Looking fresh

Looking good fella, look forward to seeing the end result.

Very nice

I wish I did this sooner...

Nice work.

Love the brakes

Found myself a E46 purple tag steering rack, also ordered all the conversion pipes, engine mounts & steering shaft from Danthe. Hopefully sort a couple of E34 steering UJs too... The rough running, I'm putting down to all the power steering fluid that has been splashed all over the engine from the f...

Been away from the zone for a while, mainly because the car has been working 100%. Took it for MOT this morning & found out my power steering rack has shat itself & is leaking fluid everywhere. What is the best option for upgrading & what is required to do the job. Secondly the car has started runni...

Fitted new wiper blades & finally got round to giving her a good clean & polish.

Nice to see a touring getting some love...

I like the sump guard for the engine, never seen that before.

Really like what you are doing with this chromie.
Love the wheels & I wouldn't say no to the e34 wagon.

Nice job Tigerfish, where did you get the kit from?
This is on my to-do list...

I have H&R Cup 60/40 on my Tech 1. I think it is a good suspension upgrade for track use. I use it on the road and it performs well when I go for it. It corners pretty flat but has enough give if you hit bumps or in your case clip curbs. The car also doesn't lurch under hard braking. Consider renew...

Nothing wrong with a Bosch battery, get a S5 & you'll still have enough change for a decent amount of petrol.

Make sure you refresh your top mounts, sway bar links, rubbers bushes etc, to get the best out of any new suspension set up your gonna do.

Wow, really nice work.
Love the attention to detail...

Cheers for sharing, some nice metal there.

Welcome to the madhouse, nice colour

Im about to upgrade the Mrs from her k11 micra to a mk5 Golf gti, manual, 5 door.
Just wondering if anyone has had experience of one of these & also what is the best forum to join?

Always liked this car, very nice.

Get some pics up...

Scrubs up really well.

Replaced generic -60mm red lowering springs with -60/40mm H&R Cup kit springs (cheers Simon), Replaced rear spring pads with new, Replaced worn shocks all round with new Bilstiens, Replaced front shock cover & bump stops with fresh Febi ones, Replaced front & rear upper top mounts with new Lemforder...

Love this thread...
Keep going with the electrics, very satisfying when you know it's all working & cleared from all the aftermarket sh*t.

Great result & excellent write up.

I will be keeping an eye on this, nice work.

My starter motor just shat itself, might still jump it to make the Ace

Just taken it all off to check & redo... Still got the same issue, getting pissed off now, cant remember how many times I have taken this apart now. Almost feel like going back to standard. I have used an alloy machined adaptor, so I can use all the original hoses etc, brand new intake gaskets, meta...

Hi Guys Just completed the m50 manifold swap on my e36 328i. Went & started the car, but it seems to have a really low idle & feels like its missing. Generally behaving like a pig. I will double check all vacuum connections etc shortly, but if I find all is ok, will this issue iron itself out eventu...

Just did a flyby, needed a break from m50 manifold swap on the e36.

Some nice cars out tonight, just the type of motivation to crack on.

May pass through again later....

typically the injectors get stuck in both the manifold and fuel rail due to the tight fit of the o rings, i prefer to leave them in the rail, and remove the whole lot from the manifold by spraying the base of the injectors with wd40 and wriggling them around, that usually breaks the seal that forms...

I'm currently doing the M50 manifold swap on my E36 328i. I have got the manifold loose, but the injectors are still in place. Should the injectors be separated individually from the rail or should they just be pulled out from the manifold? Obviously I don't want to break anything & give myself a lo...

Azevs are getting a little refurb.

15" BBS back on,
Washed & waxed,
Replaced sunvisors with fresh ones.
Tided up the leather gearknob,
Repaired the driver's door panel by fitting new clips,
Went for a spin.
Oh yeah, bought new suspension....

The Et13 Mims will be 11mm closer to the arch compared to the standard et24 15" BBS. I don't know if 11mm may be enough to cause a rub on a lowered car. 15" BBS back on, went for a quick spin, happy to report that all is well. I think 50 profile tyres instead of 55, maybe a better option for the 15...
