There's alot of stuff about this project that I don't understand, but most of all, why do they need to make it 6" longer by cutting the car in half? So they can spend more money on making a longer driveshaft? [scratch]

Cool.

"I'm gonna get myself killed" That's what I said when I bought my E30 convertible. $300 is cool, but there are a lot of bushings that will be shot. You'll have a great old time doing the rear subframe bushings. I brought back an E30 from it's death bed, and it was expensive and very, very...

Okay, a 1995 is an E34, which is what I have, but it's a 1992. Basically I bought the exact same car as you're looking at buying about 2 months ago. Lowered, Dinan Chip, K&N filter, M5 rims, M5 front spoiler, cross-drilled rotors all around, leather, heated seats, 6-dics CD changer, 198,000kms...

BMW sells stuff to spray on it, but I've never tried it.

You could put a Zender or Racing Dynamics bumper kit on it.

Your dipstick goes through the oil pan, and is attached to the block... that might be holding it on. The only other thing I can think of off the top of my head is to count the bolt you removed, and then count the holes in your new gasket and make sure you have the same number... maybe you...

What a waste of time. If they didn't want that M5 they could have given it to me.

I think I've been okay, I'm certainly no angel, but as far as I can tell we've all been pretty good. This is the only forum about anything that I post on, and for good reason. Everyone is very helpful and mature, and I can always learn something every time I log in.

[werd] All pretty good places to start looking, and more than likely the alt. bearing.

[werd] Welcome to the club. If it's leaking from the corner of where the roof meets the front window, and the top of the door, the only thing I can suggest is using some foam tape. The only part I know that can be adjusted is the two clamps that hold the front of the roof down to the front...

True, quite different indeed. We just need to see a detailed picture of the engine, and between Justin, Joseph, Jordan and I, we should be able to tell you what the engine it's from and if it'll work. I know you can put a M50 engine in a E30, BMP Design has a step by step CD-ROM on how to do...

depends if your car is auto or manual. If it's manual (sealed, no dipstick), it might be leaking from the output shaft seal, the drain plug... the housing might be cracked... If it's auto, it's not sealed, and there should be a dipstick. If you check under the car and look at the tranny...

well, like you said, it is notorious, and all I ever hear about is how you need to carry as few keys as possible on your keychain after you get it fixed.

yeah, but it's a little bit harder to tell if it's an "e" or an "i". (2.0L, 2.3L 2.5L & 2.7L are all M20's)

I definately hear ya.

These are the people we share the road with. Maybe he/she is just inside the car after putting the fronts on and is warming up before doing the rears!! [confused]

I know that an E30 steering wheel lock can be removed after removing the steering wheel. There is a ring with a tab that sticks out (the lock) that is held in by a few screws in the back of the wheel. Once it is removed you're home free... but like I said, that is on an E30... however, you...

they probably didn't put any anti squeek gel on the back of the pads. They vidrate and squeel without a vibration dampening plate between the pad and the caliper, which are sometimes supplied with the pads, or you can buy a tube of gel that should be applied to the back of the pads before...

Just drive around with your windows up. That's the best. And when it's too sunny, leave the roof up too. Just don't ask Carroll Shelby, Jay Leno, James Dean, or James Bond where they bought their wind screens from. Unless of course you're a girl, in which case, I'm not sure where you can buy...
