When I was part of the e39 forum group - there was a guy on there that did a 427 swap into a e39 wagon with a 6 speed. That thing was awesome looking and a real sleeper for the ricer crowd! Had a personalized plate from VA "E39 427"
Good luck, MD and Northern VA construction zones sucked earlier this week! Fuel cost all the way down seemed similar to what you see on the NJ Turnpike!
Completed my quick jaunt to Florida to pick a new toy - was a mere 2970ish miles in 4 days to run down and return home! Tahoe ran great - was impressed by it's ability to get into the right gear (Shout out to @BlackBearPerf ) for the up and down climbs on the way south. Was a bigger chore...
I grew up in Tampa and my family are now all in Wesley Chapel/Zephyrhills area. Will be doing a turn and burn to grab the car and head out early for home. I lived in Orlando and left during Covid - I really remember why I left central Florida after being there for a bit of time. St Pete has...
Yep, I have it stored at my brother's house at the moment. Gotta get me a 4 post lift now to stack the Mustang and the Karmann Ghia in my garage - thankfully, I got like 14ft ceilings with a 24 depth from the door.
Same boat for me - I will be heading to Florida to pickup a semi restored VW Karmann Ghia I purchased last month. Looking forward to the 2 day cruise down, sitting on the couch of a seat, and cruising along peacefully. Last time I made this trip, little over 1300 miles - one way so should be a...
Keep an eye on your dash - there is a oil pressure gauge in left up corner. Feel free to reach out with the computer stuff too - I am in IT as well and have done the BBP tune as well as setup a nano interface for the OBD port. Where are you located?
The tune from BlackBear Performance is less than $600 and it tunes out DoD via ECM - for a stock truck, the biggest thing I noticed with my tunes was the tranny stopped hunting for the right gear when going up and down hills. Its going to get a test next month as I need to pull a Karmann Ghia...
Good lord, that is a lot of hours, sitting idle! I think you win the award for the most engine hours in the forum - I thought I had a lot of them....Jeebus. I would recommend getting a tune to get rid of DoD (cylinder de-activation) if a top end rebuild is not in the cards at the moment. Keep an...
Mine was done last year some time - took me longer to find a dealer to do the work and drive there than what it took for them to complete...In and out!!!
Replaced dying battery today with AGM. TBH, I believed the previous owner put in a dodgy battery however, once I got the old one pulled-it doesn't owe me a damn thing...Date on the battery was 11/2018 and that was in the harsh Arizona climate then to a pretty cold climate. Seems to spin the...
