ride height and some meaty tires: A really metallic graphite color could look pretty good too, for a more aggressive style than plain silver Rekpoint 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P_Roloff Posted March 19, 2018 Report Share Posted March 19, 2018 I vote OEM silver as well, I've always felt that style 32's in particular look kinda ricey in gold/bronze/white. The silver looks so clean and gives the car an OEM+ kinda feel. Not too tame, but not crazy either. Gunmetal wouldn't be bad, I really like this two-tone look: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunMetalGrey Posted March 19, 2018 Report Share Posted March 19, 2018 Can we put in a system where if you hit "submit reply" on a post and it finds "Uro" in your post this banner pops up? YoungCR 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
