      My Clutch Slave Cylinder Story. Not as bad as Bimmerman's but I don't want to go through that again!

      If you are not a car person, bare with me. There is a hell of a story buried in the jargon, just read on it's worth your time. Last summer ...

        I've been in that type of situation, it's not a good feeling. Fortunately for me it was working on a POS car for a friend in college and we got it sorted out with hours of work and plenty of beer(which probably contributed to the problem in the first place). :)

        I'm about ready to start tearing the head off of Clive, you should help, you got the skillz! First I'm going to replace some easy gaskets on the coupe and put the tie rods and sway bar links in...


        Looking for a clean e30 shell for a project.

          Awesome writeup man, it looks like the Z3 is more of a pita to work under than my e36 is.

              Regarding my tire discussion a couple pages back. I picked up a set of Dunlop SP 2000's for $300 new. Going to have them mounted tomorrow. Just in time for the snow!

                          There's more fail in the rear end than just the suspension....

                          Yes... and then the left front brake caliper wouldn't bleed, so I had to take that apart, and clean it out with compressed air. Now it's just bleeding extremely slow, idk if that's an E30 thing or what, but it's annoying....

                            The first time I bled the system it wasn't slow, just normal. Be careful the first time you test drive it.

                              I'm using the pressure bleeder at 10PSI. May have a different effect than the pedal.

                              I'm going to grab a bite, then give it another run of bleeding until I can get a nice firm pedal before I drive. :p

                                So I mounted up my RGR's. The 215/45's were quite a bit larger than the tire calculator I used specified they would be. I'm thinking it's a difference in tire manufactuers??? Not sure. It looks OG like I'm riding on 20's!

                                I need spacers, at least 10 prop 15mm. Anyone know a place to get them and longer lug bolts locally?

                                I also need my caster adjusted. When I got my alignment the idot at Brakes Plus had no clue how to do this. Do you guys know? I was going to take to Autosporwerks or Bimmerhaus for a proper alignment.

                                If my car needed more low before it really needs it now!
