    Hey Joe!

     

    Yes, our site is a hybrid of public and private forums... we still love to have visitors and are still very interested in inter-club events where feasible.

     

    Our club calendar and events forums are visible to visitors though, so you can still see what we're "up to". :top:

     

    Thanks for stopping by! :wavey:

    Lunch will be very simple....sub sandwich kind of simple. I'll supply 2 kinds of soda...Coke and ? Mountain Dew? Ginger ale? Tell me. Maybe I'll even spring for cookies...:rofl:
    Ooh - Mountain Dew, please! :D

  4. My front tag mod. Now you see it...

    in Maintenance & Modifications

    Posted

    I just ordered one via Amazon.com. That is just way too cool to ignore. I recently had the aero kit installed, and I bought a really nice tow hook mount for the license plate, so there are no holes in the bumper... but this solution is so much more elegant!

     

    I wonder if we can get away with driving around with the plate retracted?

     

    If we get pulled over, we can quickly hit the button to put it back out. Hehehe.

  8. Nitrogen at MoS

    in Maintenance & Modifications

    Posted

    Kurt - question regarding the MoS Nitrogen service... does it include "top-up" refills for the life of the tires?

     

    Just curious. I think I saw that somewhere online (from a BMW dealership, I believe) when I did some browsing on this.

     

    Obviously, part of the idea with Nitrogen is that there will be less leakage (as the molecules are larger... no smaller Oxygen molecules in the gas mix to leak out)... but eventually, over time, the tires will probably need a top-up. It would be nice to know I wouldn't have to pay another $69 to do it - at least until I get new tires again.

  9. Low beam adjustment (standard)

    in Maintenance & Modifications

    Posted

    Yes I did.

     

    1) I have standard headlights.

     

    2) I know when they are too low.

     

    3) You have not seen my headlights.

     

    If you don't want to answer the question then don't.

    Jim,

     

    It was a friendly question. No need to be snappy. I wasn't trying to be smart-ass. :rolleyes:

     

    I hope someone here can help you, but a tech question like this will probably be easier to answer via NAM. You said you already searched there, but if you didn't find what you wanted, I suggest posting the same question (if you already haven't).

  12. Factory Xenon headlight adjustment

    in Maintenance & Modifications

    Posted

    The light pattern for the Xenons is deliberately different between the driver's side and passenger's side, from the factory.

     

    The driver's side cuts off lower than the passenger's side. Why?

     

    2 reasons:

     

    1) So the driver's headlight doesn't blind oncoming traffic, nor cars directly in front of you (in their rear view mirror). After all, Xenons are exceedingly bright.

    2) So the passenger's headlight can help illuminate road signs at greater distances.

     

    While there may indeed have been a problem with your headlights, I have to express concern that you may have actually fixed a problem that wasn't there.

     

    Of course, I didn't see it for myself, so I wouldn't really know, would I. :D

  15. Radar detector wiring

    in Maintenance & Modifications

    Posted

    If any one needs help doing this or some other stuff I could help you out. Just wired in my Valtentine 1 today and doing my laser jammers in the next week or two. Been aircraft mechanic for 5 years and beening doing car stereo for over 6 years on and off. Was kind of a pain in the arse until I found a good power source.
    Did you end up using the wiring from the cabin light, up in the headliner? That's how my V1 is wired in... although I didn't do it myself (nor is it wired with just the regular V1 hardwiring kit - ever heard of the StealthOne?).

     

    I of course haven't posted about this on NAM, since it is a public forum... and RDs aren't exactly legal here in VA, are they. :angel:

  18. FS: Silver Interior Trim

    Posted

    Aircraft mechanic and also teach at a school for Airframe and Powerplant degree. I know how to do fiberglass, kelar. carbon fiber, painting, sheet metal. The school also lets me use there paint shop.
    Awesome... if I don't get a good answer (for a small mod I want) from the "paint guy" that is associated with the dealer, I may ask you for your input on how feasible it is.

     

    It's just painting of a few interior bits... :)
