I know a few of you on here have rebuilt LSD's with re-ground ramp angles and I have a few questions. Mainly, did you have both accel and decel ramps re-ground or did you just do the accel ramp? I would like to only do the accel ramp to make a 1.5 way diff but it causes complex geometry problems...

Hey all, I bought a 323i back in October and it was a total dud. Got it cheap, so I guess I should have expected it. After a month everything began falling apart.. so it's obvious the previous owner made it look good before he sold it to me.. temporary, you know. Took the right step this...

Hi guys and happy new year to all ! Just wondering if there are any E36 coupe owners who have actually had to replace the roof ledge moulds. If so, where purchased, How much, and degree of difficulty in replacing. Mine are still ok but showing some age and would love to tackle this soon. ...

So the car has had a slight belt whine at start-up for a little while, but not loud and not for long so no big stress. The other night i had some spare time and had just bought a low setting torque wrench so thought, what the heck give it a crack. The adjusting nut is 19mm and needs ~7 Nm of...

The car is a 88 525i manual, and when I got it nearly everything was shot, I've since replaced; Struts Front and rear billy sports eibach springs Upper and Lower control arms tie rods drag link drop links Everything was done to the specs in a bentley manual I developed a knock from the...

Hi Im thinking about adjusting my rockers to stop or atleast make it quieter because its gotten pretty loud lately with its tapping sound and mechanic told me only certain M30 engines can be adjusted is this true or is he pulling my chain because i dont want to pull everything off if i cant...

Hey guys, Thought I would start a new thread to discuss the S38 stroker kit from Pure Performance Motorsport in Dandenong. I'm pretty much set on using this kit if and when it becomes available in the new engine that I am about to start building for my E34 M5. I dropped by PPM yesterday and...

Hi guys, I replaced my shift linkages about 6 months ago, and I'm already rather disappointed with the amount of play it has. Has anyone here tried the UUC Double Shear Selector Rod? Would you recommend it? If so, any idea what length is appropriate for the 525i E34, if any? The only E34 they...

Hi guys, I have stumbled upon 2 set of wheels on ebay for e39. I know how hard it is to find proper wheels for these beautiful cars just to show how sexy they are. if your interested you can find an original M5 set through this link, it is posted the rears are 9" but it should be 9.5". not...

e34-1.wmv - YouTube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NSyY6h2-LAc&context=C329a31cADOEgsToPDskLEOq8lNrfafYg41ZMl0CBq Still some vibration there, going to get a driveshaft from the wreckers next, narrowed it down to the universal joints that are gone.

I'm considering a set of 18" rims and lowering the suspension to suit. I quite often have three brothers in the back of my car though, and one in particular is rather heavy. The normal suspension nearly bottoms out, but I don't know if the springs have weakened with age. I know I can get stiffer...

Hey guys, Near Liverpool with an 4cyl E30 that i'm never finding time to work on even though it's fairly minor work. Just need coil overs (BC BR) fitted and (e36) rack put back in. Already dismantled. Have complete rear subframe already rebuilt with bushes/bearings etc to go on but will...
