  1. I like that rear valance, is the exhaust cutout centered or offset? On Mike Ramsey's car we made the exhaust come out centered which was a bit tricky. Sent from my potato phone

    It is offset 2"

     

    No pics yet. I have some time today and will be out in the shop.

    I looked center but I will check later this afternoon. If I remember correctly it looked modified a bit in that area. I will take some better pics too. Shame on me for not even cleaning it up a bit. 

  3. I do not have much progress to update here.....

     

    The Seta has been giving me shit...

    And a BBS rear valance

    I also found a front valance in hellrot (no pics)....I am going to paint that black and install. The front IS spoiler will cover it but black is better that red on a cosmos car. I will get it painted professionally when I do the skirts and rear valance.

     

    More to come......

     

     

  4. I thought about leaving the group but it is fun to watch. This is JUST a facebook page and not a forum. I don't understand the censorship but have seen it myself on many times. I could express my true feelings here but someone may read it and ban me from the page therefore depriving me of my morning dose of humor. 

     

    There are a few good questions that come up but most are a joke. I remember someone commenting that he could not believe some of these people actually work on their cars. I LMAO on that one and could not agree more. I think that one may have been deleted. 

     

    I should stop now. I do not feel good and this is not helping.

  5. If they do go ahead with the latest logo which resembles ours closely this could be fun. 

    I wanted to send him a PM asking him what he has done to his BMW besides replacing his CCV after polling everyone in the group about it.  Meanwhile we actually build some cars over here lol.  Just to see if I was mistaken about the caliber of discussion I scrolled through the last few pages of posts. 

     

    Basically:

    trade me wheels,

    my engine is broke I have no money,

    buy my overpriced car that I only joined here to sell,

    my car smells terrible how can I locate a gas leak it goes away while driving,

    I need this part used because obviously another 12 year old smog hose is going to be in fantastic shape and they are so expensive,

    Buy my wheels I am not sure what they fit,

    dang these e36 bottlecaps didn't fit my 5er,

    I might LS swap my perfectly functioning e46 even though I wouldn't know where to begin,

    dang my exhaust fell off.

     

    Pretty awesome.

    In a nutshell....well done :)

  6. From what I've read I think those are the only non-medium case diff cars too. Glad to see the progress! Hopefully we can park next to each other in the spring :D

    I still have your fenders and hood. I have not made my mind up on the moon roof though. Are you still interested? I have been thinking of that harness more and more these days.

  7. Glad to see an e28 on the road. Do all e28s have medium case or are some large case diffs?

     

    As far as I know only the M5 and the M535 have the large diff.

     

     

    So you scrapped both the white and the blue e28s?!

     

    I only sent the white one to the yard. It had all the goodies to put on the 535 nearly rust free "cosmos". The 528e SETA(the one pictured above) is the winter beater. I am driving that baby into the ground. $500 eight years ago and still going. Better than a Timex! 

     

    Need a super eta brake booster?! I'm ur man!

    I am going to do the switch when the 528e is parted. Hydro boost is okay as long as it does not leak. The setup I have now has been rebuilt and leak free. 

     

     

    Merry Christmas Eve Eve :)

  8. Way to many things to list. I want to get it running soon but I am not in a hurry. Now that I have the room I need to give the 528e "Niles" some TLC. I plan upper control arms, diff mount and CSB just to keep it riding well. I have all the parts so it's just a matter of time. I just picked up a set of 15" BBS style ?? with really good tires. It rides like a totally different car!

  9. I finally got my package out today. I am usually on top of these things but the last two weeks have been crazy. I paid a little more to ensure Christmas delivery and I am sure the recipient will have a smile on Christmas morning :)
