Leave it as is. It will look like ass if you use something aftermarket

Anti roll bar bushes is a good place for poly.

Thanks, i had bought one of those switches as mine never had it since ive owned it as there was some munted crap in there. Once i realised the bulb goes into the back of the new switch i bought it was straight forward. Also realoem threw me as the bulb shown is wrong

can any share some pics of where the glovebox light is located and how it sits and the type of bulb?

i pulled mine apart ages ago, cant find some bits and dont remember how it all went togther

Anyone reinstalled one of these back into the car? Is it best to apply the A/C lines once the box is installed in the car? The lines were very difficult to access for removal so getting the lines started and making sure o-ring seats (and you are supposed to wrap the ends afterwards) which would seem...

i managed to get the lines off while in place wasn't much fun though. i didn't want to pull it out with lines attached as i have extra wires and crap under there due to aftermarket ecu and previous owner crap stereo system and was bound to get tangled For install i might install hand tighten, then s...

i am looking for this but not broken/cracked. if you have pls let me know.

willing to buy additional parts incase dont want to break it up

i am in the process of removing the heater box. it is disconnected except i cant access the A/C lines to the expansion valve as there is too much stuff in the way. what is the best approach here? 1) leave the lines attached to expansion valve and pull box with lines throught the firewall grommet aft...

Are you referring to MK Motorsport ?

Where did you procure those FDK units?

Hi guys, I've replaced my camshaft for a 302° CatCams and i think my clearance is not enought between pistons and valves. Engine rotating well by hand but when i look thouhgt the spark hole with a boroscope, it's look around 1mm to the closest point. What should be the minimum clearance for that ki...

my guess it'slikely an aftermarket cam. it has new HD rockers, the yellow paint, new looking lobes etc

measure the lobes or the lift if you have the equipment

Backbox from alpina c2/b3 2.7 wanted.

New boots about 6 months ago

Pumping the pedal lightly/slightly and quickly helps firm it up temporarily and travel is greatly reduced. i am not 100% sure the M/C holds pressure as when i press hard it may ever so slighty keep going down but its very very slight. i think the first thing suggests possible air in the system and t...

Well first drive didn’t go so well. Pedal has very long travel and relatively light. I’m going to redo the following didn’t follow 100% hopefully it’s just a bit of air https://bmwe30cabriolet-wdm.blogspot.com/2019/08/how-to-purge-your-abs.html Can you get a firm pedal with the engine off?

Unfortunately to find someone who has done it you may have to resort to FaceAche unless Dan chimes in as I think he has done it. But looking at it from above it you put e36 M3 brakes with an E30 M/C you will get a long pedal, just as you get a really short pedal with standard brakes and E32 M/C If ...

I see what you are getting at, as far as the bias goes, the newer setups are more rear biased so I don't think it will be a problem as there is more affecting the resultant bias anyway. You can always put a reducing valve in the rear to tweak the bias if needed. As far as the pedal, I think you hav...

is anyone using the e90 booster and M/C (25/22) with big caliers 60mm fr and 40mm rr e.g. e36 m3 calipers (or e34 540/m5) with 5lug or similar? how did the pedal end up? very light and long travel or is it ok? I haven't looked at it but was planning to do the same (E36 m3 calipers all round). Best ...

I have just got my e90 booster would these work rather than bending brake lines https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/175464644294?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=CfWbZDI9QQ6&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=rCEZxzLfTk6&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY In theory yes it would work, but I'm with flybynite i...

Perfect, glad you got away without clevis modification. Yeah I think you've about nailed it on reducing spillage. keep the reservoir sealed and hopefully it will hold most of the brake fluid in. Aside from that, work quickly to get the lines in. :D i have a fancy power/pressure bleeder and just rea...

i have bench bled the M/C and the ports are plugged and the thing is ready to install, Are there any tips to stop all the fluid pissing out by the time i remove the plug and can connect the actual lines in? i am running a remote reservoir so there is a length of hose to the 2002 bottle. So i gather ...

It turns out i had just enough room to extend out the plunger to get it to make contact with the pedal so no need to modify the clevis

so it turns out the pin positions on mine are a couple mm out which is enough to permanently activate the brake light switch as it works out to be magnified at the pedal due to the pedal ratio, is the switch adjustable? know the early style are but mine is the boxy plastic looking one 1989 car Edit...

I'm pretty sure I reset the brake light switch on an E30 at some point in the past. Setting it goes something like this - you have to push the switch centre back into the body of the switch and it sets itself when you put the switch back into place. In other words, take the switch off, reset it. Th...

Ahh yes, I've had many a frustration with brake line nuts, they are pretty much designed to spoil your day. I find heating up the thing it's screwed into (usually caliper) can help a lot as it increases in size slightly, then carefully spraying some penetrating oil on the nut itself to cool it - sh...

No worries, sounds like you've come up with a good solution. Hope the brake booster swap vid helps you out too. yes, i got some nice lines made up and issue solved. As always though have other issues with one of the tube nuts on the other side being seized on and now rounded over no amount of heat ...

Hi mate, these are the exact lines I used for the rear with my 5-lug swap, and it seemed to fit great for me: E30 Inner rear brake lines: https://ebay.us/qEnkSk E30 front brake lines (used as outer rears): https://ebay.us/p5oE51 Hope that helps! Thanks, i have decided to try get some custom hoses m...
