E34 M5 Resto Part II: Replacing The BMW Badges
Sometime between purchasing a new project car and it arriving on a transport truck at my home, I always seem to amass a small mountain of parts — things I know based on photos or a pre-purchase inspection will obviously require replacement. And on a project such as my 1991 E34 M5, which needs no […]
New England Dustoff 2017 Photo Gallery is UP!
There’s a running gag with the inner New England dub scene that it will ALWAYS rain for the Dustoff. Meant to “Dust Off” your VW or Audi show car after a winter of careful storage, the Dustoff 2017 is meant to be the groan and stretch after a long hibernation, and it’s HUGE! Thousands of […]
E34 M5 Resto Part I: The Shimmy, Shake and Shuffle
There can be no doubt. I have been a lifelong, dyed in the wool gearhead. Some of my earliest memories involve wrenching with my father on Austin Healeys, helping to rebuild SU carburetors on our basement workbench. And when his restorations were finished, the cars were not stored away under glass, never to be touched, […]
Get Boosted! BMW 3-Series E36 Brake Booster DIY
Maybe your BMW’s brakes have you scratching your head the way ours did. After years of reliable, solid braking performance from this BMW part, our brake pedal had degraded into a soft, mushy mess usually around the 2nd braking zone of a track event. We first noticed things were awry last year but this season […]
Tell Us A Car Love Story and Enter To Win $500!
This contest is over! Congrats to Brett Ryan (the BMW M3 guy, not the Toronto Crossbow Murderer) for the winning story! Chances are if you are reading this, you’re what they call a ‘Petrolhead’ in England. It’s ok, so are we. With Valentine’s day coming up, we thought it would be fun to cast a […]
Putting the Ute in Commute – Chopped Euros are Everywhere!
We go to a lot of shows a year. The slammed look is popular, most presumably because it makes a car look more performance oriented. I mean, in general full blown race cars are very close to the ground. That keeps a lower center of gravity and ensures the least amount of airflow is allowed […]
Should I Really Use a Different Motor Oil in the Winter?
There are those who swear by using heavier-weight motor oil during summer months and lighter-weight oils during winter months for the maintenance of their car’s engine. In this day an age it’s sometimes hard to decipher whether or not they really know their stuff, or they are just pushing snake oil. Of course, as an […]
Driving Fast In The Dark – Hella 350 Light Bar Review
RCR recently had a chance to try out the new Hella 350 LED light bars. Our E30 rally car affectionately named Nemo (Never Ending Maintenance Opportunity) has been running a cheap eBay light bar and stock ellipsoids for the last year. This combination seems very impressive on the street and playing around in the woods […]
Artist Creates Amazing Engine Replicas Out Of Bizarre Materials
I’ve always admired a clean engine bay. But no matter how hard I polish or how much grime I scrape away, it’s never quite good enough. Maybe it’s the artist in me, but I’m constantly fighting the urge for perfection. But really, perfection can only be a relative term to define where an artist can […]
