Would any one be able to help me put an mtec wheel on my 91 318is? I think i need more parts all i have is the wheel. Air bag wheel to non air bag wheel. Thanks matt

I MIGHT bring down my grey turbo'd turd for an engine debut, but well see. May be ETA weather.

[eddie]

eddie can you do tachometer calibration as well?

Will need to configure my E30 M3 8K tach for my S38B36

yeah, do those all day long, have already done 3 this year...

seriously though, send it to north hollywood speedometer...i don't have the parts to convert it from 4cy to cyl...

if it were a chevy, no prob!!!

might want to do it now as it may take a while...

Post a picture of what you have, you should only need a washer or two for a spacer behind the steering wheel nut since you're converting from an airbag car.

Some washers will solve that. You might also want to bend the turn signal stalks away from the wheel too. If someone has a heat gun that might be nice to bring. It would make bending those cleaner and easier.

so everyone knows, i do have tools here, air, so forth...

but remember i am a speedometer shop, so i may not have the specialty tools that are required for certain jobs, so if you have tools, bring em..

i do have 4 jacks here, and approx 12 jack stands, but 8 of them are not to lowered car friendly...

i will be using at least 4 jack stands to work on my car, so if you have a jack and stands and wanna work on your car, bring em...

we will also be setting up the projector and the wii..so if you do not wanna work on somethin, you can play wii...

maybe we will bring the paint ball guns and we can charge people to shoot chris out back to make some lunch money...

Yeah I was thinking about north hollywood speedometer. I did hear it takes awhile, hence the question.

Thanks!

thanks forgot about that part! I just used a Momo spacer for the Momo hub to pull the wheel closer to me and away for the stalks, but obviously that won't work on an OEM wheel :)

Do i need a wheel puller?

[e30love]

I have some e30 parts looking to trade or sell. Ac parts mostly and a 240 getrag manual tranny etc.

[cramer]

Do i need a wheel puller?

No. Hardest part is getting the airbag off (which really isn't that tough either). Once you disable your air bag system you then remove the torx screws on the back of the steering wheel and pull of the air bag. The wheel itself is simply held on by one nut, not pressure fit.

thanks you guys

Personally I like having the close stalks on my mtechii wheel. Plenty of room for hands to fit for agressive driving. But close enough to make signaling effortless.
