CMart Posted December 15, 2014 Report Share Posted December 15, 2014 Yes Do these still have the oil pump bolt falling out issues? A guy at work just got a 93 740iL and we need to check it because its common for the oil pump bolts to drop out until self destruction happens. Once the pump gets loose oil pressure is lost. If you haven't changed the oil yet it could be the wrong viscosity too. Sent from my potato phone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rampelsauce Posted January 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2015 Yes, the box is getting wonderfully full. Edit: Getting my 18's mounted/balanced next week. Test fits soon, and will be broadcast here. Also, working on a deal for some snows. Picked up a new washer pump to replace my faulty one.

rampelsauce Posted January 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2015 Snows installed, on car, kickin' ass. So, I didn't get my 18's mounted yet because I'm trying to figure out what color to power coat them. Bronze with a black lip? Black with a bronze lip? Hmmm. I photoshopped a crappy picture of bronze with a black lip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rampelsauce Posted January 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2015 I really like the bronze color though. Here's a sample piece I did. It's a bike hub. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B C Posted January 18, 2015 Report Share Posted January 18, 2015 Yeah i think that would look nice, all the same color though, no black/silver/purple lip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rampelsauce Posted January 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2015 Yeah i think that would look nice, all the same color though, no black/silver/purple lip If I don't sell them, I might keep the polished lip and do the centers bronze.

rampelsauce Posted January 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2015 It got cold so I stopped snapping pictures. No more scuba tank. Sounds pretty damn good. Throaty under load, huge difference. I'll post some post op pictures and a video with some sound. I posted an instagram video of the exhaust before I patched it, so follow me @rampelsauce.

rampelsauce Posted February 8, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2015 So my passenger side front window regulator got all messed up at the Gefrorenfahrt. I had to drive all the way home to Port Washington with the passenger window open. So I parked it in the garage because I didn't feel like messing with it til today. So here's what happened. So I took my factory tool kit and fingers and put the cables back in their little tabs. FIXED! So now I don't have to worry about it ever again! Unless, that is, I decide to roll the window down. This is a spring to do list item. PS:Don't bother clicking on the thumbnails. They are huge and out of focus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rampelsauce Posted February 8, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2015 Nope, it was 2/3 of the way down all the way home. Good thing it was pretty warm out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rampelsauce Posted February 8, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2015 So I decided that I should clean out my cabin air filters and do some cleaning up under the hood while I was in there. I cleaned out the cabin filters/housings and cleaned out my air box as well. I removed the intake silencer as an experiment, see what kinda sounds it makes without it. I may just go ahead and replace my windshield washer pump while I'm at it. Also, I left my key in position 1, so my battery is dead. My girlfriend is out and about, so looks like I'm stuck at home today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B C Posted February 8, 2015 Report Share Posted February 8, 2015 At least this year the dead battery happened AFTER the ice event rampelsauce 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
