I was wondering why mine was missing the fabric and had never been fixed, went to do the job and surprise surprise one of the torque screws are stripped and bolt is in tight as hell, down the rabbit hole I go again…
fwiw, this can be done with the wheels on the car and entirely from the trunk. i like ramps for this job since the shock bolt should be torqued with the vehicle on the ground.
Has anyone tried pouring a little vinegar or liquid plummer down the drain? Seems like if vinegar cleans out the calcium on a coffee maker it might work on this. I'd be interested if any one tries it.
I tried that through the top with my 03 IS3O0 Sport Design, my passenger sunroof hose it super clogged! the weed wacker live only goes half way down. Should I start from the bottom?
Man, this is a lot of work and special tools needed. I need to replace my steering angle sensor and was thinking of doing this job but this looks like a pain in the rear. I have a little bit of play in my steering but I am hoping the new steering angle sensor will help with that. Mind you, mine is a 2002 M3. Thoughts?
Good afternoon. could send me a list of all the necessary components for this modification . my engine is an m20b27 (122cv). wanted to have more power without having to spend a lot of money . I don't realize from mecanica but wanted to know how much I would spend on the components . thank you.
You can also throw the bushings in the freezer for a few hours and they will shrink just enough for you to push them into the arm, after a while they will expand again when they return to normal temperature and you can just push in the metal sleeve into the bushing
Important note: those 12 bolts for the metal reinforcement plate are supposed to be replaced after removal. They are torque-to-yield EDIT: btw, since I am doing this now, the specs for these bolts are 59 Nm/44 ft-lbs + 90° + 30° (from the Bentley manual). This is important for your subframe rigidity, as I understand it
If it’s leaking the drains are plugged they are not meant to be sealed they have drains that run down into weirs and wonderful places 😂 you buy lil brushes and wire to snake into them
Hi and sorry for bad english, but does anyone know can i put original rear absorber, there is now some JOM coilover under whole car, just wondering does that original size absorber fit with those jom springs😮thanks
@@ThoseCarDudes yeah it's feeling like people are just keeping them tucked in their garages, makes sense though when your $5000 Silvia is worth 35k now
If anyone can give me some tips, My daily driver is a 1989 320i e30, 3.91 open small diff, its whinning like crazy and i cant find other to change it here in Romania, what can I do?
1. don't daily drive E30 (I'm in the same boat unfortunately) 2. you can source small type 168 diffs from E36 compacts (which there is plenty of in Romania I am sure) as they interchangable or you can upgrade to big case type 188 diffs from E34 with mounting adapter, just make sure you reseal it and change the oil inside it before you mount it
