I have a few more improvements to do before its done but I've got some extra parts. I have no idea if they'll help anyone but I hate to see stuff laying around. 1 '98 M3 intake manifold. Bare, no gaskets or attached parts/accessories 6 stock '98 M3 injectors. 28,000 miles on them but I always use Chevron Premium with Techron and they got a cleaning on the house at 18K from the dealer. If you need any of this stuff make me an offer.

Wait till it quits dripping oil. Clean it well with brake cleaner/Gumout and Q-Tip the crap out of it. Now you should be able to use JB Weld epoxy to attach another smaller diameter bolt to the busted part. Just put a bead on the tip of another bolt and wait till it starts to setup. Then hold it in position Don't get fancy. If you screw with it until and it falls inside you are you-know-what. Don't use a lot. More doesn't help and you don't want the stuff in the threads. Hope its not cross threaded or you have real fun ahead of you. I suppose there are other more elegant ways to do this but I've done this on murdercycles before.

It didn't work out as <snip> That reminds me, does anyone know if someone's still working on active noise cancellation mufflers? Mufflers are big & heavy, and electronic muffler tuning just sounds like a blast! It would be great to have a switch on the dash to choose between quiet, loud, Ferrari, bees-in-a-can, and of course Jetsons. - -- John Bolhuis | "In America it is not considered to be mentally ill bolhuijo | when a woman advances on her prey in a discotheque @bolhuijo.com | setting with hardy cocktails present." | -Madonna ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 14 Feb 2000 02:06:37 EST From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [uuc] WANTED: SPRINGS FOR 95 M3 I would like to find some aftermarket springs for my 1995 M3...NOT Eibachs...I have them on the car right now (with Bilstein shocks) and the car is too firm.
