I'm looking at buying a 2001-2006 BMW M3. If anyone has/had one...what do I need to look for, like service issues, warranty issues, little "quirks." Any thoughts/concerns would be appreciated... Thanks;)

Anyone using ARP headbolts, or studs for that matter, in our cars. Found out the hard way that they're NOT the same as the 86-7's... If so, where can I get them...how much? THX

I did a search first, and couldn't really come to my own decision....Here goes. I can get a 100 amp Chrome alternator for $95.00, or a 140 amp Chrome alternator for $125... The Question is...Which one should I get? Do I need 140 amps? I mean I do have a stereo pushing about 750-1000...

I have the turbo off, b/c of an oil leak in the drain line from it... The original hot-air oil return line is trashed, and I am trying to use the one from the intercooled cars...(yes, I cut the nut off) Here's my situation... I bought a new grommet from GM for the pipe to go into (the old...

I recently went to the junkyard, and got an ECM from an 88 delta...the numbers match up, I think...1227148...right? The question's I have are: The number on the calpak reads: 16036495... 1. I was reading up on this, and saw that the correct #'s are xxxxx503 or xxxxx504? Is this...

I've had enough of my car, and I don't know WHAT to do, WHERE to go, or WHO to see. My car is running like crap, and I just don't know where to go from here... I don't want to convert it to an 86-87 powertrain (although that's what I've been told to do), I don't want to add an intercooler...

I know that the adjustable fuel pressure regulator should be set at about 40-42 static...vac. line off...Well here's the stupid question: Is the car running or is it off when I set the fuel pressure? :rolleyes: Please be specific... Thx

Welp, after about 3 hours of screwing around w/ this thing, I finally got her on...just one damn problem :mad: I have a leak from the drain pipe coming out of the turbo...I REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY don't want to have to take this frikin thing back off again just to stick this pipe back...

When I install my new turbo this weekend, I need to know what type of sealant to put on the adapter. (ie - oil, RTV, anti-seize...whatever?) Please help me out...Thanks

Well, I don't know if you guy's remember, but I bought the car from an original owner in the summer of 2001, and drove it the first day, and blew the turbo...:( I talked to the owner about it, and he said he just installed it about 300 miles prior to selling it to me...well...I asked WTF? He...

In a previous post, i said that my car was overheating, and that I would check it out w/ Turbolink... Well...I did, and yes it is running those high temps...(210-230) with a 160 thermo. :eek: When I posted this before a couple of guy's mentioned upgrading to an LS1 Camaro radiator, but...

Lately, my car is running a little hot...it has a 160 thermo, and just driveing around town, I'm about 180, but if I get into it at all a couple time in a row...(at the local cruising spot) I'm at 200-210 for the rest of the time until I shut the car off and take a break for about a half hour...

Well, I just put my Adj. Fuel Press. Reg. on the car today, and set it on 42psi...put 5 gallons of 110 on the tank (it had 12 gal. of 93 already in it). I took it out for a spin, firewalled the gas pedal, and sure enough the boost gauge hit 22 psi with not a single l.e.d. on the knock guage lit...

I bought one at the Nats from Precision, and it didn't come w/ a box, or ANY directions. Now aside from the obvious, how do I set it, or know what it's set at now to make sure the car runs properly....for example: 1. How do I know what the new regulator is set at now (meaning I don't want...

The car is an '84 Regal, w/ 60,000 miles on the current engine...It's starting to buck and brawl off the line, but seems to run good at normal speed. I parked the car last night at the house, and what I can only describe as steam was coming from the exhaust. I talked to Dad, and he said for...

Sorry it took SOOOOOOO long to get the pics...the digital camera was broken, and I borrowed a CRAPPY one :( but I think you can tell the difference even w/ that one. :D I took me about 2 hours to get the pics, upload them, and name them, so take your time, and make sure you read what the...

Just got a kit while up in NY for vacation last week. I must say, that this has to be the coolest looking mod done to my car. The kit I bought is 6500K, and it's the purple kit just like the one on the honda S2000's. It set me back EXACTLY $437.00 The kit was $399.00, but with the NY state...

I recently bought an 85 Chevy Silverado with 32x11.50x15 tires on it, and the speedometer is NO WHERE NEAR correct...I was wondering if there was a calibration chart to punch in the numbers, and see what my actual speed was at...lets say...60 mph...is there any?!? I already looked at the TCI...

Where do I get them... I thought I saw them somewhere...and do are they specific for our cars? Thanks
