DIY 318 - 325 Engine Conversion and M3 Full Replica
Hi Everyone,
Ive been signed up to this forum for some time now, I will admit im shy dont ask many questions and read other peoples threads for the answers im after!
I have owned my 2000 reg E46 coupe for 4 years now and have recently completed an engine swap, from a 4 cylinder 1.9 M43 engine to a 2.5 M54 6 cylinder engine.
I have converted the body panels to genuine M3 ones, and re-sprayed the whole car in a white and black two tone theme.
I have done ALL the work myself, welding, painting, electrical, mechanical etc... start to finish.
I thought as I have been finding answers to the questions I needed on here over the past few years I think perhaps its time I tried to give a little back by answering any questions you guys may have on anything I have done. I will post photos on here if anyone is interested and a load of info on how to perform an engine swap etc....
Let me know Stuart.
Stuart post some pics, sounds like a cool project.
Thought I'd add some pics to get started:
looks good. i was expecting an m3 engine in there. still looks great. good work. id personally paint the hood white and leave the roof black but thats just me.
M3 engine would have been nice!, unfortunately the price of them is ridiculous! that engine was approx £600 (900 USD) delivered with 80K miles on it.
I changed a few parts like all the rubber boots, hoses etc... and rebuilt the VANOS unit using besian systems kit.
I'd be extremely grateful of any info you could give me. I've pm'd you aswell!
Im getting excited after reading this thread haha.
This is a very nice and tidy car, good job matey. PM me with any tips about forced induction kits, was looking at the bmc cda. I also have the 2.0 16 v engine and want it be a little fast but without replacing the engine. Any tips let me know please. Thank you. Neil
Very clean!! Why didn't you at least go with a 3.0L? Seriously an awesome project though, you clearly know what you are doing- it shows!
Stuart.. in the UK do you have to approve any changes made to the vehicle? if so, can you please pm me with what changes you have made to your suspension, brakes, etc :)
would really appreciate it mate
Hi Guys,
Sorry for the very late reply, the thread didnt appear to get much interest so havent looked here in a while! I will try to answer as many questions as I can (I'm still learning too!)
To reply to the info regarding the conversion:
Well essentially the hardest part of the whole conversion is getting a complete ECU kit, i.e. the DME (or ecu) the MATCHING EWS unit (the ews and DME are coded together, either is useless if the other is missing!) and finally the MATCHING key for the EWS! dont listen to any rubbish about the key being paired with the DME its NOT! I have alot of information on the immobiliser for this car and I must say its a very clever system!
Mechanically as you know the engine will fit into the shell, there are unused studs and mount points some of which you keep others you now use.... (i had to look at alot of pictures!) You will need the 6cyl gearbox and the propshaft and gear linkage, i chose to keep the 318 diff and half shafts..... i was lazy lol! i have the 325 rear end parts in the garage still!
Some attention has to be paid to the cooling system, you will need two new radiator hoses (top and bottom) a new header tank (on the 16v 2.0 i think the header tank is the same as the 6 cyl) and another hose that is the return feed from the heater matrix, also you will need the feed and return pipes from the steering rack and the return pipe from the pas cooling ring in front of the radiator.
Air con is pretty simple, just one pipe is required that is a shorter version as the 6 cyl block is longer. and also a 6cyl anti roll bar or sway bar. I think thats about it.
All the engine bay electrics are different, they are simple factory harnesses that are easily sourced. The drive by wire need to be installed! thats 6 wires! and a few other wires for the cruise control as the DME controls the cruise and not the separate unit as before.
I didnt do the 3.0 litre as I couldnt find one for a decent price! the 2.5 set me back £500 and was a bit of a bargain!
With regards to approving changes.... it really does depend, the V5 registration certificate should be updated with the new engine details and capacity, this WILL change the road tax duty band! also the insurance company may demand the car is inspected (called an engineers inspection) this will check the quality of work done to the car, only then will the insurance company be happy to cover you, it really does vary with insurer though!
Suspension is still factory fitted AC schnitzer springs and shocks, its lowered about 30mm i think? Brakes are standard 318 front and back however have everything to convert to 325. any thing else you want to know give me a shout!
Some pics of the CAI I fitted at the end of the summer:
M3 Xenon bracket and cover, very cheap mod less than £10!
Bracket fitted to Xenon unit
Trial fit of carbon fiber intake!
Measuring up for a haircut!
Intake tube was a bargain £30 from ebay, just required some chopping!
cool project........ looks good !!!
Do you have any pics of when you did the rear wheel arches !!!
Hi Wilawok,
To be honest I didnt take many pictures during the conversion and it was almost 2.5 years ago so cant remember where they all are but I have found a few and put them up.
Hope they are of use, i went for changing the complete quarter panel as its the best way to get an OEM finish! this was time consuming and a bit of a pain to do in places but as long as you have a spot weld drill and some thin cutting discs its not too bad!
Before work started
Strating to cut away the passenger quarter panel, its a bit fiddly as its brazed on in a few places (under the light cluster, and the bottom corner of the rear window)
The car looks a bit of a wreck now! but it has to get worse to get better!
This was doing the drivers side, i managed to get a second hand brand new panel from a garage which bought it in for an insurance repair job on a real M3, all they done was cut a section out by the light! so I stripped the paint of the original panel and cut to fit flush, and seam welded, with a bit of patients it came out perfect!
after welding, pre prep work before spraying.
Looks very well done, second to none infact. I'd love to be able to carry out work like this to this sort of standard, maybe i will bite the bullet and just go for it, theres no way in hell i could do the sort of bodywork changes youve done with one of the reasons being that i cannot weld lol, but maybe the mechanical/electrical side of things are a bit more of my thing!
Did all the interior electrics function as normal? No fault codes being thrown?
I dont suppose you'd be intrested in selling it haha? [<< serious question]
Thankyou for sharing the pics and knowledge mate.
Beautiful conversion, looks really clean
looks realy clean, great work!!!
Hi James,
Yes surprisingly pretty much everything worked perfectly.
The ECU and car electronics are pretty much completely separate and swapping the ECU appeared to have no affect whatsoever.
One to to bear in mind though is the instrument cluster will need re-programming to 6 cylinder spec. This is due to the temperature gauge, the 6 cylinder engines run significantly cooler then the 4 cylinder engines, from what I understand (read it somewhere) this is to improve engine emissions on the older 4 cylinder engine.
I originally thought this was due to the head and block both being aluminum on the 6 cly and needing to run cooler. but they should expand at the same rate being the same material! so its nothing to do with the head gasket as far as i know. the 4cyl 1.9 has an aluminum head and cast iron block so i would expect issues with the head gasket but after 80K it was still going strong!
Anyways im rabbling on a bit off subject here!
One important thing I would like to mention is the ASC/DSC my car in an early 1999 model, fitted with ASC.
The ECU/DME I fitted was designed to work with DSC, if any keen eyed spotters have noticed after around 2002 the ABS/traction control module was moved next to the brake servo on the drivers side. (and not by the engine electronics box on the passenger side!)
Im unsure about the reason for this, I would imagine its very difficult to change in its old location! anyways I thought the ASC would not work! I was proved wrong, luckily everything works! ABS and traction control!
It would appear the traction control and ABS messages on the CAN bus are the same for ASC and DSC so luckily all is ok! I must admit it has got me out of a few sticky situations before and im very happy I didnt have to retrofit DSC!
As far as throwing codes? none that are an issue, I had a couple to start with but they were because I plugged the oxygen sensors in wrong! :rolleyes:
Apart from that works really well, the ECU keeps itself to itself pretty much, the only communication it does with the car is via the CAN BUS which is between the ASC/DSC and the instrument cluster, this transmits information in digital format like RPM, engine temp, and the 'engine retardation' messages sent from the ASC/DSC to stop the engine revving or to reduce power output if the wheels spin up etc...
About selling.... well I have recently become a proud father and I'm after a more family orientated car so yes im willing to sell if the price is right! Im open to offers on the car and hope any offer that is made will reflect the amount of time I have put into this car and more importantly its a bit of a one off (very cheap insurnace for a 325... sorry 318! ;) lol)
Thankyou for that indepth explanation... appreciate it :D!
To tell you the truth after doing alot of research over the last couple of days and confident that everything will work ok, i think i may give it a shot and go with the s54 lump. Only reason being is that i have access to a donor m3 if needed for a VERY good price.
But i may still be interested in yours as its a very nice example, i understand the amount of work you've put into it, so pm roughly what your looking for it, i wouldnt want to offend with a low offer lol
cheers again...
yea if he wanted to add another 0 on the end of that $900 he paid for the engine he has

