11:22 remove the air box and alternator and separate it from the top. you dont need to drop the subframe. however, its harder to get leverage on the split joint from the top, so put some heat on the aluminum split joint before trying to separate it from the column
Are you still using the 7.5 amp fuses for the low beams? I recently installed these super bright LEDs because I drive at night it kept blowing the 7.5 amp fuse so I had to go up to 10 amps. Everything is okay now. Great install and tutorial brother!!!
I too have a bmw s3 and based on your video I too purchased a mitshimoto radiator. Guess what, it starting leaking just like your video. Must be a design flaw. Shame for such an expensive radiator.
if the ideal temp is between 175-200 degrees that is hot....you say you want the fluid to be warm.....175 degrees is hot......140 hot water will give you burns....imagine what 175 degree fluid will do....I had a regular car with an oil cooler and even when it was 90 degree F outside the AFT fluid never got over 140 degrees.....the transmission was original....reg fluid changes and shifted like a swiss watch after 200,000 miles. Problem with the car was age and rust caused by excessive road salt
What's the best size wire to use. My blinker wire is a little short on my oem harness, I need to extend the wire on the headlights, and I'm not sure on what wire to get?
Excellent video. My Z3 encountered a water leak into the trunk area. The butyl tape in this tacking bow area was literally melted down inside, due to the high heat of the summer. I will need to remove the back side of this soft top and redo the butyl tape. Your video allowed me how to remove this tacking bow bolts, without removing the rest of the soft top. Thank you so much for the information. Instead of using the butyl tape, I might use a silicone sealant, or urethane sealant. They don't melt under the sun, but it may be extremely difficult to remove next time.
I'm confused here. I have a 97 1.9 that came with 138 hp from factory and you've been spending all this time and money on a 2.5 6 banger, just to have 147 and then 159 hp. Ridiculous. My M54 330i has 225 from factory. Stop spending money and dump an M54 in it!
I received contact from H&R and they only make them in red for the Z3. Any input on how to make them black without peeling off the red powdercoat is appreciated. Thanks in advance. FYI, I wanted blue because my other 2 bimmers have blue.
That’s what I’m dying to do also … so far I’ve narrowed it down to getting rid of the muffler and going straight from the resonator… that could make a noticeable difference with or without headers and high flow CAT
Remember your cooling system is pressurized to about 16 psi so your boil temp is much higher I can’t remember the exact temp but I know pressure correlates with the temperature a liquid can boil at
I put one in my 2015 f150 because it's supposed to be the best I've gone through4 so far they replace it with between a 100 to 75 shipping costs add that up I could by another radiator now number 4 is leaking smh
I've driven coil over equipped cars, and they're great for racing but they will beat you to death on the street even when you turn them down to their lowest setting.
Am only here because I have had a rear rattle for 3 years, since a friend replaced all my breaks. Noone could figure out where the rattle was coming from, yesterday I had all my breaks replaced again and I shit you not no rattle, 3years of annoyance is finally over. And it's the same noise as your drive around
Thats messed up. Im in New York and those slow inconsiderate drivers get in my way here also,causing me to have to go around them as soon as i get an opening.
I think that is a legit move to get around to slow drivers and people driving like thay are scared and this asshate laying on the horn because he feels violated 😅
