Being a "professional continuous process improvement contractor" I vote that guy should write a DIMAC to move people in a line faster and share to the class. (Sarcasm intended)

Stuff happens...

Would stock 87 IS springs work (170k broken in:-)? If i change out the sway bars soon the old bars would be available. If you want what i have we might be able to work out a price. don't really...

I have been looking too :-). He just took a lot of pictures. Beside the engine, the cars looks ok and worth a trip. He will swap to the original rims but not sure about the other stuff. He is in...

There is a red one for sale on craigslist as of yesterday. 89 325i. 5000 for a 91 with 225k is too high for me though.

Next time you drain the coolant, put in a fumoto valve with the hosebarb end to replace the block bolt. Then the next time you drain the block...attach hose and open with no mess.

Tried it on my...

Nice e30 convertibles.

Anyone on here own the e30 technic? My daughter enjoyed it and the license plate was perfect. Nice car.

Good show.

Try tapping on the side like hoyabmw said. That worked for me on one side. The other took a fork and many blows to get it to pop. If you use a fork don't worry if you tear the boot. I have to...

I am going to guess you are using the 101 performance book from pelican....He has a different compressor then you (and I). When you compress the spring you are tightening from the top.
...

I guess i am not going to be able to answer your question but will try again.

You should not have to do what you are doing if i understand the picture. Just assemble the strut with bearing, off...

The compressor should not be on the spring when you are going to install the strut if i understand the tool you have from the picture.

Assemble the entire strut (with bushing) off the car. Then...

You need dot 4 fluid. One can of ATE should get it done. if it is your first time, get two and have one as a backup.

If it is an insert like the e30, use a larger pipe wrench.

I know nothing about a 850 though.


Jared

Yes. This would be a shop/garage jack.

20"

ordered from http://www.asedeals.com/automotive_floor_jacks.html

Shipping was quick. Price included (they ship from AFF)

Jared

If the head is not picked up i will will take it for future spare parts.

Yea that city is a mess. I lived there in 2002 and waited exactly one year (relocation agreement) and got the hell out.

I read an article that abandon homes are being knocked down in some cases...

I have not had the pleasure of having a suck fan. When you put it on dont tighen to tight. i hit it once with a rubber mallet. i never use the two tool system. IT will not come off.

It depends...

-->I need to know where the coolint drain plugs for the engine are.

Right under the the exhaust on the left hand side. It is a mess even if you let it drain slow. I recomend you get a fumoto...

If you are doing the tbelt........Cam seal is right there. Cap and rotor are off. you did not mention the tentinior but that too. acc belts might be a good idea.

Cam end seals(x4) and adj the...

I have the hex head somewhere in the tool box if you dont find one. 17mm rings a bell.

No gas should not be doing that. I assume the regulator needs to be replaced.

Check the intake elbo ribs for cracks. I over looked that part for years when i had idle problems.(only happened...

i am going with the simple hard to fine vacuum leak, but more information is needed. you car is old and i would guess has close to 200k if not more.
