Re: Gear Change

Crap it only happens when im slowing down coming of the motorway etc.

Are there any better ones than what the M42 has or is it just another replacement of the same.

Re: Steering pull

I have still not yet had time to check either.

I have also noticed now at highish speeds holding the streering wheel straight the wheels feel as if they are steering on their own. :mad:

Re:

Sort of the top is different as there is nowhere for the existing securing bracket to secure it. When i removed the rad from the e36 it had this rubber bit that comes off i used this to secure it.

Re:

This is where i found some water i have just changed my rad for a new one of an e36 as its all i could find and now it stays below half way.

The only problem i have now is that when i turn the heater blower on full the neadle flys up a few mm so i suspect a electrical problem.

To be able to do it all the time you need more power thats an answer or get thinner rear wheels like bicycle ones lol.

I had S14 running quite a bit and would drift in the dry all day long with no hand brake use.