- - 2015 Never Summer Ripsaw review (http://www.snowboardingforum.com/neversummer/117337-2015-never-summer-ripsaw-review.html)
2015 Never Summer Ripsaw review
Hi All,
I recently bought a 2015 limited run Never Summer Ripsaw 156. I thought I would post a brief review in case it might help others considering it.
I'm about 185lbs, 5'9", with a size 10 Burton Driver X, and Burton Diode bindings riding at +18F/-9B angles. My riding style is very aggressive and I tend to charge most runs at full throttle. I race boardercross when the opportunity arises and competed HP/Slopestyle for my college snowboard team back in the day when I was a young buck. My last board was a K2 Slayblade 158 and before that, a whole bunch of Salomons (got them for pennies or sometimes free).
In a nutshell, this board is like having your own little pet monster. I have lapped Killington and Jay Peak on this through 2 pow days last week, and a bunch of groomers and a few park runs thrown in. Its my first NS board so maybe other owners already know this but...I don't think I've ever ridden a board that holds an edge as good as this one. On an early morning corduroy run, I basically laid down full body rooster tails the whole way without the deck even hinting of washing out. The pop off lips on park kickers was like raw kangaroo meat. Made me wish I would have done more squats at the gym last summer.
We had a pretty solid storm system come through last week so I rode the board in 2 days of pow too. The float on it was ... meh. I think the Slayblade floated a little better but at the same time, my stance was set back about .5 inches on that board and I'm totally centered on the Ripsaw. I'm not sure .5 inches would make that big of a difference though. Also, it has zero forgiveness. If you get lazy on this, you WILL be punished. Catching edges at speed almost happened so I found myself having to really concentrate the whole time, especially in the trees. Its was a more intense experience for sure...almost zen-like but not laid back at all. The board wants to charge full speed at everything all the time. I'm not sure how fast I got it up to but suffice to say I don't think I felt a limit or high speed chatters...even through crud.
All in all, the ripsaw is a very aggressive board for hard-charging riders. For my style of riding; its definitely the best board I've ever owned.
Hope this helps anyone considering it for their next axe. Cheers,
Thanks for the input. Got a question myself lol. Anyone know why the Ripsaw isn't a part of the Carbonium topsheet series? I think it's a big selling point that they decided against. I was always a big fan of the added durability it offers.
Just got a 159 RipSaw today. Will be in JayPeak next Monday thanks for your review
FWIW I didn't find the Ripsaw to be the least bit unforgiving.
What board were you coming from? When I went from Arbor rocker back to the NS crc I felt the board was unforgiving. But after one day it was normal again and I didn't get that feeling. I'm wondering if coming from the flat slayblade is what caused this sensation.
I'm pretty sure the only other board I'd ridden this season was an SL.
Not to threadjack, but just recieved my 159 Ripsaw, and figured I would give you my thoughts as well.
I am 5'10, 202 lbs.
Been snowboarding since '89. I ride pretty much all the resort runs from Green through Blacks. Will ride the small, to medium boxes at times, but 90% of my time is spent charging all mountain.
Current board (besides Ripsaw) 2012-13 Heritage 162.
Past boards:
Flow Drifer 158(hated this board)
Burton Hero 158 (v-Rocker)
Burton Custom 158 (camber)
Burton Baron 160
Couple old burton boards (Asym-air, Twisted, Craig Kelly) All Camber
1/7/2014 Keystone Front Mountain, North Peak about 12 runs total. Packed powder conditions in the morning, icy spots on the steeper stuff mid day.
Bindings/Boots - 2012 Flow NXT-AT, Salomon Synapse Boots
Let me start by saying my Heritage is my favorite board I have ever owned, and any direct comparison will be to that board. I wanted to check out the Rip Saw, because I always liked Camber boards, and liking the Heritage, I figured I would see what Never Summer was trying to do.
Unboxing it, you are immediately greeted by the usual high quality you would expect from Never Summer, and I expect this board will hold up very well. I really like the look of the board, and having spent much of my life in construction like the "Rip Saw" name. I know I am probably alone in that, but to me it seems rugged.
First impression on first ride was that it seemed stiffer than the heritage, not just lengthwise (Butters), but also torsionally between the feet. This may be attributed to the shorter length than I am now used to, but it was something I noticed right away. (I see that the Rip Saw is rated a 7 for flex as opposed to the Heritages 6, but the difference seemed greater than what I would have guessed was 1 point). Oh, and also that the board is not going to win any awards for being lightweight. While I did not weigh it, it actually seemed kind of heavy. That heavy feeling goes away as soon as you start riding, but I am just mentioning what I remember.
The board was very playful, and definitely exhibited more pop than the Heritage. You would expect that with the increased Camber, and it did not disappoint. It transitioned quickly from edge to edge, and turned smoothly. There was no hint of catching edges for me, until the very end of the day when I was tired, and getting lazy. On one run while cruising a flat area, I felt the tail tug a little, as it caught it's rear edge. Nothing violent, and easily correctable, but it was there. That was the only time I ever felt anything like this, and as I said I was being lazy, and just cruising pretty flat at that point. By contrast, I know I would not have had that tug with the Heritage. The different bottom profiles allows me to sometimes be lazy, with little fear of repercussion.
Now for the best part, this board likes to move. It handled speed very well even transitioning through the changing, end of the day, soft chop, and ice of River Run. It holds an edge incredibly well, and has enough damping so you do not feel pretty moderate chop. While I did not measure the speed, of course, it went as fast as I could go without a hint of washout, or any instability at all. The board breeds confidence, it literally just carves into the mountain. If there is any one thing I took away from this first day ride it is that this board sticks. Just point it where you want it to go, and it will get you there.
Overall, I really liked this board, though in the end, I can't say it has supplanted my Heritage as best board. It is different for sure. I think the Heritage is easier to ride, and maybe more versatile, though I can't pinpoint why I feel that way yet. The Rip Saw is an impressive board for sure, and in time I may find I prefer the carving ability I perceived during this first outing. I will add to this as I go, but color me impressed with the Rip Saw as a start.
Can you tell what bindings/boots you ran? And out of curiousity boot size?

