Wanted, does anyone know where I can get part numbers 54318397662 and 54318397661 which are the rubber parts that attach to the hood? The window pinches up against there to stop wind noise and water etc. I can only find them in Germany for EURO 133 per piece. If there is a full kit for all the...

I have a friend that has a vinyl sticker printer, it can do anything! I am wanting to put on some decals and am looking for ideas. So far all I can think of is ------ROADSTER ------ in gold lettering on the sills but I also want some ideas for the rear wheel guard to protect from stones...

I haven't been too active on the forums for a while. One of the reasons is I am building my new shed! It will be 12m x 7m with 4m eaves. This is because I will be installing a 2 post hoist in bay #3. I don't really know what I am doing but I have a friend lending me his equipment and expertise...

I wasn't paying attention and missed the 200,000Km 000.0 but this is close enough. :) I managed to get the 123,456 789.0 I have a 2001 3.0i in Oxford green 2. Anyway, once I get the shed and hoist in some preventative maintenance is likely to be done. GC

Been eyeing off this beauty. Unfortunately the wife said BUY IT, I was kind of hoping she would shoot me down so now I am really taking a close look at her. MY2009, E89 35i, auto, black on white, 41,000klm, AUD$37,000, sold by a dealer...

I was browsing through the used car sales sites when I can across a car advertised as a ///M. It was advertised by a dealer. All they did was throw in a S54 into a 2.8TU and a dif gearbox [and absolutely nothing else was changed] and they are selling it for AUD$44,000 claiming it is a unique...

I just replace both front tie rods and I can hardly believe how much better the car handles! It is better than replacing all my stuffed shocks [dampeners] and rear sub frame bushings combined! Steering is perfect, like a new car, no more looseness, noisy during minor road bumps, and tram-lining...

A friend of mine has modified his Nissan 370Z with a part similar to what I have in the picture below. You can open or close the valve at will by the press of a remote button - and it sounds awesome! It is kind of like open headers [one for each side near the rear of the car]. It is louder, but...

The joints in my fingers were getting really sore, almost unbearable actually, in my left hand. They hurt when used in a sideways motion such as brushing lint off clothes, smoothing out the bed sheets, washing hair, etc. Finally resolved the issue. It was caused by using the indicator on my...

Hi! The wife and I will be doing a 7 day cruise out of Tx starting on the 28th October 2018. We then plan on visiting a few key areas before heading back to Aussie land. I can spend about 3 weeks there. So, what do you guys recommend? I will be going to Sweetwater Tn for 2 days as that's...

Attached is a procedure guide I made when fixing the water leak issue. I was getting water coming in onto the carpet near the tunnel where the passenger feet are. It mainly happened when washing the car or when I was stationary. It was actually caused by a break in the rubber seal between the...

The University of Tasmania Car and Motorcycle Society has a few events every year. Last weekend we went from Hobart to the Great lakes taking the windy country roads. We had about 14 people in this run. We set off for the historical town of Bothwell at about 12 PM. In front was the society...

I don't know a lot about alignments and such but see below a scanned report from my 3.0i with lowered ///M sports suspension as she went in. The front has been corrected but as you know the back cannot be tampered with easily. Any comments are most welcome. Look at the dif between the L and R...

Well Gaz just posted a new article https://zroadster.org/articles/basic-bmw-z3-suspension-modifications-by-mike-fishwick.41/ and damn, now I am convinced I really NEED [I told the wife I need it but really want it lol] a body and butt brake combo! Now to start saving.... Anyway, I cannot see...

Can someone please advise what torque is required to remove the 2 x lower bolts that hold the front strut onto the wheel hub? I ask because I would like to do this job myself and I want to buy and use an electric corded impact torque wrench to do it [I don't have air]. I also need the actual...

Looking for specific advice from people that have done the work! Tell me as much as you can please! My suspension is getting bad, real bad! Went to RealOem and get part numbers etc only to find that Ebay sellers of quality stuff often advise the parts aren't suitable. The more I read the harder...

For those of you that have been wondering if that can be done.... I had some pretty deep scratches in the back window, partly my fault and the rest from the previous owner. I got most of them out with about 80% improvement. Following the mantra of 'use less aggression as possible' I used a 3...

Can someone please assist me with the following, I can't seem to find good instructions and trouble shooting tips on these adjustments. Comments or links welcome on the 3 issues. I would rather pull the dash out then attempt these things, it is one of those things I find hard to grasp! I have...

I notice when I am driving along that there seems to be a slight breeze of cold air [it is winter here] from under the driver's seat, even when the heater is on. The components under there are REALLY cold. Is there some fresh air designed to come in from somewhere? Does anyone have some...

The video is animated and has a computer voice for the monologue, but it is interesting nonetheless. View: https://youtu.be/hW_1CBoLUCQ
