Seems like it might be a long-term keeper. Any advice on regular maintenance, etc? Factory recs seem quite long and drawn-out, perhaps to be expected, since the B-Company pays for it all through 4 years/50k, after which it is on my ticket. Thanks, any and all will be appreciated!

MS?! EWWWW....REAL men dump MS products completely for open source products!! Hehe...seriously though, if I had to choose an OS to use and was told that I could never use anything else, I'd definitely be choosing a Linux/Unix/BSD variant. Yes, admittedly the learning curve can be quite sharp, but the utility once you gain familiarity is so much greater! I'm confused what you're asking though Carlos..you're trying to connect to the terminal services client on the localhost, and the IP_address:port syntax isn't working? Why are you trying to do that anyway, testing something? As far as I know, it should work; if the remote desktop client window just sits there trying to connect, something must be configured wrong on the "server" side, perhaps the terminal services licensing or connection setup. Sorry to everyone else for the WOB; Carlos, if you need more help shoot me an email off list.

I'm not a fan of the 3.73 in the M3, as I think the gearing is sort of "in-between" for a lot of the California tracks. I find myself having to either short shift to 5th or I have to shift to 5th for very short runs on straights and then go back down to 4th before corner entry. I have the same problem with 3rd and 4th in a couple of spots at THill. This isn't a problem if you don't mind rowing the gears, but I just find myself distracted. I think running a 3.64 or a 3.91 are a better bet. I'm going to set-up a 3.64 with a Quaife to replace my 3.73 LSD. If I were running a lower-torque car, I'd run the 3.91 and just assume regular shifts to 5th in exchange for better squirt out of the corners. -peter*g ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 6 Aug 2004 08:35:39 -0700 From: Mark Dadgar <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: 3.73 Diff Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> On Aug 6, 2004, at 8:13 AM, Peter Guagenti wrote: > I think running a 3.64 or a 3.91 are a better bet.

Actually, having driven Bassett's car with the 3.91 (before I put my 3.73 in), I think it's just a hair short for tracks like Thunderhill. - Mark ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 6 Aug 2004 09:12:33 -0700 (PDT) From: Richard Dorffer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: 3.73 Diff Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> --- Mark Dadgar <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On Aug 6, 2004, at 8:13 AM, Peter Guagenti wrote: > > I think running a 3.64 or a 3.91 are a better bet.

That must be due to the fact that you are carrying a little more speed than Bassett so the 3.73 works better for you... :-) Later, Rich - egging on the Bassett/Dadgar rivalry ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 05 Aug 2004 20:55:44 -0700 From: "J.

Absolutely not, at least not for an E36. I went through 5 windshields on my M3 - the first four were OE, and the last was an aftermarket PPG unit. The four OE ones all had significant distortions (waves) - the very first OE replacement windshield that I had put in had so many waves that I felt car sick every time I looked at a straight line on the passenger side of the car. The glass place had to tear it out and put in a replacement the very next day. The next 3 windshields were better, but still had waves. The PPG windshield didn't have any noticeable waves, and lasted much longer in the same conditions...

Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Bill, FWIW, *everyone* in the track-rat circles I hang out with is using one of these jacks (except for those who shelled out $$$$ for the nifty Nascar or Griots versions before these became available). Lots of people on the Porsche list too. A common failure is the little lips where the jack actually touches the car; many have just shaved them off and use a rubber pad, or else use a hockey puck to do the lifting. One or two have reported hydraulic failures, but nothing catastrophic. Basically, anyone going to the track is a convert, not wishing to schlepp heavier steal versions, and unable to resist the $99 special.... vty, --Dennis -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of BMWBits Sent: Friday, August 06, 2004 8:53 AM To: 2002digest; E21 Digest; E9coupes BMW; Senior Six Digest; Sixer coupe Group; Uucdigest Subject: [UUC] Concensus on Alum Floor jacks ....??

Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> These jacks definitely are a good example of the "it is what it is" adage. It's a cheap jack, but one that is reasonably light & somewhat reliable. Cost-cutting has definitely reared it's ugly head here, but if you want a light jack for light duty work at the track, it's great. I didn't pay much, & hence don't expect much..... I doubt there are a whole lot of professionals using these.......

First, all the accessory nonsense. The flashing dash lights & the car's propensity to shut off the radio when the turn signal or brake lights were activated were resolved by replacement of the battery. The old one wouldn't hold a charge, showed an open circuit & had a dry cell. With the new battery, all is good.......except.... The battery wasn't being recharged. $51 for a voltage regulator later & the alternator is now charging properly at about 13.7-9VDC. So, now I think everything is good, right....... Well, the car starts fine & idles ok for a minute or so, then the idle drops off & will eventually stall. So I restart & rev the engine to about 2000 rpms, which keeps the car running (in the garage....this will be significant in a sec.) but it still won't idle. However, it is QUITE fragrant......woooooo contact buzz. Again, car stalls. Check battery voltage, 12.7V. Yep, it seems to be getting charged. Now, figuring maybe the plugs are fouled I want to drive the car to clean things up & see what happens. Driving car is ok, I run around the parking lot at 2-3000 rpms & car seems fine, I've fixed it, but then the car gets to operating temperature. Now the car begins to lurch & surge & will not rev up even though I'm pushing the pedal to the floor. I try pumping the gas, slipping the clutch, everything, but the car just won't run. Finally, I creep back to the garage & indignantly creep the car into the garage under starter power. I went to check the coil, & wires, but they seem to be fine, I gave up as it was getting late & I really didn't have any more good ideas. The coil checks seemed ok, I got .7-.8 ohms between pins 15 & 1, but an open load between 1 & the center. Since the car ran, I'm assuming I did something wrong. So, I'm fishing for what might cause the car to run fine at start, not idle after a minute or so & not allow the car to rev at all once the temperature (water--never got the oil temp up) is in the operating range.

Sometimes they go wonky when heated up. Otherwise a bad temperature sensor, or EGO can cause such problems, as can any electronic component.