"Wherever you are, help is on its way!"
John Flynn was born on November 25, 1880 in Moliagul, Central Victoria. His mother died when he was two years old, leaving his father to raise his family in the bush.
His first ambition was to become a church minister. He pursued his goal and studied at Melbourne University for minister qualifications.
Whilst he was working as a minister, an opportunity popped up concerning the bush people and how the church could help. Flynn happily accepted this opportunity to get involved. His outstanding report convinced the church leaders to allow him to proceed with his ideas and suggestions.
The first year was a great success, 255 patients' lives were saved by Dr. St. Vincent Welch. That is 255 lives saved because of John Flynn's consideration.
"He had a deep practical concern about the needs of bush people, and the graves in the inland of people who should never have died worried him." (McKay)
The medical flight service was very successful except for the one problem of people not being able to communicate. This problem was soon solved by the introduction of pedal powered radio communications and the establishment of an aerial medical service.
In 1934 the flying doctor service of Australia was officially established (the "Royal" was added at the beginning in 1955).
John Flynn married Jean Blanch Baird at the age of 51 in 1932. She was appointed secretary of the flying doctor service and helped her husband pursue his goal of helping disadvantaged people in the Australian outback. On the 5th of May, 1951, John Flynn died of cancer. For such a fine man, he didn't deserve to die of cancer. John Flynn is a true hero in my eyes and not just a stereotypical celebrity.
"Hero definition: 'A man of distinguished courage or performance, admired for his noble qualities'."
John Flynn fits this definition with no doubts. He definitely showed courage and is admired by myself, fellow citizens and others for his amazing, noble qualities. Establishing 15 hospitals in rural areas of Australia, only a hero would do that. Writing a book, The Bushman's Companion, to benefit and assist the lives of people in the outback, only a hero would do that. Not giving up when hardships occur, only a hero would do that. Establishing the Australian Royal Doctor Flying Service, only a hero would do that! John Flynn will forever be a hero for Australians and many others around the world.
Royal Flying Doctor Service
is a non-profit organization that provides excellence in aero-medical and primary health care across Australia .

what a horrible story. I wonder what the circumstances were surrounding the shooting?
This is a discussion on BAD: Vet killed in Alaska within the In the News: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly forums, part of the The Back Porch category; Never a dearth of BG's FOXNews.com - Soldier Back From Iraq Shot Dead on Alaska Streets by Newly Released Felon - Local News | News ...
what a horrible story. I wonder what the circumstances were surrounding the shooting?

