I would have thought some flexibility in those tabs is a design feature so that it tightens up onto the bushing sleeve properly during torquing. Does that part of the rear subframe ever even get damaged outside of accidents?

Essentially my concern is that after these pieces are welded in that it would no longer properly squeeze the bushing. I am NOT adding toe/camber adjustment because for my desired ride height it really isn't worth the hassle/expense. I would also have to drive far for an alignment shop that would agree to deal with that.

I am building my car so that the chassis is ready if I ever 24V swap it. I already reinforced the front subframe and the rear is torn apart now for full rebuild.]]> General Technical 88Sedan https://www.r3vlimited.com/board/forum/e30-technical-forums/general-technical/10162455-trailing-arm-rear-subframe-reinforcement-question https://www.r3vlimited.com/board/forum/e30-technical-forums/general-technical/10162197-de-pinning-relay-plugs Fri, 05 Jun 2026 20:16:12 GMT


Any tips?]]> General Technical Maybe Magpie https://www.r3vlimited.com/board/forum/e30-technical-forums/general-technical/10162197-de-pinning-relay-plugs https://www.r3vlimited.com/board/forum/e30-technical-forums/general-technical/10161863-diff-clucking-on-take-off Mon, 01 Jun 2026 09:51:27 GMT General Technical zaq123 https://www.r3vlimited.com/board/forum/e30-technical-forums/general-technical/10161863-diff-clucking-on-take-off https://www.r3vlimited.com/board/forum/e30-technical-forums/general-technical/10161523-how-to-properly-delete-the-plastic-fuel-expansion-tank-lines Sun, 24 May 2026 23:09:33 GMT
So I had to replace the thicker braided line that goes from the gas tank to the evap tank in the right rear tire well.

While doing so, the only way I could get that thicker hose through the conduit was to remove the 2 smaller plastic lines that also connect to the evap tank.
I've tried so many different ways of trying to fish all 3 through, but it's just not happening (unless anyone has some ideas...) and so I saw some old posts about deleting the evap tank as a whole and connecting the two lines at the top of the gas tank but it wasn't exactly clear to me exactly how and what to block off, vent, etc.

What I want to achieve is keeping the thicker braided line but delete the smaller plastic lines as I just can't get those fished through so if anyone has suggestions on that, I would appreciate it!


At the gas tank:
- Connection to large braided line --> goes to T
- connection to smaller plastic line --> goes to smaller line on expansion tank
- connection to larger plastic line --> goes to larger line on expansion tank

at the expansion tank:
- connection to smaller plastic line
- connection to large plastic line
- connection to T

at the filler:
- connection to T (with larger part connecting to braided and smaller connecting to expansion tank)

What do I cap, loop, vent to get rid of these stupid plastic lines ?
