MLM 57 Report post Posted March 10, 2016 (edited) Replaced the clutch slave cylinder on my e36. Had to improvise a pressure bleeder from a coke bottle which worked a charm. Tight arse mod of the month is a adjustable clutch pedal stop, or an washing machine foot..... Fits up perfectly (OEM on the right) not that a proper one costs much https://www.turnermotorsport.com/p-3807-uuc-clutch-stop/ but you cant beat near free mods for almost zero effort.

Olaf 3314 Report post Posted March 10, 2016 I picked up - rather unexpectedly - a set of style 194 wheels (staggered) - today, following a trademe offer. I spent a couple of hours cleaning them up - I doubt they'd ever been washed on the inner rim before. after springs... Next is: to find a kerb-rash repairer (recommendations in Wellington appreciated!) and then: some decent rubber in the 225/45/17 and 245/40/17 flavours. Happy, me.

MattA 162 Report post Posted March 12, 2016 Fitted clear indicators. Makes such a difference to the over all look, (a decent wash and wax would probably do the same.........). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JaseNZ 53 Report post Posted March 16, 2016 reservoir tank split down the side which had to happen sooner or later. Put her in for some love and had the full cooling system done as well as full service. Found the painters elbow was naffed as well so did that at same time. All good now and back home ready for a trip away at easter. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

aja540i 1906 Report post Posted March 17, 2016 Rebuilt the carby, and put a muffler on the e21, but most importantly, got the stereo going! Now i just have to get the clutch and brakes working, and put a door on it! Nothing major. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gaz 1059 Report post Posted March 19, 2016 Replaced the headunit in the e39 so I can now see what station Im listening too, bought some new seats for the touring and bought a new project for when the touring goes back on the road. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
M3AN 4016 Report post Posted March 19, 2016 Installed the occupancy sensor defeat for the passenger seat, removed seat, test fitted NZKW bracket and slider for my Recaro seats. All seems fine (and no airbag light) although I think everything will be a bit too low, I might need to prop it up a bit, possibly by using ~1" stands between the floor bracket and sliders. BTW - don't pay $65 for an occupancy sensor defeat from Trademe, get a better one from eBay for $12 shipped. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