Home > National News > Article
The Federal Government is on course to collect a second big budget surplus going into next year's election.
Its own budget figures show that its forecasts now imply a tax rise of just over 2 per cent, far less than its likely revenue haul.
Last week's budget outcome released by Treasurer Peter Costello showed that tax revenue on the Government's definition rose 8.8 per cent in the 2002-03 financial year. Yet on the same basis, the budget estimates now project increases of just 2.1 per cent this financial year.
Total growth in revenue, which as defined by the Government was 7.8 per cent in 2002-03, would plunge to just 1.9 per cent in 2003-04.
But conversely, spending growth would have to treble from 1.6 per cent last financial year to 5.2 per cent this year, requiring the Government to take off the screws it has applied across the board.
The May budget announced tax cuts worth $2.5 billion, which slices revenue growth by 1.4 percentage points. That still leaves a huge gap which - with the domestic economy now running hot - suggests Treasury's estimates in May are now hugely understated.
The Government needs revenue to grow by only a relatively modest 5 per cent this financial year to run up a second windfall surplus of $7.5 billion, the same size as this year, rather than the $2.2 billion officially forecast.
The same applies in 2004-05, the year when any pre-election tax cuts would kick in. Treasury's preliminary projections imply revenue growth that year of just 3.8 per cent, less than half this year's growth rate.
Assuming 5 per cent revenue growth in both years would give the Government a starting surplus of $9.3 billion to give away to voters in some form, far more than the $1.3 billion now projected.
If spending growth again falls short of the forecast, the Government would have an even higher starting point.
Westpac economists last week forecast surpluses of about $6 billion for both 2003-04 and 2004-05. "One option is for the Government to lower personal income tax, possibly by as much as $10 a week," said senior economist Andrew Hanlan.
But the Australian Council of Social Service has called on both parties to turn any further budget windfalls into higher spending on "our failing health, education and welfare services", such as public hospitals, public housing, public schools, nursing homes and the long-term unemployed.

EMT hurt in ambulance crash that traps man in car
The two vehicles collided and the ambulance struck a utility pole — cutting it into three pieces — and sheered off a fire hydrant
Lancaster Online
MANHEIM, Pa.— An ambulance and a car collided outside of Manheim late Saturday morning, trapping someone in the car for a time.
According to Northern Lancaster County Regional Police, a Subaru station wagon and a Warwick Community Ambulance both were traveling west on Doe Run Road. Police said the station wagon was in front of the ambulance, when the driver activated the car's left turn signal.
Police said the car started moving to the far right side of the road, and the ambulance attempted to pass it.

Airbus Military featured its A330 Multi Role Tanker Transport (MRTT) at this week's Dubai Airshow, underscoring the importance of this aircraft to its two Middle East operators, as well as for the region's aerial refuelling and airlift requirements.
To date, Airbus Military has delivered all three aircraft ordered by the United Arab Emirates Air Force and Air Defence – including the A330 MRTT displayed at Dubai World Central – as well as the initial batch of three for the Royal Saudi Air Force, which has six total tanker/transports on order.
The UAE – which received its latest A330 MRTT this summer – is engaged in training and qualification with receiver aircraft, including the F-16 Block 50 and Mirage 2000 fighters.
Underscoring the A330 MRTT's mission flexibility, UAE aircraft are equipped with two underwing hose and drogue refuelling pods, the under-fuselage centreline fly-by-wire Airbus Military Aerial Refuelling Boom System (ARBS), and a Universal Aerial Refuelling Receptacle Slipway Installation (UARRSI) that enables it to be refuelled from another tanker.
Saudi Arabia's Royal Saudi Air Force formally has accepted the first three of six A330 MRTTs ordered by this country, and utilised the aircraft to deploy eight Tornado and Typhoon fighters to the UK for Exercise Green Shield. They have the same refuelling systems at the UAE A330 MRTTs.
Derived from Airbus' successful A330 widebody twin-engine commercial airliner, the A330 MRTT is the world's most advanced air-to-air tanker and also offers strategic transport airlift capacity in addition to its refuelling capabilities. To date, 17 A330 MRTTs are in service with four customers – the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Australia and the UK.

'Willie & the Wheel II' Set to Arrive in May
'Willie & The Wheel' was such a success, they're doing it again.
When Willie Nelson and Ray Benson, leader and founder of Asleep at the Wheel, teamed up in 2009 for the 'Willie & The Wheel' album and tour, they said the collaboration was 30 years in the making. Their sequel, 'Willie & The Wheel II' will roll out a little quicker, with a May 2011 due date.
"We're calling it WWII and we'll have a World War II theme," Ray tells The Boot, sharing an early version of album artwork that showed the players in military uniforms. "We're going to have a lot of Western Swing and cuts from the '30s and '40s."
In fact, Benson, the Wheel and Willie have just about finalized seven of the 12 tunes planned for the record. The album is not only a lot of fun for the players, but satisfies a need for country music fans who want to hear more diverse sounds — such as Western Swing, Honky Tonk, and even songs more in the style of Johnny Cash's music — than are played on country radio.
"One of the great things about country [music] was always the diversity. Nashville doesn't know how to honor the diversity of country music now," says Ray noting that such luminaries as Alison Krauss, Gretchen Wilson and Willie aren't included in honors such as the CMA Awards often in favor of younger, more pop-oriented musicians. "It's now more of a business. Maybe it always was."
That's not to say that Ray doesn't like more pop-oriented country music and younger artists. He holds many younger artists — including Brad Paisley, who often hangs out and plays music with Opry legend Little Jimmy Dickens — in high regard.
"Brad is for real. He's the real thing," says Ray. "He is one of the brightest lights in country music today."
Asleep at the Wheel are currently on tour. For a complete list of dates and locales, check here.

