    gt seats

    If you get it done, could you save me a piece (1"x1") of the old leather so I can get a color match? I'll let the forum know the number they give me for future reference. thanks Dan

    Navigation Magellan vs. Garmin

    I just got an 880 to mount in our MINI Cooper. The voice command functions work pretty well assuming the radio isn't too loud. Its the main reason to buy this model. If you don't want the voice commands a 770/780 could be had for much cheaper. I don't have any experience with the Magellan...

    gt seats

    Does anyone know a source for touchup dye for the Sparco seats? I've got a small flaw I'd like to try to fix, but I'm afraid to just get "generic black" dye. I don't know if there is enough scrap leather under the seat that I could send a sample to Leatherique for a custom color match.. Is...

    We're not the only ones with Goodyear problems

    The tires didn't help. They had to have "competion yellows" every 10-12 laps for the race.. Made it pretty boring. A 8 lap shoot out at the end. Indy sure does have bad luck with tire mfgrs. Remember the F1 race a few years back with 7 or 8 cars?

    Jeremy Clarkson's GT on new season Top Gear - BBC America

    I think I saw that too on the next top gear (7/29/08). Be aware that they are re-airing season opener of 2006 episodes now, not new 2008 episodes.

    Oil filter warning

    Here is a link to an '06 E46 330i cap. It lists for $27. Are they looking up the right part number? The whole assembly is $300. I'm not sure if this the "right" one or not... just using it as an example http://www.realoem.com/bmw/showparts.do?model=BD53&mospid=47713&btnr=11_2201&hg=11&fg=30

    Danica snippy nonsense

    Can you imagine what would happen if she hit another driver and that driver smacked her back? Not to her, but the other driver would be fried for hitting a girl... Hope they are smart enough not to do anything but block....

    How Many GT Owners Ordered Their GT Direct

    Ordered mine the way I wanted it. I got mine thru Ebay. A nearby Wisconsin dealer got an allocation and decided to ebay it. I won the auction and was able to adjust the order how I wanted it. 06 Blue, no stripes, std wheels, no mac, red brakes. I was very happy to get what I wanted and...

    Owner Review: GT vs. Porsche GT3 RS (Long, with Photos)

    Great review! I don't know if this was done on purpose, but did you know a ruby IS a sapphire? It's just a red sapphire... I think it makes your point even better.

    Sparco/Silver Grommets

    Assuming they are the std grommets just painted silver, has anyone taken a seat apart? I'd be interested in doing mine but haven't looked into how to take the seat apart yet. I also wonder if the stock grommets can be removed from the seat or if they would be destroyed trying to remove them...

    Engine Casting

    Off topic a bit, but if you want to watch state of the art engine block mfg, watch the BMW ultimate factory show. BMW firsts casts an aluminum cylinder bore section and then puts that into another mold and injects molton magnesium into the mold in about 1/10th of a second! It bonds the mag and...
