Liu" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: 1995 Ferrari 355 Challenge just STOLEN from New Hampshire Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> My good friend Andy Sanborn just had his 1995 355 Challenge STOLEN in New Hampshire, NH plate "Anglina". More details to follow, but please keep your eyes open! It is a Tommy Hilfiger team car (one of three), pics below. It has an open exhaust and is very loud. Can't imagine what someone is going to do with it, other than take it for a joy ride. If they try to part it out, please let me know (mysteriously low prices on 355 parts, especially Challenge parts). Alas, the third possibility is that it's in a shipping container going to Latin America or the Middle East or Eastern Europe. Damn. Pictures are here: http://70.85.40.84/~ferrari/forum/showthread.php?t=80429 If you see it or hear of anything, please call Andy at 603 682 1165.

Craig Eller" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [email protected] Subject: <E36> Back Seat Removal Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Hi Guys, Guess the hurricane has rattled my brains, I know I've had the back seat (fixed seat back, no trunk entry) out of the M3 before. The seat bottom is easy, just lift up at the edge and pull out. But I can't for the life of me figure out the seat back (vertical portion). Bentley's is no help, the bolts it indicates are behind the middle arm rest don't exist in the location indicated. Somebody put me out of my misery and tell me what I'm missing. Best wishes.

Misfire also lets oxygen into the cat. Check all the ignition secondary, including wires. Injector matching and vacuum leaks are also suspects.
