#1. 4 point restraints in a rollover - from Innerstrengthfit@aol.com
Top
Date: Tue, 4 Feb 2003 00:10:33 EST From: Innerstrengthfit@aol.com Subject: 4 point restraints in a rollover Just want to know the consensus on the pros and cons of 4 point restraints, particularly in a rollover situation. I have heard some say that in a rollover with roof collapse, one would be better off without the 4 points. Not that I plan on rolling any time soon, but one never knows when one might accidentally put the shiny side down. Thanks, Dan

#2. Transporting Fuel? - from twisty M3

Date: Mon, 03 Feb 2003 22:16:32 -0800 From: "twisty M3" <twistym3@hotmail.com> Subject: Transporting Fuel? How safe (or unsafe) would it be to have a sealed gasoline jug filled with 5-gallons of 104 octane fuel in the trunk of an M3 for apx 100 miles on a 70 degree day? I don't think "much" heat developes in the trunk, and I doubt the battery ever gives off a spark, but I don't want to chance it on a hunch. Anyone have experience driving with a trunk full 'o gas and not blowing up? ;) Jonathan L. _________________________________________________________________ Help STOP SPAM with the new MSN 8 and get 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/junkmail

Seems everytime I work on the cars, I need the wheels >off. >Any info on your great ideas or and info to assist would be greatful. Paul, Sounds pretty similar. The bottom floor of my house was 26x40. I had two single garage doors (side by side) added to the 26' side. One of the garage bays is the full 40' and the other is a single 20'. The remaining 20' by 13' is the workshop and the utility room. The muscle car gets the far back space on the long bay, because it doesn't get driven too much. Since the utility room is right there, it's very easy to pull hot and cold water, cable, phone, CAT5e cable and plenty of juice from the main panel to the garage. Drains are against code here in MA, so I just sloped the garage floor enough that water just runs out of the cracked garage door. I put up long pieces of tubing along the ceiling surrounding one of the car parking areas and chained about 8 shower curtains together. Now when I want to wash the car in the cold weather, I just pull the shower curtain around the car and wash it indoors. Oversizing the furnace/AC unit for the first floor of the house and then pull 1-2 outlet from the utility room into the garage. Also, you may want to build an enclose for an air compressor. They can be quite loud, especially the oil-free ones. Add lots of lighting and tons of outlets - you'll always want more. I wish I had the ceiling height for the a lift.... Good luck, Colin '98 M3

The garage is fairly new, so after cleaning up the builders sloppy mud/tape job and giving her a fresh coat of paint, I'd like to spend a little time working on the concrete floor. I'm considering a 2'x2' black/white checker board pattern that not only spans the entire floor, but also spills onto two corner walls, steps, and the door which leads into my house. I've got to put pen to paper to see exactly how it will look and obtain that all important by-in from my wife, but my I've got a question as to the best method to cover the floor. Does concrete stain/paint have a superior wear factor to 12"x12" tiles? Do they even make tiles that would withstand the conditions encountered in a garage...much less an unheated one that sees the extreme cold of Chicago winters? Thanks for the input.

You shouldn't have too much of a problem provided the gas can is completely sealed. I notice the left side get warm from the exhaust but not too extreme when you're on the freeway for a long time. I would bring those octane boosters from auto stores but they might kill the O2 sensors. I wouldn't use it unless I was club racing though. Be safe and keep the shiny side up! -Bobby ----- Original Message ----- From: "twisty M3" <twistym3@hotmail.com> > > How safe (or unsafe) would it be to have a sealed gasoline jug filled with > 5-gallons of 104 octane fuel in the trunk of an M3 for apx 100 miles on a 70 > degree day?

But you'll probably have to lay the jug on its side, opening up the possibility of leakage. When towing the race car, which is black and gets hot, we occasionally put the jugs in the car, and have never had a problem. I prefer the back of the truck though. Speaking of which, if Rosamond is your destination, the missus will be coming down the 101 on Friday afternoon / early evening, and has to pick up a friend in Moor Park. We could arrange to transport it for you.
