[gomango]

Just a quick hello to all,brought a 350i last weekend and coming over from the American scene(Chrysler)what a tool,got it at a good price with a few things to do so no doubt will be asking all the normal questions.

Hi Peter and welcome. what year is your car?

[gomango]

1989 Monza Red,Cream interior,needs Two Tyres,Exhaust repair(sleeve for now)Crankshaft Pulley Damper has a mind of its own,Centre Dash needs new veneer,thats about it.At the moment I have got a nasty Back injury(have not rode my Busa for Three months!!)but I find the wedge easier to get into than my everyday motor,another plus point for the Wedge even if it is on all fours!!!!!

Nice colours.

I've got a bad back too. Aggravated it last time contorted over the driver seat with my head in the wiring under the dash! Sounds like there's not too much on your list. See you at the BBWF?

Hi Mango - good switch from Yank to Wedge - you can really feel the power!!

[gomango]

Do not Think I will get to Wedgefest,can only walk about 50 yards without Pain, Just got 2 Tyres on the front(pirelli p6000 all round)what a difference to the ride,Is the back end of a Wedge meant to be rock hard?,there is no give at all,also are the Lights meant to pop up when you flash someone? I know that they are daft questions but I am really new to these beasts.

Limiting the travel at the rear elongates the lifespan of the driveshaft uj's I reckon. You might investigate your springing at some point to see if the platforms are adjustable.

Yep, flashing, hmmm. You could rewire the flash switch to illuminate the fog lights instead. Better get a copy of 'the bible' and study some wiring...
