'08 Leaver. Which teacher is it?

cant seem to access link on my mobile Will it be the carpark next to O block?

I recently put in a medium case LSD into my e30, and when i slow down from ~20km/h to a stop or near stop for speed bumps, you can hear a distinctive whine that goes "rrrrrRRRRRr", and in that exact pattern . Doesn't whine, grind or make other funny noises when cruising or cornering. Using 75w-90 Redline fully synthetic with LSD additive already added. Matter of oil or more sinister? TIA

Used them before (was chosen international postal service for Seattle Coffee Gear). Arrived in a week, no dramas.

Spotted you over a week ago at Coatesville. Pretty Much Amazing.

if you don't mind the toxic rubber smoke

what ever works i suppose. Love the work you've done on the e36 Michael. A true build project, not bolt and replace haha

Trailing arm bushes removed. All makeshift tool items can be bought from bunnings. Rod is M10 x 1m length (cut it into 3rd's) 3 M10 nuts 2 square plates with M10 sized centre 17mm 1/2 drive deep socket old BMX pegs, they fitted by chance . Pipes can also work Normally, your nuts will be stronger than your rod, so go slow to avoid cross threading the rod etc. You can extract bushes out half-way, then undo everything, then extract the 2nd half out with your 2nd go at it. This was the only way I didn't cross thread the rod thread. Something to do with load, due to science or voodoo reasons. Burned my subframe bushes out also. If you don't have a torch to heat the bushes up to it's burning temperature, drill holes into the rubber (4 was my optimum number) into each side, then use spirits/petrol/lighter fluid + matches/lighter to soften the rubber up a bit, then saw out the gooey centre. Afterwards, you light it up again with accelerant of choice, because now you can burn all of it out in one go (drawing more air for easier combustion). Or, again, due to science or voodoo reasons. Credit goes to various Bimmersporter burning their bushes out, and http://www.firstfives.org/faq/trailing_arm...ushing_faq.html

HB Tony, hope its nice out West

+1 on Brendon's service. Call him and send him an email before hand with order. My goods arrived Tuesday morning before 7am when I paid midday Monday. That's to Auckland though.

Yup, should have told Wolf mufflers to weld before the rear joint

Some blood and sweat later, all removed! Forgot to take it to Pitstop to free up my exhaust, and took the "she'll be alrite" attitude. Also, utter BS when people say "hammer out the subframe posts" | Yea Right Will order braided lines and re-install next weekend. Then off to Pitstop to free up the exhaust for engine removal. Hacksaw by hand doesn't work. At. All.

none that I noticed. Not too worried about weight, it's the surface area i'm after and to help with occasional trackdays (slippage after several laps). edit: what do you mean by keeping it going? i thought lighter was better

just a minor inconvenience. On the plus side, don't have to worry about clearance for the rear seal bolts. Will my e30 m40 starter and TOB still work? Thanks for the pointer Brent, looks like a good option. I'll give them a ring during business hours, edit: clutch release bearing has same p/n for e36 and e30, so should be ok

well that sucks. Thanks Brent

^ hopefully, don't know how much difference it makes (20-30kg's?) compared to stock m40 Can anyone identify this flywheel? I assumed it was m20 single mass (was told this). Either I can't measure correctly (it is 223mm diameter) or it is something else. Fits perfect onto my m40, without rubbing any rear seal bolts. Also, can't find any timing reference on the side, do all flywheels have this? I'm all ears , just want to check before clutch kit is ordered. Thanks!

what do you use to clean the inside of a diff? Its an LSD and been sitting around for a while, want to give it a good clean before new oil. TIA

i'm happy to take 2 if you do decide to split, or if some else also requires 2.

Supercheap auto sells car undersealants (rubbery material), you could try that.

any updates Tristan? I bought two Eastwood spray can triggers off trademe, let me know if you want one (to borrow or buy lol)

looks great Julian!

PM'd you Andy

yes, Dan the Man. Nice fella aye

^ actually cracked up at your comment polley. Yes it is indeed. Just fits in there nicely. Max, change ya name back to "tastic"

So, bought this off a BMW series competitor, comes with everything incl. tuned ECU and AFM. Will use an m20 single mass flywheel and will be dropping it in during Xmas. Fun fun.