Home › Forums › Gear Forums › Gear (General) › which bag – WM or FF?
Mar 11, 2012 at 4:56 pm #1286966
Please help me to decide which new sleeping bag to buy. I'm female, 5'8", 145lbs ish. I want a 20 degree down bag. I have a Rainbow tarptent and have a Prolite pad (R 2.8, although I'm considering a Neoair Allseason (R 4.9). (Xlite looks interesting but I want to see more reviews on it). I sleep cold. Main use would be the Sierras in July/August/Sept.
I'm looking at a WM Ultralight 6' bag, which has 16oz fill, wt 1 lb 14oz. The FF bag is women specific (Egret), 5'9", 17.1oz fill, wt 1 lb 15oz. I'm sure I could ask for fill to be added to either. Any opinions on these 2 bags?
I currently have an old Phantom 15 women's long, rated to 15 degrees, 2 lbs, and was chilly in that recently (35 degree night). Overall setup was different tho – I had a Fly Creek tent, and Exped Syn7 mat. Mat was leaky – but the chill was coming onto my back (side sleeper) not up from the ground, alleviated by using my down jacket over my back in the bag.
Thanks all.Mar 11, 2012 at 5:42 pm #1852152
I think you may need more than that to get you down to 20*. The Marmot Womens Helium is EN Rated for women at 19*F and it has 25.76oz of 850+ Fill Power Down. It weighs 2lbs 9oz. Women just tend to sleep colder than men and very few manufactures market according to the Women's rate.
For comparison the mens version of the Helium is 10 ounces lighter despite being 6 inches longer and only has 19.5oz of 850+ fill. It is rated to 16.3*F for men (and 27.7*F for women.).Mar 11, 2012 at 5:44 pm #1852153
Oh, and I don't think either of the bags you mentioned would be warmer than the Phantom 15 you had. They all have similar amounts of down fill.Mar 11, 2012 at 6:06 pm #1852168

I have a FF Grouse, which is their 30* women's bag. I've found their temperature rating to be spot on. I'm comfortable sleeping in light baselayers, no socks until about 37 degrees. Below that, I put on socks, midweight baselayers. Around 30*, I think about supplementing with a fleece. I also use the Prolite.
I considered WM and FF bags when I bought my Grouse and, for me, I found that the women's cut of the Grouse fit me significantly better. I personally think that the better fit contributes to better warmth, not to mention comfort. FWIW, I'm 5'2", 140lb and have the 5'3" Grouse and it's a perfect fit.
The Egret dimensions are 54/56/38. The Ultralite is 59/51/38.Mar 11, 2012 at 6:11 pm #1852171
eric chanBPL Member
the problem is that MH and many other manufactures rate the womens bags according to the mens lower limit ratings ….
women by default need another 10F+ over the mens temp ratings for a similar comfort level … the women comfort rating on a phantom 15 womens is ~25F … that is for a "standard" woman as well, individuals may well be colder depending on age, fit of the bag, metabolism, etc …
the WM ultralite is en-rated for women to ~28F … which means it may not be much better than what you already have …
go look for a bag with an en-rating womens comfort rating of 15F or so as mentioned above …
go here for more reading …Mar 11, 2012 at 7:47 pm #1852238
Stephan DoyleMember
Yes to all the women need extra insulation posts.
In that same approach, and R-value of 2.8 will give you problems. You might not feel cold, but your body will be making up for it. "The average male" would want an R-value in the 3-4 range at 20º with "the average female" obviously needing more. Being a side sleeper helps, but doesn't alleviate the problem.Mar 11, 2012 at 9:07 pm #1852296
Dustin ShortBPL Member
Stephen's right. I used to think I was cold sleeper until I upgraded to a warmer pad. I had a "10F" bag that I froze in at 40F (it's probably a realistic 20F bag). I had an old prolite 4 with a slow leak and when it flattened out I was cold. I've later switched to just a ridgerest and have slept in freezing temps at elevation with just a bivy, lt fleece pants, hvy fleece jacket and softshell and light baselayers. Yes I completely left behind a sleeping bag and was warm throughout the night simply because I swapped to a better/warmer sleeping bag.
In short, a warm (not necessarily comfy) sleeping pad can make a HUGE difference in your temperature comfort.Mar 11, 2012 at 9:20 pm #1852301

Change pads first. I have the All Season. Warm.Mar 11, 2012 at 9:59 pm #1852317
Thanks everybody for your comments . I agree I need a warmer pad and nice to g=hear a + for the allseason – as soon as my REI dividend comes in (Mar 14?), Ill be getting one of those. Sounds like a women specific bag is the way to go, so I'll look into these more. Pity WM doesnt do women specific. Any women out there want to comment on what they're using (or men wanting to comment on what their female partners/friends/colleagues are using?). BMar 12, 2012 at 10:05 am #1852472

@towalyLocale: Smoky Mtns.
You could just use a WM bag rated for 10 degrees. Typically a woman's rating is about 10 degrees different with good quality down bags.
The WM Versalite is right about 2 pounds, and is rated to 10. Great bag. You could even get a 2 ounce overstuff if you were concerned.
Definitely get a good warm pad.
The Neo-Air X-Therm(rated R 5.9) might be a good one for the lightest weight, and they make a 66" size.
I have the WM Alpinlight(20*F) and the quality is really nice. These WM bags are expensive, but I think they are worth the money. If you take care of it, it can last you a lifetime.Mar 12, 2012 at 10:39 am #1852488

Having had a UL and an Apache, I'd say that I was underwhelmed with the fabric on the WM Ultralight (in terms of durability, comfort and water resistance), but REALLY liked my WM Apache.
I haven't used FF's Nano, but given the choice between the WM Ultralight & FF bag – I'd say FF.
That said – I REALLY like the Apache, and given the same choice but including the Apache – I'd recommend the Apache and to take a look at FF.Mar 12, 2012 at 1:42 pm #1852573

