If I had the money this would be mine in a flash. Good LUCK!

If only you'd bought a BS calendar, you'd have known!

Timing?

Well, what an improvement! Bloody awesome, however one problem i'm having is the FL swaybar link seems to keep undoing itself. We loctite'd it but it's still undoing itself...we're going to try leaving it overnight for the loctite to set? But while it was still holding tight was awesome heading out to Maraetai along clevedon scenic route Saw an e46 M3 with the plate FALL3N...I think that person is on these forums?

cool, sounds like you had a great day

Hey guys, thanks for all the replys. I started off with WD40, then WD40+lighter, then turps+lighter, then paint thinner+lighter...then bought a f**king propane blowtorch haha, worked a treat....540i should be up and running today!! Will post back how she performs!

Brent - once my car is up and running (tomorrow if all goes as planned), i'd be keen to go to one funds dependant.

Cheers, will probably buy one later today

Well my quick attempt with a lighter and some flammable crap didn't work too well...it moved a little bit, haha

How do you burn it? Solvent required?

Have tried a tierod puller, no luck, bush just gives way and the link moves but the bush sticks

Had a good google before posting and no unfortunately...I don't see any bolts/nuts, it's a little figure 8 looking thing which has 2x bushes in it, one of which is around the swaybar, another goes into a bolt/nut. I cant get the one off the sway bar.

As the topic says...i'm having trouble removing the rear swaybar links. They just don't want to come off, any ideas?

sweet...save me from bloody going to town all the time to buy sh*t! I'll be in touch.

Will have a chat to my mate again...I think he almost has it up to wof standard

'Looks like it to me.

Mine has done about 205km...I think Simons has done over 350?? When I took mine to dragwars I ran a 15.0, completely standard except for some 17 inch rims. Hope you enjoy your purchase

Cheers Cam, will measure it up

March I might be up for it.......Feb not however. Please keep us informed if a March one happens

I was blatantly speeding through an intersection in botany to get through the lights, obviously my car isn't the quietest...and a cop was filling up at the bp (near glenns workshop). He chased me about 3km down the rd after he'd filled up...and ended up giving me a warning. I suppose he didn't catch my speed, and couldn't do me for that, but I was still shitting myself wondering what would happen etc. Pleasant enough guy, as already mentioned, respect them and cooperate, and chances are they might go easy on you (in my experience anyway).

Welcome to the club! Looking good, how many km's?

Do you have a pic of the top of the radiator? Had a look at my mates 320i and he has a tube thing which goes into an overflow. And his top hose connector appears to be moved further to the left I think from what I can remember.

Simon - nah, 540i's still on stands, waiting for swaybar links (front and rear) and the 'pitman arms' as bmw calls them, also called 'dog bones' supposedly? to arrive and my swaybar bushes! Shocks/springs are next on the to do list Some good suggestions there...but SOME of them can't really be done at 12:15am especially when your mrs has work the following day at 7am

Right, icecream shopping it is!

Hmmm, might just waste time driving there, head down queen st, buy an icecream at a servo somewhere, and then head home
