  1. hey fellas!

    I am replacing the trailing arm bushes today, read afew DIY's and used a threaded rod with washers etc...that pressed the old bush out fine... awesome!

    Now ive greased up the new bush and it wont go in right, like its pushing one half in more than the other due to the rod being off centre, so i cut the old bush in half and used it to "centre" the rod..this didnt seem to help much,

    Im still getting half the bush started and the other half wont push thru, like it catching, so i cant get the bush started into the arm so I cant press the whole bush thru, I dont wanna have it catching and flexing/bending heaps and keep trying to crank the bush thru since it obviously doesnt wanna go thru.

    Advice/what youve done/help

    Thanks in advance!

  2. Ive got E28 engine mounts and have been told it'll bolt up and fit M50 to E30...but then keep seeing E36 arms popping up everywhere, whats the deal? have you noticed this in your searching?

    Looking good btw! your so orginised haha can't wait to see the final product!


  3. So after all my trouble over bushes I get my trailing arm bushes after all, someone cocked up, the bushes will be here tomorrow. yay!

    put the solid bush in the diff, brought a new front lip off another local member, and just today burnt out the subframe bushes for the new ones

    Hopefully be able to test the LSD in the weekend

    Got a bitta rust killing to do also to keep me busy

    all the while still researching M50 stuff, plan is to do head gasket, studs etc and swap it in N/A and have it running(keeping stock compression or as close as with the headgasket) and will see how it goes, then save save save and turbro it later so i do it properly and dont cut corners...spread the cost over time also :)

  6. Hey guys

    I'm currently looking for some secure storage I can access whenever to put a car and some car bits in.

    Basicly anthing lockable with power for a radio/light/drill...no welding or any of that power sucking sh*t, So standalone double garage, shed, barn etc

    Want it within 10mins driving distance of Rolleston realisticly or it'll cost more than its worth haha

    Let me know if any of you guys know or hear of anything from mates or family members, Will even mow your grandmas lawns if it somehow sweetens a deal :lol: ... no dirty comments!

    Don't wanna do a proper storage place cause I dont wanna be locked into a contract/time period, would rather fund someones ciggys/booze/HP etc

    Cheers boys,

    Andrew