Barbara, I can't imagine you having any regrets going with a Neoair all-season and the 20* FF Egret, worthy of most 3-season use. FF makes great bags.Mar 12, 2012 at 2:38 pm #1852593
Konrad .BPL Member
Barbara, it seems like the two bags are a direct apples to apples comparison in terms of down fill and weight. The one ounce net gain of the FF over the WM bag is attributable to the extra 1 oz of down fill, based on the specs you've published. With all that in mind, I think you should go for the FF bag because of woman-specific construction, and also durability. I believe FF uses a tucked seam construction, meaning the baffle-seams are hidden from the exterior shell. This means that the seams won't snag on anything since they are hidden. In particular, (from FF's website): "All baffle seams are tuck-stitched to protect the thread from abrasion and wicking moisture."Mar 12, 2012 at 2:56 pm #1852598

Try them on, go with what fits best – maybe even ask if they would do a custom 5' 9" length bag, which will take up some extra dead air space where sneaky convective currents roam, robbing side-sleepers of precious BTU's. FF makes great bags and they have recently (all the more) surpassed WM in variety, with 900 fill and lighter fabric options added to their mix. Sierra Designs also has some nice Women's bags, such as the Spark series, which have stretch baffles in the torso, like Montbell, to help conform the down to you and increase efficiency.Mar 12, 2012 at 3:07 pm #1852602

Rog, I hate to disagree in public but EITHER the WM or FF bags would be warmer than a d@mn "Phantom" bag. The Phantoms are notoriously underfilled and have that stupid half-zipper. Had a Phantom, ret'd. it to REI and got a WM Megalite and loved it.
I recently got my WM Megalite bag "overfilled" with one oz. of 850 fill down. Now it's good for at least 25 F. if not lower. I've experienced night time temps of 24 F. at 8,000 ft. on the way to Olancha Peak on the PCT in AUGUST! I'd ask either WM of FF to overfill the bag at the time of purchase. Either one is a good choice. Both world class quality and American made.Mar 12, 2012 at 4:31 pm #1852644
The problem I see with the Versalite is that is a pretty wide cut at 62" and may not work well for a woman.Mar 12, 2012 at 4:37 pm #1852647
I have owned three WM bags, a Highlite, a Ultralite (pre-Super), and a Summerlite and all were terrific bags. I didn't keep the Highlite long due to the half zipper, but had a lot of nights in both the Ultralight (a 2002) and Summerlite (a 2005) and only sold them because I changed to quilts for 20* and above. I also have a Mountain Hardwear Phanotm 0 that I have used to 4* with no additional clothing and it has nearly 8" of loft. I will admit, I would trade it for an Antelope with overfill, but it is still a nice bag, and has plenty of fill. The Phantom 15 is supposed to have 16 ounces of fill, which should put it in line with the other two. I do agree that overall WM (and presumably FF) is a step above though, but might not have the best choices for Women in that temp range. I think I would go with the Marmot Helium.Mar 12, 2012 at 5:03 pm #1852653

Hmm…my wife's Phantom 15 has 22 oz fill and a full zip. Guess they changed stuff in the later models. She's about your size Barbara and was fine to around 12 F without extra layers. I'm curious what year yours is now.Mar 12, 2012 at 5:34 pm #1852671
The 16oz spec might just be for the Men's version. If the Women's version has 22oz of down, you would expect it to be warmer than either the FF or WM.
I think there were some changes in the MH bags when they went from a black bottom to the gray bottom. My Phantom is one of the older black bottomed bags and it has a 3/4 zip.Mar 12, 2012 at 5:38 pm #1852675
The current Mountain Hardwear Phantom 15 is EN Rated for women at 25*
EN Rating: T-Comfort 25 F / -4C (Men's rating is 14*)Mar 12, 2012 at 5:57 pm #1852688

@snusmumrikenLocale: SF Bay Area
Reading up on the latest MH Women's Phantom 15 bag the specs state that:
it weighs in at 2.1 pounds
has 800 rated down
is EN rated down to 14 degrees for men and 25 for women
That is about as warm a bag you can get for 2 pounds of nylon and feathers.
Can they have changed it that significantly in recent years?
Don't replace it right away with one of those other bags, because according to the specs they are both going to be very comparable to your Phantom.
Instead examine the bag that you have. Does it have areas where it seems to be under-filled? Has it been used for several years without a wash? A small additional fill or a freshly laundered bag is a lot cheaper then purchasing a new bag.
Think of other causes for being cold.
The pad seems like the obvious one. Get that leak fixed. Again no need to go out and buy a new one, the one you've got is good. Instead for a $10 upgrade buy a Gossamer Gear 2.5 ounce thinlight 1/8 inch foam pad that you put on top of your inflatable mattress for some nice additional warmth.
In addition there is all the regular good advice such as:
Wear a warm hat, plus snug up the hood on cold nights.
Sleep in dry clothing such as loose fitting warm socks, the aformentioned hat and long underwear.
Eat a good dinner. Drink some hot chocolate and maybe eat a cookie as well before bed. Burning calories is your bodies way of generating heat.
Use your platy as a hot water bottle.
Good luck and let us know how it goes.Mar 12, 2012 at 6:05 pm #1852692

@simplespiritLocale: .
Her's might be a 3/4 zip. I know it's from 2007 (maybe 2006). Blueish top and looks like a black bottom from my photo.
It's 35 oz (on my scale) and the tag states 22 oz fill.
Yeah, 2007 bag. Specs for her long (fits to 5'10) were 22 oz 800 fill, 58/58/38 circumference, 3/4 zip, 15D shell and 20D taffeta liner. The reg which fit to 5'5 had 20 oz fill and 56/56/36 circumference.Mar 12, 2012 at 8:05 pm #1852747
Mine is a women's long, 76×29 overall specs, black bottom, kingfisher blue top, 3/4 zipper which is very very pesky, always catches on the draft tube (apparently well known for this issue), not sure of year, but 2006 or earlier.
It for sure has areas of very depleted fill. It needs a wash. Its been used on many many trips, both backpacking and car camping. Never got wet but has been compressed and uncompressed a lot. Stored hanging in a closet. But I want something different. Its amazing how frustrating that zipper can be…
Re what to do at night – The Syn7 has already been returned – bad valve. The night I was cold, I was wearing hat, fleece sleep sox, cap 3 long undies and top, R1 top, and put my MB down inner jacket around my back where it was cold feeling. Did the hot chocolate. Didnt do jumping jacks pre-bedtime. Didnt tend to the 2am call of nature, which was probably a mistake. It was a cold night but not windy (drafty) and anyway I was in a Fly Creek with high bathtub wall. Ive been at a colder temp, at 10,000 ft, where we had frost on our packs in the morning and ice in our water bottles, and i was fine, but there were three of us in a BD Skylight, so it was pretty warm in there.
Sorry, rambling. I think a women's speciifc bag is interesting.

