Man that looks like a nice one. Makes me miss my old one big time.

That looks fantastic man well done.

F*** yes I'll take you up on that. Could you take a further out photo of that exhaust? From those it looks fine to me.

Looking forward to see this going man.

That looks awesome. Didn't even know those wheels existed.

This car was put together by a guy I used to know. It's more like an e30 body with e36 running gear and e46 engine. The engine is an AGU 20v 1.8 turbo out of an early mk4 Golf. Cable throttle. The running gear is mk3 GTI, 5 stud 5x100. It's a full subframe swap with bigger brakes. Rear beam was swapped. Mk3 steering rack. This was a good few years ago now though, don't know what's been done to it since. It's a pretty common swap these days for the older Golfs and Jettas. I did one in my old Mk2 as well. For what they are they are heaps of fun and go really well. Just depends what you are looking for. I prefer my 328i manual E36. Don't regret moving on from my mk2.

I've got 17x8s et20 all round on my E36 with 225/45s. Had to roll the guards but otherwise they fit, very close though. Does rub a little with more than one person in the car over bigger bumps. With narrower tyres it wouldn't be an issue.

Probably never so I'll do that. Thanks.

I see what you're saying, but that all works fine. What happens with mine is when the window is say all the way down, and you press to put the window up, it will stop halfway and drop a little. Similar to what happens if your arm is out the window and you try to put it up. How I read Nick's explanation it sounded like he has the same problem.

My issue is when the door is closed and you press the button to close the window, it goes up a bit then "catches", stops and drops down a little. How would the door switch affect that?

Curious to see what you do here, I have the same problem and haven't been able to find a solution for it.

That looks awesome man. Great to see it pretty much finished.

No I didn't. To be fair they were second hand as well, so they could be faulty. I'll test them and see. Thanks guys.

From my understanding this has more to do with the fan speed. Have you had it affect the temperatures as well? I don't believe they do have IHKA. What do you mean full manual vent mode? I'm assuming pressing the left buttons with the up and down arrows, which I have. Is the heater valve supposed to completely shut off hot water flow when the temperature is set to coldest? If not then there may be some flaps that are not working.

I've done quite a bit of research on this and some diagnosing but I can't find a solution. The heater in my e36 will only blow hot air to the foot and windscreen vents no matter what the settings are. As long as I select foot or windscreen, it is hot. It blows cold from the middle vents, as well as hot when the adjuster on the middle vent is turned. I have rebuilt a heater valve unit with new seals, needles etc and installed it, made no difference. They are definitely working as I can feel and hear the solenoids clicking. I tested the voltages at the plug and they range from 7v to around 12v depending on the temperature setting on the control unit in the car. Today I got another control unit to see if that was the problem, also no difference. It has the dual climate electronic control module that looks like the one in the image attached. I recently pulled out all the AC parts from the engine side but it was doing the same thing before that so I don't think it's related at all to AC. Does anyone had any ideas what could be causing this?

I just read about using these yesterday. Thanks for posting this, will be of help.

Sent you a PM about the clear indicators.

I have the airbox from 328i and will have the rad fan out shortly as well. PM me.

Before I order a new one online, does anyone have a E36 steering wheel hub they want to sell? Preferably Momo, hub for airbag models but will take a non airbag one as well. Part number either 2008 or 2011 if Momo. I'm in Auckland but don't mind paying for shipping.

Planning to be there. And yes, E38. Momo hub is SOLD.

Yep got back about two weeks ago.
