Start my car leaving from work, piss poor idle, piss poor performance, wouldn't go much past 2.5k rpm.

When I turned it back on, it ran just fine though.

Checked the codes, dude at Autozone said multiple misfires but the worst was number 3 cylinder misfires with low fuel or something like that.

Sooo I'm assuming the fuel filter, and I'm going to go ahead and change the spark plugs at the same time. Fun stuff.

Refinishing Style 5's, 17x8. Just finished the third barrel. The faces and bolts are getting cleaned and painted by a buddy. Going with polished lips and lime green faces/bolts. They should be done by Friday. Hub rings should be in the mail Thursday or Friday. The only things missing are tires. Haven't decided on the brand I'm going to run, but I'm pretty sure I'm going to run 205/40s. Tire suggestions welcome.

I'll test fitment, hopefully, this weekend. I think I may need some spacers all around. I've been working on these weekends only, and rarely weeknights, for the past month and a half. The end is in sight!

Edit - Still need to get some silver BBS Stickers for my centercaps, will order those at the same time I order tires.

BBS jewels?

I couldn't find anywhere that has the roundels in the size I need for my BBS RC040's.

[Alan777]

Can you buy them new?

Thats a fat tire for a 8" wheel, I think. Ive got 235/35 on my 8.5"s and the wheel pokes just a very little bit.

As for the bolts, vinegar soak, wheel brush thingy, then prime and paint. Since I live so close to the ocean the salt in the air is going to tear apart the raw aluminum, so i figure ill paint the bolts. I may even end up having to paint the barrels, too. If so Ill do a gloss black barrel with green centers/hardware and the black bbs cap.

Blackforest and Wokke have the bbs jewels, thats what I was referencing to when I said stuckers, sorry. And yeah.. Hardware is mad expensive, 2.30 a bolt, 34 bolts per wheel, 136 bolts total. Sigh.

I run a 235 on a 7.5 and the tire pokes just a bit. Factory is 225

Initially pulled over for no front license plate, cop let me off the hook when I told him I had it in my trunk and took it off because I was going to a meet this morning. As he was pulling away, though, he clipped my bumper. There was no damage done, maybe a 1" scuff mark, nothing I was too concerned with especially considering he could've written me tickets for my tint, license plate, speeding (3 over) and/or emissions. It was his 3rd day out in his own squad car so he had to file a report, which is why the other cops are there. I guess his direct senior came out to guide him through what happened, then his Sergeant came out to file the report and then a fourth officer had to come and take pictures.

Some of the looks I was getting from by passers were amusing.

[Featherlite 07]

will they pay to fix your bumper?

[bubbleboy016]

Yeah, they said they would if I wanted to. But I probably won't go through the hassle of dealing with getting funds from the county to fix it. It's just a tiny scuff mark. I met a dude this morning who said if I take it by his shop he will buff it out/detail my entire car anyways.

Anyone have an opinions on going with a lighter weight flywheel for an e36 325is? I'm just doing research now, but I'm probably going to have to do the clutch on my car before summer. Best option for replacement? I'd like to go with something a bit more aggressive than stock, but I don't want chatter or a ton of noise.

Well i have a spec 7.5lb flywheel and couldn't be happier, only draw back was it's slightly harder to launch the car from a stand still. Every time I go to the inspection station they stall it 50 times or they rev the piss out of it and slip the clutch.

[Alan777]

I just dont want to go too agressive/light. My vette had a spec clutch that chattered and made a lot of noise in Neutral with the clutch out and I hated it. I just want something with a little more bite than OEM so I don't have to be afraid of launching/shifting hard

Mine isn't too bad, the launching part is hard due to 9.2 compression 2L inline 4 with 18+psi. Regular traffic wasn't any real adjustment.
