Date: Fri, 19 May 2006 21:47:22 -0400 From: "///max" <max_m3@yahoo.com> Subject: *FS* Forgeline Track wheels Forgeline 17x9 RS Street with Kumho Victoracer V700 tires ready to rock. They have seen only 5 laps at LRP, and then only on my car long enough to take some pics and use as a template of sorts for my fender rolling. Offset is 42mm. The only difference between the RS Street and the RS Comp is the addition of a tiny threaded hole in the Street version so you can attach a center cap. Other than that, they are the same super strong forged wheel!!! Since I bought the Street version, they are more expensive but I realize most people only want to spend the $$$ on the race version. You've caught me at a time where I'm willing to bargain... Here's the info on the Street version: http://www.uucmotorwerks.com/forgeline/rs.html By comparison, here's the Race version specs: http://www.uucmotorwerks.com/forgeline/comp.html Here's where you can see pics of MY wheels: http://www.tnorton.com/forgeline/ Somebody give these a better home than they have now, all wrapped up and sitting in my living room!!! -max

I'm in Ventura, CA, but more than happy to pay for someone to ship it if they'd be willing to. I only need one. As a side note... If someone had a nice, full set of any other 17x8.5 or 17x9 wheels, I'd be willing to entertain the idea of a whole new set and would put the remaining three Koseis up for sale. Thanks! Jonathan L.

#8. unusual noise and vibration (long) - from Brian Ruiz
Top
Date: Sun, 21 May 2006 08:22:43 -0700 From: "Brian Ruiz" <eurowerke@gmail.com> Subject: unusual noise and vibration (long) Hey all, I posted this to the UUC list as well, but I wanted this to reach as wide an audience as possible, as I'm slightly frightened by the prospects of my situation. Sorry for the double post to those who are members of both lists. I just completed about 500 miles of driving over this past weekend in the M3. A little ways before exiting the freeway as I returned home this morning, I began to hear a very low volume rumble. I had been playing with the "LIMIT" function on the OBC for a little while, trying unsuccessfully to reset it back to the "- - -'" value, so I don't *think* it is related. At first I just thought the noise was a rumble from the subwoofer, so I ignored it and drove on. When it returned again a couple miles later, I turned off the radio completely and could still hear it. Upon accelerating, the rumble would remain low frequency, but it became somewhat louder, and then I could definitely feel it, but it was a very muted vibration. I suddenly thought that maybe the LIMIT OBC thing actually did limit the vehicle speed to what it was set at, and the engine was protesting under an electrically imposed speed limit, but I realized I was 5mph over what the limit was set to and that this was a somewhat silly idea, so I (half) discarded that thought branch ;). I had done a bit of hard driving on the freeways this weekend and this morning (3rd gear 6k rpm shifts entering on-ramps, etc, as I did all my driving today very early this morning and the freeways were empty). I then began to think it was other parts of the engine (namely the VANOS), but I guess the transmission or other parts of the driveline could be the culprit as well. I had also been using cruise control for a good part of the ~150 miles home today, as well as for other extended driving portions of my adventures this weekend. I *think* after finally exiting the freeway this morning and trying a couple hard acceleration runs on the street close to home, the car felt a tad low on power, but I can't be sure. I think the best way to describe the vibration I felt was like the engine was lugging at cruising speed. I had the clutch replaced last summer (about 10k miles ago, I guesstimate), followed by the VANOS unit (in search of a fix for a nagging head rattling noise and pinging problem), and I just went through replacing the rear pads and rotors 2 weeks ago, in addition to (finally) trimming the internal bump stops from the front Bilstein Sports (that was a LOT of work for something so small, but it made a huge improvement in how the car rides). So, the question: any ideas anyone what this vibration could be? One more note: I did notice on the passenger side of the car, when I was doing the rear brakes, that there was a LOT of caked dirt and such on the backside of the trailing arm hub area where the outboard axle shaft and CV joint slide into the trailing arm. Upon closer inspection there was a fair amount of thick grease in the area as well. However, it looked like the passenger side bearing, axle, and hub had been replaced before, as there was significantly less rust on them as compared to the driver's side, so I chocked up the gloops (that's a technical term) of grease to being "squeeze-out" from when the axle was replaced. I inspected the CV boot and it looked fine, no tears, and I did notice a slight dent in the metal sealing clamp for the boot on the outboard side of the outer CV joint, but it didn't appear to have deformed the ring enough to allow so much grease to squeeze out (but, of course, I could be wrong). Perhaps the extended drive this weekend squeezed more out and now the CV joint is shot and needs replacing again? Eh.... those axles aren't cheap... On the way to work on Friday morning before I even began this weekend's journey, the A/C blower suddenly went out. Blowing on 4, suddenly, nothing. Dang, must be that final stage resistor pack, I thought. But wait, it's on 4, and it's not blowing, I thought it wasn't supposed to work on everything but 4. I checked the fuses, blown #20 "Heater blower". Okay, no biggie, I thought, that's easy. Then all this! :( In any case, I mention all the details in case something similar has happened to anyone else and someone just might know exactly what the problem is. Man-o-man I sure hope it's not the engine. :( I guess if it's the axle I'm in pretty good shape. Much better than a new engine ;) Thanks all for your time. Brian build 8/95 102k

#9. Windshield stripping part# - from Peter Loron

I've been digging through the archives of various forums and several people have recommended ordering the OEM stripping/gutter (I'm not clear what these parts are really called) from Arnold's or Pacific and having the installer use them rather than generic parts. Can anybody tell me which part number(s) I need to order? Or, of course, let me know if it isn't necessary. Thanks. -Pete