the old phantoms may not have been en-rated … you can quickly tell if its comparable to the new ones by comparing the weight against a new one … if its lighter then MH may have pulled an REI (REI increased the insulation in their bags when the went to en-ratings, same with the NF) … which is one of the benefits of en-rating, you know how much insulation yr getting …Mar 13, 2012 at 12:02 am #1852872

unless you are young, superfit with high metabolism and don't feel the cold, I'd be rather surprised if you were comfortable in a WM ultralite at those temps in a tarptent. I find my limit in the same bag in a tarptent is a much warmer temp. much.

Very pretty Dotty!
dotty- i love your idea! independence for our kids is so difficult. i pressured my first born to leave the nest and i'm very sure it was harder on me than him. i still feel bad about it. but he is grown up, has a good job, a loving wife, and a gorgeous little daughter. everything i could want for him. i still miss the young version of my children, being able to hold them on my lap, and kiss their heads, soothe their worries away. now i can't reach the boys' heads, but at least my daughter is my height! all three live away- 2 in texas, one in ny. i hate growing up!
Love it Dot
Dotty, like your idea and how you're planning to put it all together.
I agree Dot, darker, maybe just two shades of the green, you need more of a foundation to hold up. You are the foundation for your children as they shine in life.
Yes! But I am doing birthstone colors & mine is the peridot, which is light green. Hmmm, let me google peridot!!
Aha, google says my peridot can be as deep as olive green. Off to my "greens"box!
you could go with a brighter green, not necessarily darker.
Agreed. Too sleepy to make decisions tonight. Just finished my monochromatic piece. It is so-o hot, but I have to go out. I am out of milk & I will really want some for my morning coffee. Before I move the car. Ah, NYC!
Mine is the Periodot as well. FUnny there ya think, how about the 23rd, is yours the same date? I know we are a bit different on the year. It will be pretty with the darker shade. I am the same on coffee, got to have my creamer in it.

Day Trading, Swing Trading and Position Trading
Day Trading, Swing Trading and Position Trading
There are several types of trading styles that persons seeking to profit from short term trades in the market may wish to use. Here is a brief description of the most widely used short term trading styles.
Day Trading
Day traders buy and sell stocks throughout the day in the hope that the price of the stocks will fluctuate in value during the day, allowing them to earn quick profits. A day trader will hold a stock anywhere from a few seconds to a few hours, but will always sell all of those stocks before the close of each day. The day trader will therefore not own any positions at the close of any day, and there is overnight risk. The objective of day trading is to quickly get in and out of any particular stock for a profit anywhere from a few pennies to several points per share on an intra-day basis.
Day trading can be further subdivided into a number of styles, including:
Scalpers: This style of day trading involves the rapid and repeated buying and selling of a large volume of stocks within seconds or minutes. The objective is to earn a small per share profit on each transaction while minimizing the risk.
Momentum Traders: This style of day trading involves identifying and trading stocks that are in a moving pattern during the day, in an attempt to buy such stocks at bottoms and sell at tops.
Swing Trading
The principal difference between day trading and swing trading is that swing traders will normally have a slightly longer time horizon than day traders for holding a position in a stock. As is the case with day traders, swing traders also attempt to predict the short term fluctuation in a stock's price. However, swing traders are willing to hold stocks for more than one day, if necessary, to give the stock price some time to move or to capture additional momentum in the stock's price. Swing traders will generally hold on to their stock positions anywhere from a few hours to several days.
Swing trading has the capability of providing higher returns than day trading. However, unlike day traders who liquidate their positions at the end of each day, swing traders assume overnight risk. There are some significant risks in carrying positions overnight. For example news events and earnings warnings announced after the closing bell can result in large, unexpected and possibly adverse changes to a stock's price.
Position Trading
Position trading is similar to swing trading, but with a longer time horizon. Position traders hold stocks for a time period anywhere from one day to several weeks or months. These traders seek to identify stocks where the technical trends suggest a possible large movement in price is likely to occur, but which may not be fully played out for several weeks or months.

