The tailpipe is known to introduce a distinct hum or noise if the exhaust pipe stops short of the back of the bumper. For proper sound/exhaust exit, the tailpipe should extend 2-3 inches PAST the back of the bumper. Stopping under the car or bumper will create noise IN the car.

This is particularly ...

Heavy stop and go traffic... (long commutes with long waits) will result in a slow, disconcerting rise in temperature during the stops.

The purpose of the shroud is to make the fan more effective by pulling air in over the total surface of the radiator. Granted they get warped and if so... they ...

Do a search on the internet for rust+molasses.

RE: the NEW Bosal exhaust in the classifieds>>>>

I used a Bosal on one of my 77 cars, and it worked great and was still muffling well when the car quit five years after installation.

It's a bit throatier, but a very nice sound. It's not noticable in the car as long as you make sure the exhaust ...

Isn't that what they call lawyers in OZ. (That's a nickname for Australia, or do you need documentation on that). :roll:

Most REAL car enthusiast simply accept the fact that we must make up a lot of car modifications to improve our rides, without needing significant evidence of the shortcomings of ...

E28 seats swap directly into 80/81 e12's. In fact they swap into all e12's, but you may have to use the seat bases from the earlier e12's, which bolt on. I can't remember the year when the shape of the floor pan changed on the e12's, but the appropriate seat bases for the e12 make it work with the ...

I like the tan... it brings down the harshness of that stock interior color and looks much richer...

Must also be nice to plant your Buttt on fabric on a cold morning, rather than vinyl or leather.

Would definitely like to see pics of the interior if the opportunity ever presents.

I drove Mellow as my daily driver for quite a while. I bought it as the 3rd owner. The first problem I encountered was reverse gear went out in the 3HP. Then the head gasket blew (or the head cracked).

I bought a 3.2 liter with transmission from CoupeKing in Ca. I had the engine installed in the ...

Because that's not the 77 I was talking about. I was talking about Schmurfenblau... my pastel blue 77 e12.

I wondered about that name.

So, if you sell Mellow.. .will you let me know about the opportunity.

As I recall, talking with the fellow who I bought my 77 from, the reactors are two separate 3 into one using two downpipes, and he used the two separate stock manifolds from M30 engines that used the two down pipes. The Reactors being as big as they are, they drop down quite a bit more than the ...

Another way to check.... first startup of the day, have someone else start the car while you watch the pipe. Oil will have drooled down the guides overnight and be pooled on the valve heads, ready for that first start of the day.

The good news... other than plug fouling over time, you're out a bit ...

Common rule about replacing parts... if they work--- don't. Why did you put in a new box. Second rule... New doesn't mean good. A lot of these replacement parts have been sitting in parts bins for 30 years and have been moved and knocked about. Electronics are particularly sensitive to age and they ...
