Reseda (like on our old '77 630CSi) was originally a medium slightly avocado-y metallic green which, when sun-faded, turned into a very nice slightly gray-ish green. If it became any more sun-faded, the paint crazed and then you repainted the car. BTDT. I can't recall the other green color name, but it was a much lighter shade with no avocado-i-ness. Your description of "pale" could be this other color, or the faded version of Reseda. BTW, I've been to Reseda CA, but I can't say that I know where the color name comes from.

I've been monitoring the tire pressure and run 40psi all around when hot. Problem I'm seeing is the left rear is wearing a lot on the outside edge. When I was running street tires, it was the left front that saw the most edge wear. Can I address this w/air pressure? more? less? I had wanted to get 2 seasons out of the tires but right now that tire will not last this season. Only have 2 days on them, 1 Gingerman, 1 Blackhawk. Thoughts and suggestions appreciated.

Sounds like you could benefit from more negative camber. Without that, you can rotate aggressively (during the course of a day even) to spread the wear across all 4 tires, then flip the RA1s on their rims to use up the inside half of the tread as well. I'm not wearing tires this much lately. Barely have time to mow the lawn let alone get to the track these days... 8^ ( Marc Plante E36 M3/4 72k Vienna, VA > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Carlos Lopez" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: Clarence <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, "UUC Digest" <[email protected]> > Subject: Re: [UUC] track tire wear > Date: Wed, 5 Jul 2006 09:37:25 -0700 (PDT) > > > --- Clarence <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Thoughts and suggestions appreciated. > > I don't know about Blackhawk but Gingerman will kill tires in no time. > You must rotate them or else. > > Also have your alignment checked, maybe there's a problem with your > rear suspension. > > -Carlos. > > > __________________________________________________ > Do You Yahoo!? > Tired of spam?

Thanks for making a distinction. Otherwise the wear is even across the tread. Yeah, adjustable rear camber is nice, but it ain't gonna happen on this car. It was a big treat to get the RA1s! I rotate front and back, but the RA1s indicate they are left and right exclusive; unless I'm mistaken about that. If so, I'll go left/right next time out.

Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Thanks to I-88 my 1991 318is acquired a smashed foglight lens on the way to Watkins Glen in May. Has anyone dealt with bmwlights.com? They popped up at the top of a Google search for replacement lens sources. Does anyone have other favored sources? The lights still work, I just need the lenses (may as well replace the other one too, it's pretty sandblasted after 15 years). TIA.
