  3. I take it you have an old 325 with strut mount sways? These have the same control arms as an e36. So mounting them will be no problem. Just get different endlinks There is a good discussion of strut mount sways vs control arm mount on bimmerforums. I'll try find it again I think the gist of it was people found they had a better 'feel' from the strut mount. The only other bennefit was that you can run a thinner sway that weighs less OT/ what strut inserts are you going to use?
  4. Yes they come with tyres. Tyres are yokohama 205/55 DNA Grandprix. 3 have about half tread. 1 has a puncture and is a bit more worn on the shoulders

  17. what brakes are you using?
  18. Sorted the fuel level sender. Seems to be a ver common problem for 95-on e36's and is 9 times out of 10 on the fuel pump side. Very easy to fix. Pop out rear seat, unscrew the cover on the drivers side(4 phillips head screws), unplug the level sender and fuel pump wiring, unscrew the cover from the fuel pump. I used a hammer and large flathead to beat it around. Carefully remove the fuel pump where if your lucky you'll see this: Was just a loose wire. Use a wire stripper to expose more wire if necessary and screw back into it's spot. Install is opposite to removal. The smell of petrol went after a short drive If your an idiot this could be dangerous quite happy to not have to carry the safety bottle around. then swaped old for new tensioner bearing, belts and bonnet emblem
  19. is the bonnet fibreglass? Amazing project
  20. think it was 6 cheapest factory manual e36 328 i've seen I didn't like the interior at all to start with but it has grown on me Forgot to add the best bits about the car. No traction control, no cruise control, no head unit and no obc

    not sure if this helps http://noriyaro.com/?p=3305
  22. Got this car a little while back. It was cheap and as a result it was (and still is) a bit rough. What i will be trying to do is restore it and make it go around corners a little nicer. So far i have: -swaped the standard open 2.92 diff to a 3.15 lsd -changed the rear shocks to bilstein sports -added remus rear muffler -re-sprayed the parcel tray from some sort of pink color to black Here it is now: Things i need to fix: -rubbers around windows -broken fuel gauge. Always shows empty. I think it is the fuel level senders that are the problem -holes in boot from spoiler + flaking paint on boot -respray bumper trim -replace front emblem -tensioner bearing -ac removed -fan clutch -radiator hoses -front brakes -exhaust rattle -clutch
  23. for the rear springs on the e36 i'd undo the output shafts at the diff. requires an e12 torx socket. not sure how necessary this is
