tire

Hi. this will help you with your rack. Front shocks you need spring compressors to get the springs off before you can get to the shock otherwise its supposed to be quite easy. About $140 to get both fronts replaced at avg garage. If you want get the bentley E30 manual iIve had mine a week it seems good. Where bouts are you located?

I love that photo

Online version on the Bentley E30 manual is unobtainable. Couple of handy E30 sites: http://hosting.data.bg/bmw/BMW/E-Books/E30/ http://www.e30tech.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=33 http://savarturbo.se/~mattias/motor/bmw/Haynes-Manual.zip (haynes dload) http://www.amazon.com/gp/reader/0837603250..._pt#reader-link ( <- read parts of the bentley manual)

The cheapest I found one was amazon, I couldn't find one at the library either. I think from amazon it worked out around $60NZ with cheapest shipping. Takes a while to come though, they reckon mine will arrive 13 june :S

rofl this is funny.. Suddenly the previously chastised e36 compacts are the bees knees and big shiny wheels are sweet as? Chronic leg humping.

Lol now no one is going to have any material for the meets! Edit.. btw I'm a kitchenbitch when not at school

What about the guy on rollerblades with a jet engine on his back racing hammond in the aston? That was cool

Methinks the piss is being taken

Yea I hit down on the tie rod end nut itself. After hitting the side of the strut eye. Then it came out. I'll know how to do it sweet as next time. I'm replacing everything anyway. Mike - Yes my aim is sh*t. Once I was banging random nails into a fence and missed and hit my kneecap :S. I'm bad. Mike - getting a socket onto the rack bracet nut isn't the difficult part as I have plenty of elevation with my stands. Its just getting up behind to grip the bolt and stop it from spinning round as I undo the nut (after having loosened it). But I haven't had a good go yet I'm sure i'll be sweet Cheers for the help hotwire, mike, silver fox etc

Mint I got them out. Had to hit it fail hard aye. Turned the top nut into a pankake. Had a quick go at unscrewing bolts the p/s rack bracket but after being loosened they just kept turning without coming out. I need to somehow grip the top while unscrewing the bolt. its hard to get plyers up there though. Pathetic eh. Its all fun though. Good learning. Can't wait to disect the old rack!

My plate starts with DUD..... I saw HOBAG on a beat up old cefiro a wee while back. Suited the car and the driver real well I laughed.

Should I turn the wheel so that the hub on the side which i am working on is facing in our out or straight ahead or does it not matter?

Cheers guys I'll get back ouot there now. Mike - Replacement (not new) rack comes with everything. Tie rods and steering rack. Cheers Ray for doing that, you could easily have just sent the rack and I'd be fcuked right now.

Urgent Quick Question - How on earth do I detatch the tierods from the struts? I've undone the nut on top but I can't get the bolt to slide out of the hole. Can you explain in more detail this hammer and block of wood method? TY

Argh I think thats the oil warning light? Not 100% sure though, it says in the manual. Pull the dipstick and see if you are low (with cold engine) if you haven't already...

Clean car Ven as I think I said before Yea pre-FLs look better anyway. Alex - How come your pre f/l hasn't got chrome bumpers? Chrome bumpers are win as.

Please link to aforementioned E30 suspension diagram!

Wait on Brant didn't you just buy that?

Sick mean wicked. And I bet its even better in person. No tech2 spoiler?
