What did you do to your BG(part 8)

[DuRWooD]

Yeah, it's crazy.. I probably won't be driving my 17mpg supreme drinking BMW much this summer.

Yeah, I can't wait to start driving my bg again. I've been driving my dad's ford ranger the last few weeks and it only gets 15 mpg. That really sucks with the gas prices the way they are.

Been lookin' for tires for the 323. Probably going to get the Hankook General Altimax RD for $49 each, 175/70-13. Last time I bought some for that car was in '08, I got 155/80-13, they were only $27 each.

I've been a slacker on doing any work. Mowed the lawn, did some maintenance on the tire machine, moved some stuff around. Been riding the SV when I can, can't beat nearly 50mpg. And the fun that 2 wheels gives.

[Wilyb]

went to the pick n' pull today, grabbed some more stuff from that EGT...

Kaleo, here is a pic of the seatbelts ...

Does anybody want an upper rear spoiler for a 323? there's one there... lemme know...

Bogaut, sorry dude... didn't forget about those moldings... I'll get on that this week... still want them?

My front coil over setup finally all arrived.



Only one side, obviously. It should be a decent drop and still maintain decent ride.

300lb 7in QA1 coil over, 4 inch uncompressed tender spring and conical upper.

Heh, maybe Saturday I'll get around to it,

[FE3-323]

^ part number for that??? & price?? that looks like a very decent system.

Sleeve and top hat were from eBay. They carry the name MaxSpeed on them. Look to be decent quality and for $22 shipped, I nabbed a pair.

I can't find just the sleeves anywhere on the net, but I guess I got a good deal. All the sleeve setups on summitracing.com where $25-80 a side.

Installed a new axle seal after ****ing it up at the track the other night. And hooked it up to the 5gas... LOL @ emissions testing. Yes I idle lean, dgaf.

[bogaut]

holy lean idle !

[Ace]

we also determined that its slightly off as far as A/F goes. I idle at around 17ish (yes, still lean, still dgaf) and another guy with a WB had about the same error factor comparing to his WB.

Put in some new NGKs today. I think my turbo exhaust outlet gasket is leaking, does anyone know here to get a new gasket, or have a dealer part number?

[FE3-323]

already ready to toss out the Ebay front springs. don't know how stiff they are. but i don't like em. they could serve to drop 50lb/inch rate or more easy.
Its not a horrible ride. but still harsher than need be

Finally fixed my valve cover leak on my 323. No matter what I tried before, it would leak. I found out that Permatex Black Silicone sealant along with a felpro gasket cured my problem. I tried other silicone sealants and different gaskets on my race car because it always has had this problem as well, but they all leaked. Now I gotta go do the same thing to the race car so that it won't leak anymore.

got my downpipe built. Car is surprisingly fast on only 7lbs. holset ftw.

I tried an OEM gasket, I'll never use an aftermarket POS again. and I didn't use any RTV except at the corners where you're supposed to.
