Oh sorry, this is contradiction. Arguments are down the hall." Walter is an all-around good guy too. He's letting me drive his car at the next GGC autocross, since mine is behaving kinda poorly these days (long story), and he declined my offer to bribe him for the privilege. He's a more frequent contributor on the Bay Area E30 Network forum: www.baye30.net (Disclaimer: Walter never worked on my car. Mainly because I don't live in Sacramento.)

When your speedo reads 60mph, you're actually traveling 62.3mph. Hope this helps.

What matters is the tire's revolutions per mile based upn the outside circumference of the tire. Ed John Peacock wrote: > I dont think his speedo is right now if he has 17s on a 97 328.

Mine does sit a little lower than a stock 328 though. The rears used to rub on speed bumps and the fronts rubbed on hard cornering before the M3 suspension.

Mark's speedo error calculation is correct, about 4% depending on brand. The ride is more insulated from the road. Most of the extra sidewall flex can be dialed out with higher tire pressure.

I'm replacing these plastic window glides in my passenger door soon. Only one was broken, but I figured I'd change all four while I'm in there. Wondering what type of grease I should use, as the old stuff is pretty caked and stiff now, I want to clean it out and regrease everything. Is lithium grease a good choice or perhaps a synthetic Mobil 1 grease?