Despite the obvious Christmas commitments of poker players across the world, there wasn't much stopping them from taking part in some of the biggest weekly online poker tournaments. One such tournament was the PokerStars Sunday Warm-Up, which attracted 3,381 players and created a prize pool of $676,200.00.
The action might have been slowing down of late due to something called Christmas, however there were still la number of players who were more than eager to risk a few pounds/dollars in search of a profit.
The player that actually finished on the top of the pile this time around was "waldur1983" who took down a Christmas total of $106,164.21. There were 3,381 players which again managed to completely trash the guaranteed prize pool of $500k and create an actual one of $676,200.00.
The event was quick, aggressive and certainly held no prisoners as players were thrown out left, right and centre. The eventual winner though was a class above the rest as he not only managed to circumvent that field but also reach and pass the final table, despite having an average stack on the final table.
The Final Table:
Waldur1983 – 3386412
munchenHB – 3969662
Alex be rich – 2606498
Sobizzle21 – 6246857
bossamtisch – 3783620
san the one- 932468
acske – 5343023
lehout – 4745057
Civell – 2796403
As it got down to the final table, it was "sam the one" who was the player that sat on the top of the pile, he had 3 million chips more than his closest rival. However, in a strange final table it was actually the chip leader going into it that ended out being eliminated first.
Heads Up!
By the time it got down to the final two players, "waldur1983" ha a 3-1 chip lead. It was a lead that he wasn't about to let slip as he continually put the pressure on his opponent. That lead was sufficient enough for him to quickly put the squeeze on his opponent, with the final hand occurring when held the Ac-5c. He pushed all-In and was quickly called by the Ad-Qh yet found a straight on the turn. The board fell as the 8h-6c-8d-9c-7c to give "waldur1983" the title.
How it Finished!
Waldur1983 – $106,164.21
munchenHB -$79,115.40
Lehout – $55,786.50
Sobizzle21 – $38,881.50
acske – $28,738.50
Civell – $21,976.50
Bossamtisch – $15,214.50
Alex be rich – $8,452.50
san the one- $5,409.60
That was the last Sunday Million of 2012, leaving us all looking forward to the action on the virtual felt in 2013.

I went to a reading a few weeks ago and she signed it "To Hilary, with the beautiful glasses" and—ta dah!—these are the ones. They're by @anneetvalentin and I LOVE them. The hinges are inspired by vintage paper clips and the acetate is this really pretty blue-grey color…can you tell I have a bit of a thing for statement eyewear?

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Wednesday withdrew his support of Judge Emeritus Nissim Yeshaya for the presidency of the Likud party's court, over a comment he had made earlier this week that some women "enjoy rape."
Netanyahu made the decision after Army Radio revealed the comment in a report Wednesday morning.
Yeshaya, a former district court judge, said this week during a hearing that "there are girls who enjoy rape." Yeshaya made the remark while serving as head of an appeals committee that ruled on an appeal of a teenager, now 19 years' old, who was raped six years ago by four Palestinian youths near the West Bank's Hizma roadblock, close to Jerusalem. The Defense Ministry had decided not to recognize the girl as a victim of terror activity.
Justice Minister Tzipi Livni later announced that Yeshaya would be stepping down from all of the official positions he still holds.
The court system in Israel often assigns emeritus judges to sit on appeals committees reviewing Defense Ministry decisions. These hearings are confidential and held behind closed doors.
Netanyahu called the judge's comment "unfortunate" and stated that a person who thinks and expresses himself in such a way would not be fit to serve as the head of the judicial institution of the Likud movement.

(First off, what is up with Steepster?? Every time I type in the web page initially I get the annoying "Oops. Someone left the kettle on…" page! What is going on? Is it just me or are other people experiencing this too? Okay, rant over.)
Alright, on to this tea.
The moment I open the bag I am hit with memories… memories of tea with my proper Scottish-descent Grandma in her china laden dining room, and of my dad taking me out for tea after my ballet class at the age of five (always loading my tea with far too much sugar + cream) to the local tea house. Strange how smells can elicit such strong emotional responses. To me, this is the tea people drink during "afternoon tea" or in tea houses. This is the kind of tea that an English (or Scottish) person would drink when feeling homesick for the homeland of their ancestors, as my Grandma and her son, my Dad, do.
It's strong, malty, slightly smoky, and holds up to milk + sugar. The tea of memories…

Best Camshaft for my setup and other question
I have a Malibu 1977, Daily driving and some race for a pleasure
My setup is
Cylinder head 041 with 1.94 valve stock
Block 350 with original dished piston
Intake edelbrock performer
Carburator edelbrock 600 cfm
Turbo 350 with shift kit and a new stall converter
gear posi 3.42
What best camshaft for this setup ???
I see on ebay a aluminium radiator is a best choice ????
And what stall converter i need ???
Thank you for your help
The comp cams 268H in the magnum line would serve it fine, as I wouldnt go much bigger with the compression ratio being in the 9:1 range. A tork master 2000 stall would work fine with this cam.
What compression? It might be super low with dished pistons.
You have to pick the cam, compression, and stall together, so a better idea of how you'll use the car would help. What percentage street and what percentage race?... and be honest with yourself
Aluminum radiators are not necessarily better, just different. Copper and brass actually conduct heat better than aluminum, but aluminum can withstand more pressure, so aluminum radiator's tubes can be flatter and therefore have greater surface area in contact with the air and water. The result is pretty much a wash. Most aluminum radiators are capable of transferring similar heat to their copper/brass counterparts. One of the benefits to aluminum radiators is that they weigh a few pounds less. One of the drawbacks is their high level of sensitivity to corrosion. Copper/brass radiators tend to get crusty inside, but high levels of electrolytic erosion aren't typically as much of an issue.
I opted for a copper/brass high-efficiency core from Modine for an old big block. I could fill it with a garden hose, and it cooled 400 hp and kept a huge A6 AC compressor happy in stop and go desert traffic. I've done aluminum as well and been just as happy, but my wallet was a lot lighter.
Whatda you know! I spec'd my own cam, for my engine and use. Got around to running the CC program and SHAZAAM! they recommend the same cam I picked out.
Call the cam companies for advice, they have seen it all and can offer advice on your build/use.
I would trust the cam companies recommendations, unless you are smart enough to do it your self, over Jethro down at the drive-in only because, if the company gives you a bad choice you can bad mouth them on the net (and they know it). Who gives a ******* if you bad mouth Jethro???
BTW, CC XE274 hydraulic flat tappet in a strictly street 383 with 10.30 static CR, Edel RPM Q-Jet intake, reworked Q-Jet carb, 1 5/8" long tube headers-true duals, TF 23* 195 cc heads in a 3300 #, with my fat *** in it, C3 'Vette with a 3.36 rear and 4 speed. Stock cold air induction WITHOUT a fashionable K&N. Accel HEI, 34* total timing running on 89 octane pump gas.
