Parts store didn't have a cup the right size to pull my rear wheel bearing, so I made my own. Also learned that you can cut really close to a shoulder with an angle grinder if you cut a helix around the part.
Done that before for e36 rear bearings, for the outer race. But I have a scar on the back of my hand from when a bearing chunk got me through a glove. Next time I will try a trick I watched someone do which was to weld on the outer bearing and it shrinks and just falls out. Seemed weird but I watched it and it seemed to work.

Heating the race while spinning it will get the race to fall off.

I bought matching wheels for my daily... tires should be here today. Obligatory teaser picture:
-
Very nice, what tires are you getting? I'm torn between Michelin PSS and Hankooks for my new wheels

I got Michelin PSS for my 135i and Nankang NS-20 for the 328i.
Loved the Pilot Super Sports last year so I got them again. I've had these Nankangs before and they have good reviews. Nice cheap tire for my daily.

My wild guess is a brake cooling duct? you can see some red ducting running from the bumper to that area behind the rotor

My Uncle and cousin did this for years. I never participated but could get info if you'd like.

What I am wondering is what are engine limitations, can they be 2stroke? Age restrictions? Is there certain days that you can run them on the drag strip? I read up on a lot of info online but it would be nice to know exact info from someone that had done it.

Bought this Clarion FZ-102E for one of the cars and I'm super happy with it. Matches the oem lighting perfect and buttons look great too. It's a basic European market head unit but that's all I wanted. Took about a week to ship from the U.K.

WOAHHHHHH. I had one just like that in my civic many many moons ago. I miss that deck, I should have kept it when I sold the car. FAIL.

Being european, does the radio frequency change at all? Probably a stupid question
No good question! Not sure what this unit isn't in the us market because it does cover the full American spectrum. I haven't bought the correct antenna wiring yet but many on bimmer forums have had no issues.

Cheaper than a CD43!
