Zitat von arnie;106547I think there was a How-to-Post by 8-tech (Gerry) on how to fit a kenlowe fan. If I recall correctly, you don't need to modify the radiator, but you do need to redisign the mounting arrangement. Not sure that it worked out any cheaper in the end, if you consider the additional time.
Actually Arnie you posted about Kenlowe fans :):

Zitat von Noggie;106524Speedo sensor is in the diff, so the front wheels don't effect them.
Isn't the front wheel speed compared to the rear wheel speed to detect wheel spin?
I think if your front and rear tyre diameters differ by more than 3% you will have problems. I did this once and my ASC T used to cut in under moderately hard acceleration and cut the power to the rear wheels.
Ok, that did it, thanks Reinhard.
Hi Reinhard,
tried both ways, just keep ending up with this...
Zitat von reinhard;106423This part is in the public section. Just log in again or change the link in your address bar from "...8er.ch" to ..."8er.org".
I tried this but it won't let me in.
Hope it sell this time Lloyd, sorry to here about the redundancy. Bit of an iffy situation at work here too, might be following your lead in a few months.
If I remember correctly the kit Gerry offered would only fit onto cars with 18" wheels or bigger, if it had been for 17's and above there would probably have been more of a takeup.

This sounds as if you´re expecting the worst.
I hope nobody at the BMW HQ is reading this - they might just get another bright idea
The recycling cardboard comes with the fabric and it will be assembled, almost ready to use. A few holes need to be cut for the mirror & panic handle. Those headliners are universal for RHD and LHD. Ask me how I found out
Cheers
Reinhard
Just checking, wouldn't want to turn up and find I was buying a roll of material, roll of foam and some glue. 
Not sure I like the idea of having to drill holes in it though. 
Zitat von reinhard;105419The OEM headliner in Light Silvergrey (up to 9/92) is still available. P/N: 5144 8156427 - cost is around 300 EUR plus taxes today (roughly 390 USD plus s&h, taxes)
Do you just get the material or does it come attached to the board?
Sweepstake for number of months untill shnitz is back with a new 8. I'll say 12 months.
See you next year schnitz 
Got my eyes shut and my fingers in my ears, la la la la la.
Sorry, that was a typo. :):)
For me it would have to be in Kawasaki Green
Although a Hayabusa in Limited Edition White would probably be a close second.
You still got the ZZR100? I'd love to get one of the new ZZR1400s, just no way I can justify it. 
Time for a motorbike update, sold my Triumph Tiger 1050, had it for 2 years (already?) and 25k miles. It was a great bike but I just didn't need a 1000cc motorbike for my short 20 mile trip to work so I have now gone all sensible and bought one of Honda's New Concept bikes, the NC700X.
Unusually for a motorbike it only revs to 6500rpm but thats because its supposed to be an economical commuter bike and currently I'm averaging 78mpg on it.
I think Webasto was the manufacturer of unit that was optionally fitted to the E31, but I might be wrong on that. I did enquire about having one of these fitted in 2010, but it was a bit too pricey for me, £1750 fitted, (£500 of that would have been the labour charge).

However I needed to do something so in the end I went for something that at £69 was a bit cheaper. ...

Its not ideal and for temperatures cold enough to freeze your door shut it needs at least 20 minutes but at least I can get into the car with it.
Well I hope you've been keeping it looking good, Tee's mate used to clean it, one of the worlds best detailers.

Pretty sure this pictures from Gaydon and thats my car parked next to it in this picture
Zitat von ukzero;104210Suddenly Wheeler Dealers is lifted to new cerebral heights in comparison!
You obviously haven't seen the new 'Grease' trailer for it then. 
Zitat von sandwich;104193Not sure how many of you saw the programme but if you didn't, dont bother hunting for it. It was absolute crap!
If he thought that was worth £30k, he was living in cloud cuckoo land. It was a USA sourced left hooker auto with a 1970s flip up glass sunroof. Advice was to do away with the sunroof,but they decided to install a new one which resembled something out of a 1984 Maestro.
Dire TV with lots of amateur dramatics thrown in!
However, good to see the 8
Its worth watching just to see it come out of the paint booth after the sprayer pulled an all nighter on it just to have one of them immediately back it into an engine.
10 owners, wow.
Just happened to watch this program, couple of guys in London restored an E-Type. They had a 'valuer' come and look it when they had finished, a man widely respected in the industry for valuing classic cars and guess what he turned up in.......an 8 Series .
Reg was NKX 3.
