Let’s Get Started – MkIV VW 1.8T Starter Parts Change
I acquired a new track toy, a 2003 VW Beetle Turbo S. My friend and I have been wrench turning some parts to get it ready for the tough life of a track toy, but at a recent event, I had difficulty getting the car started at times. I originally thought it was a battery […]
E34 M5 Resto Part VI: BMW Door Panels and Steering Wheel
Mechanically, the E34 M5 BMW is regarded as a thoroughly over engineered performance machine, typical of German craftsmanship of the era, and perhaps the last vehicle built by the marque that was created using a “cost is no object” philosophy when it came to design hours. The BMW M5 interior, on the other hand, has […]
E34 M5 BMW Part Resto V – ///M5 Badge & BMW Ignition Parts
In replacing my roundels a few weeks ago, it became clear that the BMW ///M5 badge (actually two pieces) on my trunk was looking less than stellar. Years of Texas sun had taken a toll on the coloring and it was becoming a little pitted. Thankfully, these BMW parts are still readily available for order […]
E34 M5 Resto Part IV – Fan Clutch Replacement
About 35 minutes into my first big road trip in the M5 (i.e., more than 15 miles), it became readily apparent that the fan clutch for the belt driven cooling fan had completely seized. How did I know? I’m not psychic, and the engine stayed nice and cool, staying firmly planted a touch below the […]
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 […]
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 […]
VW R32 Rear Differential Fluid and Filter DIY
The almighty R32 engine was first introduced in the MK4 VW Golf in 2002 made for the German market. It wasn’t until 2004 that the R32 Golf became available in the US and Australia. Over the years, VW’s 3.2-liter engine was used in the MK4 and MK5 versions of the Golf with a variety of […]
