Hi all, Looking to add a nice stocking stuffer for the car for xmas and was wondering if there is a real difference in pulleys from either Rogue or Turner. I have had great service and products from both companies in the past and am only considering them. Anyone have any 5 or 10 mm spacers that are clogging up the track box that they want to free up? thanks, Rob ----------------------------------------- CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE This e-mail message and any attachments are only for the use of the intended recipient and may contain information that is privileged, confidential or exempt from disclosure under applicable law.

The rubber guibo is a shock absorber for the drivetrain. I'm guessing that replacing it with something very stiff is going to be hard on the transmission. Also, I bet the poly will crack fairly quickly. Buy a couple. But let is know if it works. :) - Mark ----- mark@pdc-racing.net Check out my JustRacing Home Page at: http://www.justracing.com/homepage/mdadgar

But let is know if it works. :) It should still absorb shock just not flex as bad or blow up...I will try one wehn I pull the old one out its almost ready to die. Not sure about the cracking. I know I had a VW GTi with poly everything you could think of and it was fine nothing ever cracked. I'll try it and report. Gary Gray Pro Bike/Pro Bike Cycling Team

Did I understand correctly that it is documented that you first complained about the problem before the warranty expired? If so, why is it posed as a matter of "request for goodwill assistance", rather than a demand that proper warranty coverage be provided? > Date: Mon, 20 Dec 2004 15:29:40 -0800 > From: the_buch@telus.net > Subject: It's a good thing they make such great cars ... > > I am embroiled in a disagreement with BMW Canada, and thought the list might > enjoy reading about it: > > http://www.bmwccbc.org/forums/bits/BMW_Letters-Oct_27_2004.pdf > > I know this is a bit long to read, but would also greatly appreciate any > opinions or advice on this situation. > > Thanks, Doug > > > > > > > ************************************************* > Please help support the E36M3 list by visiting our sponsors: > > Bimmerworld http://www.bimmerworld.com > Turner Motorsport http://www.turnermotorsport.com > Eurosport High Performance http://www.eurosporthighperformance.com > Rogue Engineering http://www.rogueengineering.com > > DIGEST INFORMATION: > http://www.bmw-m.net/resources/digest_info.htm > ************************************************* > >

Several typos ("Irregardless", "Low and behold", ...) and basically too long. Also, my 20" monitor suddenly and unexpectedly started freaking out (green gun going bad) immediately after I opened your PDF.
