d.p.n.s 15 Report post Posted July 27, 2013 Nice, doing a drop tank setup or something? no after a lot of researching the general thoughts from most that have raced e30s and still racing is the factory tank and postion is better then the droptank/fuel cell in the boot. so that saved me some money and ill just put a surge tank in the boot Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
d.p.n.s 15 Report post Posted July 27, 2013 Did you figure out what ratio the diff was in the end? yeah its a 3.9 mate. will be good for a start and at least its a lsd so I can just try different crown wheel and pinions from there on, thanks again for that mate.

nipe 1 Report post Posted August 8, 2013 Did a quick search on google, but couldn't find an answer what is hydraulic release bearing (as in why use it and what is it good for)? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
d.p.n.s 15 Report post Posted August 8, 2013 Did a quick search on google, but couldn't find an answer what is hydraulic release bearing (as in why use it and what is it good for)? if you have a hydraulic clutch fork setup like most bmws it has a slave cylinder on the outside of the bellhousing/gearbox and it pushes on a frok that pushes the thrust bearing to make the clutch work. like this now the hydraulic release bearing sits on the shaft and the fluid pushes the bearing out to make the clutch work like the pic in my last post. some of the reasons you would use it ......no room in the tunnel for the clutch slave and fork,.....cant find slave and fors for your bearbox...or like me you have a auto bell housing that doesn't have a hole for the fork or mount for the slave cyilinder and you cant find the fork setup anywhere to buy so easy option ......howe release bearing from summit racing landed for $208 and spend $60 at safe are brakes getting to lines made up.. 1 flexi line coming from the clutch line into the release bearing. 2. one hard line from the bleed nipple to the outside on the bellhousing so you can bleed the bearing from outside. that's about it.
