my '87 327i

long time since I've updated. been going though a lot of personal things.
anyway finally set up a time to change out my guibo, and man, it was... bad.

[!AjHoWzA!]

Ok I'm liking this a lot better haha ;) and ya a new paint job would be good

[squidmaster]

blegh. My slave cylinder went out. Put a new one in it. Have a new guibo that I've been waiting to put on, but I can't get the bolts off. I'll have to take it to a shop to get it done.

[squidmaster]

shit, I just redid my web server and realized that I lost almost all of my images....

whoa, so my clutch slave cylinder is gushing out brake fluid and my transmissions is missing a few torx bolts.... I have to start it in gear and rev match (luckily I had to do that in one of my first cars for a few weeks so I'm not so bad) but then the guibo is torn to shreds and the throttle cable is screwy so it makes it a bit harder..... I'll replace the starter, transmission, clutch cylinders (both while I'm at it), guibo, and rear-diff soon... I mean soon-soon. and figure out this camber issue.

It's almost a little nice to have a car with so many issues because this means I can kinda start over fresh and with it the way that I want it. I just wish it would have come at a time when I had a bit more money.

damn.

how would I idle at a stop light then? I could get it out of gear, but not back into gear. I'd have to (somehow) push start it. I'm not strong and I only weigh 140 so pushing my car really is quite difficult..... embarrassingly.

I'm going to have to get this clutch cylinder fixed, and then some other issues, and then I'll go back to the rear diff. I think it's the guibo causing the majority of the driveline issues anyway.

guh! last night my clutch cylinder took a crap on me! Left me stranded with absolutely no clutch. I can drive using rev matching once I get out of first, but I honestly don't know how to start out with no clutch.

Push start into second? Must be a bitch doing that every time you start the car tho

I have a 3.73 in mine and I love it. I drove my friend's 325e with a 2.93 and it was hell.
If you do a lot of highway driving the 3.73 might be too short, but I don't mind revving high going 90 down the highway, because I love the quick acceleration that gearing gives me.

1400 isnt that bad, nice save though!

I have a 325e myself...deff worth saving!

[squidmaster]

k thanks I will :)
but my clutch MC took a shit on me today... so it's parked somewhere else. had to catch a ride home... fuck.

0h, and your volvo pics didn't work.

was the rear end way too high?

I might just get some rear camber bolts and call it a day, though I'd rather figure out this issue with why it's even like that to begin with.

You could have a bent A-arm,, Thats what happened to my car. a previous owner hit a curb in snow so when it was at original height it was like |----\ ,, I would at least check it out ;)

Running the same springs in my car, kinda soft but great for daily duty. I didn't have that problem tho:/ both my wheels are /-----\ but that's normal for an e30.
