  1. On a bike forum I attend regularly (thumpertalk), there is a guy who makes some really cool stuff out of CF. He pretty much took shit off his bike, made replacement CF parts (for fun?) and then posts ridiculously in depth articles about it.

    sorry for those without the facespace or mybooks

  2. Is it for sale?????

    I wish!!!!

    He just recently (before winter) got everything sorted out. It's finally tuned properly.

    Its got a few little things done to it, I believe the block is punched out a little bigger and appropriate carb tuning.

    Some suspension stuff too

  3. The heat cycling, loading, and environment were much much less harsh than if it were driven on the road. The only thing that can be fairly said is that Mobil 1 oil protects a piece of machinery being run for a long duration in a stable environment and that BMW designed an engine that operated for a long duration in a stable environment without failures or substantial wear.

    Not downplaying it at all, because its great novelty material for an engineer/bmw enthusiast, but the first person that posts an E30 on craigslist claiming "300k miles is nothin, these things go to 1million miles and are just fine" is going to get punted.

    true stuff.

    I'd love to see how long stuff would last just pinned on the limiter

    Oh and love cutaway videos like this:

    and here's some high rpm cutaway action

  4. It reminds me of Baja. There are some pretty cool stories about Baja racing in the early days. People trading oil/fuel/spare tires/water/parts etc. when they are broken down in the desert. I would love to find one of the articles about it I once read, my google skills are not yielding anything at the moment.

    I did get my "nice" car washed today which feels nice. The lines at the car wash were crazy long all day but I caught it this evening before it got too cold.

    that won't last long.

    winter sucks.
