I understand this is for an e34 m5 engine, however these s38 ITB's are very similar to the s14 ITB's in the e30 m3.

This is a step by step video on the complete restoration of an s38b36 individual throttle body set.

All this work was carried out by myself with only a few new wear parts that have been replaced!

For the people asking about how I restore my hardware using zinc plating,
This video is an in depth explanation of the whole process which I find invaluable to a restoration project.

I look to use this process during every single project, having my own kit in my workshop makes it so helpful to do however big or small of a batch to suit my likings,

Here is how I restored my s38/m30 starter motor!
With no real research into the work required before starting, I was happy with how the restoration went.

Here is the complete restoration of my s38b36 air intake, unfortunatly due to size restraints of the e30 engine bay compared to the e34, there is no room for this without modification which I did not want to do. This item is now for sale!

Continuing with my front assembly restoration, here is my front control arms.

I pressed out the old ball joints and bushes, sand blasted the arms and painted with POR15, the installed LEmforder inner and out ball joints with a powerflex poly lollipop bush. Enjoy!
