How difficult is it to get powersteering on my 318i then with a Z3 rack?

I've got a 1984 318i with no power steering. I want to keep it this way but wondering is there any racks out there which would give me better turning ratio?

Its a 1984?

What price with delivery can u do? Pm me plz

I need help to source a matching pump or if anyone knows if its possible to fix it as its very noisy?

I've just bought a 1984 e30 318i with no history but it is in very good condition. Somwhere along the line it must have service history! How can i go about trying to obtain any history or info on my specific car? The guy i bought it off said the previous owner was due to send him the history but tha...

im looking at buying a 325 engine and gearbox together! with taht hopefully soon to be purchased, what of those bits will i need then, and how much will they cost me?

hi guys, i've had enough of the 320i auto! i cannot get the gearbox to engage with engine!! i have now decided to do a swap and install a 325i block and manual box! all i know i will need is a pedal box for the clutch pedal! what else will i need? and is there any guides where i can get some guidanc...

fluid is deffinelty fine! i cleaned it all out again today, used air compressor and cleaned through rad hoses too, which flushed everythng out! could it be that the torque converter has slipped of slightly and not engaging witht the shafts? but wot i don't understand is it spins fine with flywheel, ...

hi guys, today i replaced my auto box for another auto unit! my e30 is a 320i. its a non-switchable auto box! the problem is now, it will only start in park and neutral, which is normal, however when i shift into gears, the engine revs up propa, but i cannot get it to engage with gearbox to then eng...

hi guys n girls, i have just taken of my auto box with the torque converter! wen i remove the TC from the box, the bearing in the centre where the spline connects to wobbles a bit! is this normal??? also there is a thick wire with a funny connector dropping down from the shifter inside the car, it l...

yeah i figured out it was because i left the handbrake on!!! stupid i know!!!

but it still wont go into reverse or rev above 2500rpm!!! which im worried about!!!

cable??? would that be the one on top of the engine where the throttle cable is?

i have noticed that it doesn't rev fully, only to about 2500rpm!!!

sorry!!! one more thing!!!

the car is on axle stands right now! when in drive, only the right wheels spins! the left one doesnt spin!!! could this be the diff???

hi guys n girls, i've got the e30 out again to try and sort it out! a few months ago while driving the car, all of a sudden it wudnt shift into reverse! when i do put it in reverse, it goes forward! also in park it would go forwqard as well!!! today i have changed the transmition fluid, cleaned the ...

the switch itself, it feel right, however, i do not see any cables or wires to this, under the switch there is not wire or connector or nothing?

bracket??

u mean the gearbox mounts??

i would appreciate as many suggestiions as possible, as next weekend i will be jacking the car up on stands and having a propa look!!!

what do i need to look out for???

how should it be originally???

yeah it revs, but is still limited!!

i have noticed though, that the other cable not the throttle one, but the other one which is i think the kickdown cable??? this has loosened alot!!!

could this explain this??

nah there is no mats in the car!!! lol!!!

Hi Guys, todays i changed my fan belt n power steering belt and flushed the whole cooling system! I then took it for a quick spin, everything was running fine!
