0 B C Posted October 17, 2013 Report Share Posted October 17, 2013 From personal experience: If you have the time, remove the engine and do everything from outside the car. You will need some decently tall jack stands either way. Send me a PM If you want to give me a call sometime and I can talk you through what I had to do on an E30.

0 YoungCR Posted October 17, 2013 Report Share Posted October 17, 2013 I told you a little bit about it a Dubs Downtown. You're parts car is a manual correct? Taking the parts off that would teach you how to put it back on. I could give you a write up later tonight when I get home. Basically if you know how to change a clutch, thats a majority of the work.

0 YoungCR Posted October 19, 2013 Report Share Posted October 19, 2013 What u mean by that cyoung? Once the trans is out, taking out the engine isn't a whole lot more of work at that point. Especially if you just drop the subframe with the engine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 RamRod E28 Posted October 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2013 Anyone done a rack and pinion swap to an e28? If so what's the best route of going? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 B C Posted October 19, 2013 Report Share Posted October 19, 2013 I dont imagine that to be a very difficult project though a little bit of mount fabrication would be anticipated. The main thing to look out for is the height that the steering rack would be mounted at in order to minimize bump steer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
