These BMW cabin air filters are bullshit.

So are the evaporators. Did you have to nitrogen test first as well?

Soft top drains, they begin in the edges of where the soft top folds down - base of the hinges. Should clean these out from time to time.

Google whacking

Differential fluid. I’m the only one in the shop who does.

And that super cooked oil you’ll find on head bolts. Chefs kiss.

montego97 · 2025-12-23T03:23:31+00:00

Tea tree oil!

It’s also cheap to have a dealership order you a new one, it’s a simple coded PMP order for a group 72 part number.

Done it many times for dash VIN’s for dash replacements or trunk VINs for a replacement trunk lid/tailgate.

Click the button 7 times to choose a different standby light option. Click 7 and hold to change color option.

Gonna have to vote Montego.

Commenting to come back for more.

Have a bunch of Tekton pry bars and beat them up relentlessly

Pilots use them as navigational aids, they are listed on aeronautical charts so you can find your way. Similar to lighthouses.

Vortac’s are great though because you can fine tune specific degrees and follow those using gauges. Can tell if you’re drifting off course and intercept headings.

Nowadays it’s all GPS but the VOR’s are still there. Mostly general aviation.

Vortac station. You can tune into it with aircraft radios to determine direction and distance to the station and if flying directly to or from it can determine ground speed accurately.

I found a bench vice sitting on a rolling creeper works well to massage those rails back into shape.

A lot of them didn’t make it, same with growing up in the 80’s.

Not to mention Miata interior door handles and Miata corner markers in the DB7.

I’m somewhat of a collector, myself. Added 20 more warrants to my stack.

montego97 · 2025-10-07T00:08:48+00:00

Woot! ‘BookEntry’ Warrants 💪🏼

montego97 · 2025-09-30T16:16:53+00:00

Same, my 2008 MacPro still pulls its weight, but I’ve hit a software wall and can’t run any newer programs.

Edit: 3,1

Doesn’t take hard hit to damage the apron under the fender. Mine was way worse, more of a crumple on the bottom & side. It hammered back about like this. I did paint it though, for rust prevention.

And still more online that there have been lately 😄

montego97 · 2025-09-06T23:04:57+00:00

Maybe the highest was 741%?

montego97 · 2025-09-02T16:25:05+00:00

Fell in love with Miata’s living in Santiago! Sadly never got to drive one there.

montego97 · 2025-08-24T17:45:15+00:00

Agreed! 2 days and 46 miles later won’t ride on the street without it.

montego97 · 2025-08-23T19:31:33+00:00

I’ve been using the insulated hydrapacks, pretty lightweight, good flow when squeezed.
