meh just need a brake bias adjuster. The 318ti brakes are enough for trail braking. The larger half shafts would give a better piece of mind but I just remember to keep it smoother on the clutch, haven't broken one yet.

Why would you have to pull the dash to change out the heater core

Pulling the dash doesn't make it any easier at all.

[Wschnitz]

Yea don't you just take the center console out and wiggle the sucker out?

[Pdxseth]

Never actually done it, in my e28 pulling the dash had to happen.

E30 dash swaps are cake. Either way, heater core is an hour job all said and done...unless you have a 24v e30, then you add an hour to that for intake removal/install.

Heh, now that I'm 24v, I remembered that my blower is loud. Oops. Can't account for all the "while you're in there" shit, I guess. Hopefully it'll die after winter...

[e30austin]

Haha. You can unbolt the trans brace and drop the subframe down and get it with a c u n t hair's width of extra clearance. Ask me how I know.

[Habla]

Roger. I'll probably just pull the intake, when the time comes.

Yes cake, but time consuming, and nerve racking when you have a perfect dash.
