euro e30 323i at the junk and guess what?

HaHa oh so true.;)

i though the u.s m20 bolts fits no problem, i'm sure the bolts will still by there after a month or so, but fuck, 2 dollar entrance and gas...

The specs for the bolts are listed on RealOEM http://realoem.com/bmw/showparts.do?...69&hg=11&fg=10

parts 2 and 5. M8 bolts in lengths of 25mm and 30mm should be easy to find (and cheap, even in Class 10.9) at any hardware store.

Looking at the US-spec bolts, the Euro ones are longer. US bolts are M8x16mm.

yeah i was just on realoem earlier checking the bolts, no worries, but it was a noob mistake for not grabbing those while i was there.

i shifted the gear and i can pop it in reverse like my old 318is, it seem like the gear is stuck though, it can only go in reverse,1 and 2. come down and check it out, in stockton PNP.

i know i'm stupid but i check the tranny and its a regular e30 5spd. is there a possibility the lightweight flywheel is still inside?

Depends on the production month. If it was made before 9/84 it will. ;)


Also how the hell are you managing to fail that hard on this thread?

thanks, i can't wait to run this manual steering rack. i have driven 2 cars(04 sentra, 94 civic cx) with manual steering and its not even hard to turn at all, nothing like p/s deleted.

Don't waste your time, bro. The manual rack has slightly a slower ratio than the already sluggish e30 power rack (1/8 to 1/4 turn more lock to lock) so you would be hard pressed to tell the difference between a disabled PS rack and the manual one. I know this because i've had all the options (manual, PS, PS delete, and E36 rack)

No manual steering system turns easily while you are stopped especially if your wheels have created bonus scrub radius.

FWIW, 2002's have quicker steering than E30 stock and are manual but they are lighter cars. In a BMW, you either want PS or not , there are no magic racks.

Sell the manual rack to someone that is all excited about it's novelty and use the money to put an E36 rack in your car.

whats special in the rear end? i checked and its not LSD.

[mkcman17]
