sup guise. Sold my suspension then put fancy stuff on buddy's Evo till 4am. It was a good day.

anyone want a 95 M3 steering rack?

[kronus]

got some of the insurance stuff settled. also a good day.

then the guy with the car I want told me he's showing it to someone else this weekend :s

[Bimmerman325i]

lame. talk to him about the cooling situations?

[kronus]

yup, right before he told me he's showing it to others, heh.

I got a block leak tester though (thanks to Danny for the suggestion) so it's easier to check the condition without having to do a full on leakdown.

[Bimmerman325i]

that's lame, another one will come around. I wonder if the guy knows it's unhappy and is trying to sell it because of the repair bill....

Is the m3 rack better than e36 regular or z3?

In between, I replaced it with a non-M Z3.

It's 3 turns lock to lock instead of 3.2 from regular e36, but it's progressive. meaning slower on center (was awesome highway cruiser) but past some degree amount (half turn IIRC) it gets faster than the z3 rack. It's a great rack if you're not looking for a scalpel (z3 rack) but want something relaxed in character but still fast. I didn't notice as big a change as I thought I would have, it's only within the first 200 degrees of rotation or thereabouts that the difference is noticeable....i.e. autox type chucking.

Track/autox beast? not the best. DD? pretty good for that.

Where are numbers to back that up... As i recall the 95 m rack actually has less travel as well
