OMFG! Help! Theres a broken bolt in my driveway!

[franz]

caliper carrier bolt?

Possibly up front, the rear is 17 mm.

I meant up front, they are 19mm there.

Well just got out from under the car. And I now have a new hate for the ass that sold me the car. The bolt was obviously holding the driveshaft to the flex disc, the problem is this is not a driveshaft bolt its not the same thickness as the others and thats probaly why it snapped... I'm going to sell this damn convertivle and get a gutted 325is with rollbars and big ass drifter can cocked to side exhaust now. :roll:

Guys, that looks like a nut, not a bolt head. It also has a washer...hmmmm.....lemme think about it...

There were a couple different sized holes in guibos. Why not just pick an extra one up?

I am in full support of ditching the cabrio for a gutted iS though.

[Hortos]

I apparently need both.

Yeah theres a couple of them around Ontario, I was at a mobil one race night and some guy came through in first gear with white rims and eyelids in a gutted 325is and all I could think was bah I don't have my E30 with me. Convertibles E30s seemed to be labeled as "cute" because girls consistantly ask to ride in it instead of the other "newer" vehicles around my house.


I have a CT26 turbo in my trunk and its getting lonely, and upon comparing it with my friends 300 dollar T3/T4 hybrid the CT26 is the size of a full T4... woo LAG city here I come!

A six dash pattern is a grade 8 standard (not metric) bolt.
Metric bolts have grade numbers on the head, i.e., 8.8, 10.9, 12.9.

Thanks

Thanks :)

After reading that I found out the bolt belonged to one of my Honda friends he broke his front engine mount in my driveway doing God knows what. Interesting side note one of my driveshaft bolts was missing for I don't know how long and I was doing burn outs and doughnuts with just two >.< Thank goodness for that E30 luck.
