Thanks again! The Supersprint will get installed on the Slicktop once I renew the head. Day 1: LSD, Stromung, Hawk rear pads and wheels/tires swapped. Found one of the rear tires has a blister. Lucky I have a spare of the same tire.size. Tomorrow, fluids, sound and filters. Mount replacement tire. Extra credit will be to replace the trim panel under the wipers if there is still light.

I don't know about yours, but mine is covered in oil/grease or god knows what. And it seems to be the biggest fire hazard under the car. | | | 05-20-2015, 12:10 AM | #66 | Senior Member Join Date: Feb 2012 Location: Sacramento, CA Posts: 2,451 | Just looking at mine this weekend. It is sagging like some headliners I've seen. However, it seemed to do no harm and if it keeps my butt cooler...

The hands free unit works well and the Bluetooth connection to my iPhone work well and clear. The TuneIT app makes profiling and setting sound preferences easy. The CD43 will go to the 97 Slicktop. I actually like the simple styling of the CD43. I just wanted a few more functions and never use the CD. Plus added a little Bling to the steering wheel.

Found not 1, not 2, not 3 but 4 shorts. So that might have been causing some of my electrical gremlins. | | | 05-21-2015, 08:25 PM | #69 | Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2013 Location: Germany Posts: 375 | Washed the TI properly today for the first time this year - got offered 3k bucks right after. Guess I should wash it more often. __________________ Want car parts?

- Washed and scrubbed the Cali fabric and sealed it. Should be good for the season.
- Finished up the in-car camera mount.
- Moved sunroof cassettes over to storage clearing out the Garage.
- Getting ready for the Bimmerfest drive.
Perhaps I should wash the car... __________________ 1998 318ti Sport - "Cali" Schwartz II/Schwartz sport interior, Cali top 1998 318ti Sport - "Max" Schwartz II/Schwartz sport interior, S52 1997 318ti Sport - "Tiny" Schwartz II/Schwartz sport interior 1995 318ti Active - "Blanca" Alpineweib III/Schwartz leather interior Other Current Bimmers: 2006 530i / 2000 2.3L Z3 / 1997 1.9L Z3 / 1999 540it 1997 318ti Sport - "Huera" - RIP 1995 318ti Active - RIP 1995 318ti Sport - "Tiny" Sold 1994 325i Sedan - "Jade" - Sold 1991 318ic - "Bert" - Sold 1985 635csi sold 1984 533i "Max" Sold 1984 318i sold BMWCCA #160411 SUPPORT 318ti.org!

Mismatched rears, but they sound good enough for the quick commute back and forth to work. Ordered a set of Infinity Reference 5.25" replacements for the 4" Fosgate and Kenwood speakers back there now. __________________ 1998 318ti Sport - "Cali" Schwartz II/Schwartz sport interior, Cali top 1998 318ti Sport - "Max" Schwartz II/Schwartz sport interior, S52 1997 318ti Sport - "Tiny" Schwartz II/Schwartz sport interior 1995 318ti Active - "Blanca" Alpineweib III/Schwartz leather interior Other Current Bimmers: 2006 530i / 2000 2.3L Z3 / 1997 1.9L Z3 / 1999 540it 1997 318ti Sport - "Huera" - RIP 1995 318ti Active - RIP 1995 318ti Sport - "Tiny" Sold 1994 325i Sedan - "Jade" - Sold 1991 318ic - "Bert" - Sold 1985 635csi sold 1984 533i "Max" Sold 1984 318i sold BMWCCA #160411 SUPPORT 318ti.org!

Way too strong for my liking, but oh well. Pretty much needs both hands to close. Also discovered my car (7/96 build date) has a 1/97+ (according to realoem) exhaust manifold. It has an OEM-looking block off plate for the secondary air hole though, so pretty sure it's original. 96's are weird. __________________ 1997 318ti 5-speed Moreagrün 1996 318ti auto Hellrot (retired) | | | 06-04-2015, 01:43 AM | #73 | Member Join Date: Jan 2015 Location: Maine Posts: 55 | Placed a 10" sub in a custom fiberglass box I made into the space usually occupied by the tool kit and spare tire.
