Both tracks can be a bit "slippy" (I love that term from WRC :-)) in the early hours of the morning, mainly due to cold temps. >Second question...

Anyone know of a place between Ventura and San Jose or San >Jose and Sanoma that might have 4 new Toyo RA-1s (235/40-17s) ready to sell?? Call AIM Tire at Sears Point - (707) 938-9193. They carry Toyo RA1s, and may have the size on-hand. (I'd let you borrow mine, but I'll be using them Sat/Sun, then they go with the car to Texas on Tues :-)) Cheers, Jim Bassett

I think it will be relatively cold in the morning, maybe a bit damp, but I wouldn't expect any rain. Weather.com says just cloudy skies for Sonoma (and the whole Bay Area) for at least another 9 days. >At 02:04 PM 10/31/02, twisty M3 wrote: >>Two questions for anyone in the nor Cal area.

I just bought a 98 M3/4 5-speed from the Chicago area - pick it up Friday:) I would like to know where I can get a good price on a OEM alarm as well as getting a shark 'kit'. Where is a good place to get either? Also will be looking for: shark 'kit' You can get this from UUC as well.. x-brace I bought mine from Steve D at www.ultimategarage.com short shift kit UUC. This is the shifter that I have, and I love it! http://www.uucmotorworks.com/ Is K&N still the best? Stock? What conforti has to offer? I have the ECIS setup, and have changed the filter to the ITG filter. This setup is cheaper than the conforti one, and from a recent dyno run that I saw actually produces slightly more HP. http://www.ecisbmw.com/ thanks in advance Paul Smith 36 hrs from a 98 M3/4

But I didnt know if they had ever shown the refills here and this was a permanent omission, or, whether its a recent development showing a new direction on wiper replacement strategy. If it is a new direction, thats very unfortunate. I always much preferred just replacing the rubber. After all, the metal doesnt wear out, so why have to replace it!

#8. Saturday Tire Mounting In San Jose? - from twisty M3

I found a way to get my tires this weekend, but I'll be owing some huge favors. ;) Now I just need to find a place to get them mounted AS SOON as I get to San Jose on Saturday afternoon. Anyone have a place they recommend? I, unfortunately, am unfamiliar with the area, so this is a better resource than my guesswork. I'm staying near SJSU, if that makes the suggestion list easier. ;) Thanks! Jonathan L. _________________________________________________________________ Get a speedy connection with MSN Broadband.

If you are *TOWING* to from SF Bay Area and could carry these, please let me know. I may, or may not end up changing these between 2 days, so if you have a floor jack I could use or want to help, that would be cool. I'll be bringing my Snap On 14.4V *CORDLESS IMPACT*. If you want to try this, just stop by. I'll also bring some E36 M3 brake hardware spares left from my last car. Gleb <----- The yellowest car on the paddock
