I really like seeing you more and more enthusiastic and happy with those mod projects. It is a deep rabbit hole as you encountered - there is always something to improve. But as track day touring car owner (although E36) I will give you advice - do not make same mistake as I did - treat this car as a track car. Don't think about making it daily or preserving. Make it for purpose, do not worry about any deadning or looks of interior. Maximise low weight and raciness. I think next in order would be roll cage and some proper seats (and steering wheel). I think it's also good time to think about towing trailer.. Have fun!

@st3althyone 8 месяцев назад

@jtb9866 8 месяцев назад

Great video as always! You had mentioned that you intend on replacing the differential front shaft seal later but wouldn't that alter the preload of the differential? It is my understanding that the pinion shaft preload is set by torqueing the pinion shaft nut after the shaft has been pressed onto the bearings until a certain resistance value is achieved as measured from the pinion shaft nut which is why BMW does not provide a torque value for the pinion shaft nut. Part of the preload value is determined by the pinion shaft crush sleeve which is one time use and will no longer have the same tension after the pinion nut has been loosened so rotating the pinion nut back to the same location technically wouldn't result in the same preload. Too low of a preload value can result in the shaft vibrating from the pinion bearings and eventual differential failure, especially for track use.

Just a tip regarding the powdercoating, any surface you don't want powdercoating sticking to i.e the bush mounting areas, a thin layer of copper grease, does the trick perfect. Stops the powder coat bonding.

@G4M3PL4YS4ALL 8 месяцев назад

As someone who welds structural steel for a living and have been a welder for over 10 years the reinforcement plates that have been welded on, was done badly, the welds aren't going to last since he tacked more than actually welded, this is pretty the weakest type of welding which is mainly for looks and should never be used in structural applications e.g car reinforcement, those welds will snap. Everything else apart from this, was a great video to watch and gave me ideas for my own similar type of project for my E46 I love your videos keep doing what you're doing. Thanks Streten!

FINNALY!!! Someone doing brake lines how they should be done. Not some garbage copper lines, but proper steel ATE brake lines. One thing that I would like to add when it comes down to rust removal and protection. Don't use seam seller on "bare" metal, but use it after spraying epoxy primer (Brunox is not good enough). Between the plates I would also used copper paste for welding to prevent rust forming between them. Also I tested Brunox and other rust converters on my car and nothing worked for more than a year. Only way to remove the rust is cut it or sandblasting. There was good rust converter called Dynitrol RC800, but was banned by the EU and there is no way to obtain it anymore. Amazing work as always.

Great video, as always. Still something bothers me: you keep complaining about the ‘German cars’ (or cars driven in Germany in winter) as having rust due to the road salt. But that’s inevitable in order to asure a safe traffic during winter since their winters are tougher than those in Spain, Southern France etc; they all started to use less harmful/agressive materials (like Calcium Cholride etc) but these are much more expensive than the basic road salt. The funny part I was refering to is that you didn’t complain about the cars bought from (and driven in) Sweden and Finland - those saw a lot more salt 😊 Can’t wait for the next video 🤠

@justinrehm6839 7 месяцев назад

Small tip for seals with a spring on the inside - like the Axle seals you installed. Put a good amount of grease or even Vaseline along the inside/backside of the seal with the spring is that holds the lip seal (if that makes sense) These springs are known to sometimes come out when installing them and sometimes it can be hard to even notice. And if you do notice good luck getting the spring back in
