A few questions

[LennysEleven]

I noticed a strange noise today when moving in reverse, or when rolling reverse when car is in nuetral, kindof a deep clicking noise coming from the passenger front wheel area. Any ideas?

Also, has anyone ever upgraded their oil cooler? If so who says a better one?

I have a 90 325i (BTW) If I want to do a direct swap to a better brake master cylinder what car should I get one from? Was ABS standard on my car? Ive never noticed it working before.

thanks

Clicking noise could be anything. I wouldn't worry about it.

The stock oil cooler works. I really do not know why we have oil coolers, I don't see the "need" Definately no need to upgrade it.

Yes you have ABS, to test it get to about 50MPH+ and stand on the brake pedal while holding the wheel straight. If you make lots of smoke and slide like you are on ice then your ABS isn't working. If you hear random "grinding" noises and the pedal pulses, then your ABS is working.

Get the brake booster from any number of cars. I think the 750iL is where most people get it from.

I think Jordan means get the brake master from a 7. It should be 25mm.


As far as a brake booster, does anybody know of one that would produce a larger amount of vacuum assist and bolt into an E30?

Thanks

Why on earth would you want to do such a thing?

I'm working on a project where I'm trying to maintain a stock pedal feel using much larger components downstream.
