Ordered a Z3 steering rack.

Best. E36. Mod. Ever.

[Bishop]

Hmmm, lemme know what you find Sam. Did it stop working altogether? Cause you knew the noise was there going into it.

Seriously? That much of a difference?

[blefevre]

Once you all start switching your racks out, I will take a M3 one :)

Seriously? That much of a difference?

For a track car? Definitely. I could run all of PMP without taking my hands off 9 & 3. Big change from the shuffle-steering with the stock wheel/rack.

Driving down the highway it is noticeably more nervous on-center, but overall not too bad. It's really nice having fresh tie-rods up front too, all the play is gone from the front end.

My M3 rack was blown up, and there was almost a $200 core refund for returning it.

[Roland H]

As do I.

Case in point: I aligned my car yesterday. All 4 wheels. :-)

OH SNAP.

why would E36s be easier to work on? they are newer, bigger, and more complicated in every aspect. I mean, E36s aren't HARD to work on, but my E30 318is is pretty dang simple.

E36s are designed to be serviceable, and aren't rusting shitpiles. Try doing rear brake lines on an E36, then on an E30. Same for slave cylinder, springs, front struts, etc. Everything is easier on the E36. Being bigger means more space for bigger hands and tools. More complicated? not by much. they are very basic, and extremely serviceable. If I had to choose one car that I had to own and maintain for the rest of my life, it would be an E36.

SCORE!!

My wife alerted me of a particularly interesting yard sale this morning, Apparently this lady's husband had died and he was an auto mechanic and she was selling ALL his tools it was awesome. I got a buffer, a cutting wheel/angle grinder, a pneumatic cutoff wheel, two jack stands, gear wrenches, standard wrenches, soldering iron, 12V tester, air nozzle, tool cart, and TONS of other crap, all for $60.

Nice

I like it a lot, even on my street car.

Who'd you order from Chris?

[fsmtnbiker]

Maval/WorldPac.

naw it works fine, the noise has just steadily gotten worse and worse until finally I had to start wearing earplugs.

I think it is just bearings, because putting in thicker oil w/ lucas stabilizer made no difference whatsoever, so it is probably not the gears.

Either, way, i'm gonna pull it apart and fix it, no sense in letting another 4.10 LSD go to the wayside.

Let me know how long the seals last...

[blefevre]

Anyone heading up I70 anytime soon? I am trying to buy a rear ski pass seat in Gypsum from "bcausey" but I am leaving on a trip on Thursday. Too busy with work and packing to get up there in the next two days. If anyone has spare room for a rear E30 seat let me know :) Long shot, I know.
