Anyone here owned an old(er) BMW?

I figured I would ask here as we are all seemingly like-minded gearheads with a similar penchant for quality engineering and interesting designs. Lately I've been getting the RWD itch and have been eying up some older BMWs, even if it feels a little bit like Luke joining up with Vader coming from dr...

Re: TE05 5bolt patern to 3" Vband

I think you'll almost certainly have to have it machined from an existing turbo as it is a very unique flange, as Jordan said. I looked into this years ago and for some reason I thought there was some new turbo (off a Subaru I want to say?) that used the same flange but I can't for the life of me re...

Re: Bespoke Intake Manifold B202

Not the greatest in the world, for some reason I have it stuck in my head that one was actually for 8V engines but that could be totally incorrect. I love the ITB one with the fuel injectors spraying right into the trumpet! If I could make any sort of claim as to seeing common themes with some of th...

Re: Bespoke Intake Manifold B202

Looks like it will be another great thread!

You have probably thought it out and researched it in great detail, but I have a few (sadly blurry) photos of similar manifolds from Trollspeed from the Saab Festival years ago if you'd like any inspiration...

Re: Krizzie's white 900 Aero

If you don't mind, I am curious what your thoughts are on the Type 8 primaries? Ive been mildly considering the swap on my SPG (stock 7's currently) for a little longer gears as I have gotten used to driving 9-3 transmissions but am always curious to hear feedback on them. What made you go 9, then d...

Re: Cooling Fan Rebuild or Replacement?

Ah thanks, I didn’t see one listed for my year (‘90) but found it by switching to an earlier year, looks like that is also a Uro part so I’ll give it a shot!

Combi Adapter w/ T5 and T7 harness pigtails

Figured I'd see if anyone is looking for one of these, I've come to the conclusion that any of my future Saab tuning will be done by Jordan so no sense in having this sit around collecting dust. Included is the combi adapter (with case), the BDM cables that were included, a pigtail for both T5 and T...

Cooling Fan Rebuild or Replacement?

Does anyone know of a place that rebuilds (or a DIY kit) the Bosch cooling fans in a 900? Mine are extremely loud and you can feel/see/hear the amount of current they draw when the kick on so I'd like to replace them for good measure, but it seems like there aren't many options these days. Eeuro and...

Re: Winter Tires

Thanks for the suggestion on the General Arctics!! We got our first snow of the year and these performed fantastically, not that I was able to really get them up to speed with all the traffic, but accelerating from a stop and braking were great. Im hoping for a skit trip up to VT this winter so hope...

Re: Winter Tires

PepBoys claimed to have the Altimax Arctic in stock and I almost pulled the trigger yesterday but was skeptical, now they have disappeared from the site. Ditto Walmart, claim to have them but I'm again skeptical since all the other major tire retailers say its all but impossible to get them anymore ...

Re: Winter Tires

Thanks for all the advice guys! I've coming from Gislaved 3's that were fantastic for many seasons but are nearly bald and dry rotting now so I figured its time for a change. We don't get usually get crazy levels of sustained snow in PA so I don't think I need anything too extreme, though I've of co...

Winter Tires

Howdy all, we're nearing that time when (hopefully) cool weather and eventually snow are creeping into daily life on the east coast, figured I'd see what/if anyone is planning on running for winter tires and/or what a good site to purchase from these days? My 16's are completely bald and was looking...

Re: Craigslist / Fleabay / Blocket.se / Kijiji / Thread

I saw that pop up on ebay like a week or so ago, was curious to see it again. At this point it seems too cheap for a 99T but who knows :crazy:
