They are ESM 004. They were on the car when I bought it. My style 5s will be on soon. Polished lip, gold centers but what to do with the bolts?? Polish them or paint them gun metal? So many ideas, not enough time.
I have a PLX gauge but I need to get a new "brain". I fried mine.
It is a ton of fun! I don't know how to upload a video to the forum. I'll get one one on Instagram. Follow @drleadfoot.
I'm getting boost creap at 5000 rpms with a 5lbs spring. I think the manifold is flowing too well to maintain low boost. Up I go! 12-15lbs spring today.
I have 350 cop free miles on the car so far. At 500 I will change the oil and "try" to baby it to 1000. Probably will run 5w-30 Mobil, AMS or Royal Purple synthetic.

Oil argument starting now. Royal Purple HPS!! not the API stuff.

I thought it was strange but both are the same, neither seat will heat until someone sits in it. I don't see anything in he ETM that would cause that either, maybe they have open spots that make connection with weight on the seat. I don't drive it in the winter so no big deal. Thanks for the exact ETM for my car though, very handy.
-
FWIW my e36 seats do not heat unless someone is in the seat, not sure if it's supposed to be like that.

Yes. If it doesn't have 3 pedals steer clear.
-
I will take you up on that if I can't get them in redneck style.
-
Duct tape is awesome. Why is your shifter leaning so far forward?
-
Nice, I like the black wheels on the white car.
-
Welcome, Sounds like a nice e39, looking forward to pics.
-
Looks good, I will do that. Also going to try using a larger brake cylinder hone to clean up the trailing arm bore before putting it in. Hopefully I will be done with this car on Monday, I need to get it back to the owner and help him get his e30 back together so he can break it in before winter.
-
That is some good e36 awesomeness.
-
The cable has little chance of coming out of the trailing arm once it is that stuck. You could always detach the cable from the handbrake lever and pull it all of the way through. It would take a bit of work, but might be the best option.
That's what I was trying to confirm, thanks. I almost have the bearing cut through so I will just get it out that way. What methods have you guys used to reinstall?
-
Does the cable just pull out? I tried pounding on it using a socket over the eyelet to hit the outer sleeve and it wouldn't move. Didn't hit it super hard though as I didn't want to damage it.
-
Hmm, yea I don't want to buy another cable. I got the hub out no problem with a slide hammer. The axle is out and I tried the slide hammer on the bearing but it wouldn't budge. Ended up cutting a groove in the outer race with a die grinder and cutoff wheel. With some hammering and a chisel a chunk broke out and cut the back of my hand pretty good so that was the end of working on it until Monday when I am off work again. A little more cutting and it should come out. How did you reinstall the bearings?
-
E36 rear wheel bearings suck the big one to replace... Anyone know how to get the e-brake cable out of the trailing arm? I think its just a snug fit and a lot of rust has frozen it in for eternity.
-
Ok... but it could be the centerpiece of the engine bay.
-
Get one of these, they are awesome, and it will match all that wrinkle black.
-
Good to meet some of you, helps to put some names and faces to screen names.
-
Is that what you kids are calling it these days? haha
-
I ended up having a nice time yesterday installing all of my stainless hardware. The initial idea was to just replace all of the hardware you visually see. I now feel that is half assed and will be ordering all of the bolts I missed.
My OCD likes this.
-
Should be clean since there is no booze!
Oh, well in that case... JK. We will plan on being there to contaminate your 5er meet with an e36.
-
My OCD does not like this...
-
I should be able to be there for dinner, just curious how family friendly this wil be? If I am there my wife and 1 year old will be along.
-
Nice, those will look great.
