#1. Track / Motorcycle Trailer For Sale - from Jeff Bjerke
Top
Date: Tue, 11 Dec 2007 1:07:54 -0500 From: Jeff Bjerke <jbjerke@charter.net> Subject: Track / Motorcycle Trailer For Sale I have a 4'x8' folding steel trailer for sale. Very light and tows behind an E36 M3 with no issues (can't even tell it's back there). 1/8" aluminum diamond plate flooring, removable side rails and aluminum locking diamond plate storage box in front. This trailer was built to carry all track day / racing equipment and easily converted to haul 1 to 3 motorcycles. There are 2 wheel chocks for motorcycles with three quick release mounts, (1) ramp and (3) rails. The rear of the trailer is designed to haul 4 track wheels/tires while the front can haul five 6-gallon gas cans, cooler, floor jack, 5th track wheel etc. along with the weatherproof box mounted in front for tools, lawn chairs etc. With removal of the box, the trailer can be stowed vertically when not in use. I can sell configured a number of different ways including a plywood floor, no front box and no motorcycle capability to as-is. Unfortunately, I only have a couple of pictures of the car which gives an idea of the trailer in the background. It is stored for the winter, but I can get some more pictures over the holiday. Will sell as-is with all accessories for $500. The diamond plate flooring and front box cost more than that alone. Can also deliver or meet at a reasonable distance from northern Illinois.

All of the folks who say "its really easy and takes only 45 minutes" are using 3m wire splice doodads on the wire harness just behind the connectors that come out of the IC. I wired everything back to the main wiring junction box which is buried high up on the drivers side kick panel (above the hood release). Finding and ohming out the correct terminal blocks, routing the wires and making it look oem took a really long time. As it is, I still did not install the turn signal stalk control, and did not remove the glove box to hook up the alarm code wire. If you want to do the "right" way, I can send you some details on what I did.

#4. Re: Kosei K'1 Wheels - People still like them? - from Shane Kleinpeter

I've had a single set of Kosei K1's that I've used on track since 2002 on my JP/ITS car. I've never had issues with bending or breaking them. However, I did switch them to rain tire duty a couple years back because I had issues with the lug holes not being large enough for my studs, which take 19mm nuts. I had to bore out the lug holes with a dremel tool to be able to even get a thin-wall socket on the nut. Since then I haven't had to use them much, but it was a real pain to get them so I could use them.

#7. Coolant sensor & gauge wiring S50 w/ S52 head - from Walter J
Top
Date: Fri, 14 Dec 2007 09:34:05 -0500 From: "Walter J" <walter.gator@gmail.com> Subject: Coolant sensor & gauge wiring S50 w/ S52 head A little back story: - A friend of mine had his head crack and so we sourced a clean S52 head and dropped it onto his S50 block. - The S52 uses a 4 pin (dual) temp sensor via a single port in the head to feed the CPU and gauge - The S50 uses 2 separate sensors to do the same job - I *could* just buy an S52 sensor and patch the wiring but... I have the sensor that the original CPU used installed in the head and, in theory, I only really care that the CPU gets a proper signal for controlling the mixture. Since we are using its original sender - it will be fine. That leaves the gauge... does anyone know if the gauge signal is the same as the one expected by the CPU? Or, to phrase better... does anyone know if the two in the S50 OBDI head have the same relative signal output such that feeding both from the same sending unit would work? My only real concern here is that the load from the gauge will sink the CPU signal and cause the software to dump fuel - but I secretly suspect that they use 2 senders only to dumb down the gauge's response to change and that by piggybacking the CPU signal I would get a real fluctuating needle on the dash in place of that numb "normal or overheated" reading we have now (albeit maybe out of range for the dash unit).
