#3. StonGard Light Protection - from Jeremy Conners
Top
Date: Sat, 5 Nov 2005 14:54:04 -0500 From: "Jeremy Conners" <jeremy.conners@comcast.net> Subject: StonGard Light Protection Well, a few weeks ago I finally tagged a retread on the highway here in Detroit. Luckily, it was only a partial retread and it only managed to remove the left foglight (harness & bracket intact). The light has been replaced (thanks James @ BW); however, repeated attempts to contact StonGard for a replacement foglight film kit have been futile. They seem to be redesigning their site, but repeated emails have gone unanswered and the phone numbers are disconnected. Maybe an ownership change??? Anyway, does anyone know how to get in touch with them now? Alternatively, is there another source for similar pre-cut film? Or even film directly from 3M? Or another vendor that has the film in stock? Thanks, Jeremy Conners 97 M3

#5. Re: chip for 95 M3 - from John Pease

Date: Sat, 5 Nov 2005 19:02:51 -0800 (PST) From: John Pease <john_pease123@yahoo.com> Subject: Re: chip for 95 M3 I finally dug through my junk pile to find the chip for the M3. It a Eurosport E506-300 95 M3. I believe this is the version for M3's through 12/94 with the 0-261-203-506 ECM. The Bosch #0-261-200-413 later ECM has EWS. Worked fine until I replaced it with the chip for the Euro HFM (are your ears ringing Carlos?). Long time ago. I probably wouldn't want to buy something like this without installation because there is no guarantee that it is not broken already and it would be hard if to prove who was at fault if the buyer plugged it in backwards. $100 with installation seems fair. I am an EE so this would not be hard for me. I live in Santa Clara so come on down. I have the original invoice from Eurosport.

#9. top speed in second gear...sharked? - from mdriver13@aol.com

Date: Tue, 08 Nov 2005 09:07:32 -0500 From: mdriver13@aol.com Subject: top speed in second gear...sharked? Group, Can anyone tell me the top speed in 2nd gear if you are sharked? Unsharked I think it's ~62mph, but I know it's higher sharked. Past Sunday's autox was on an airstrip...what a hoot! Hit the limiter before takeoff ;-)) Too scared to look at the speedo, would have missed a coupe gates if I tried at that speed.
