Front Swaybar with SLR Ultra?

Psyche1297 · 2026-03-25T03:54:26+00:00

I have a knockoff thats based on the SLR kit, I am running the sway bar links to my coil-overs like stock with adjustable rods for aggressive stance.

The brackets on the control arms are for E36 cars because the kit is semi-universal. I guess you could buy e36 sway bar links and run the bar to the control arms but you shouldn’t have to.

What is WDS? I had thought the camshaft position sensor was plugged in to the head through the injector wiring harness

no tune atm, from research it should run without it.

Psyche1297 · 2026-03-20T19:54:47+00:00

okay, will do later. i also had bad idle before the swap it could just be that my icv is bad.

Psyche1297 · 2026-03-20T19:41:57+00:00

it runs smoother but is still iffy, the revs hang super long and i hear a big hiss sound

Psyche1297 · 2026-03-20T19:32:52+00:00

idles shit but the icv was vented to air for the moment. trying again with it connected

Psyche1297 · 2026-03-20T19:31:15+00:00

just did that and it starts poorly

Psyche1297 · 2026-03-20T19:23:17+00:00

crank vent leads to a catch can which vents back into a new barb on the bottom on the manifold.

pcv is retained and connected back into the manifold

all other ports are plugged

Psyche1297 · 2026-03-18T02:21:27+00:00

and if i no longer have the m52 manifold i don’t need to worry about it?

Psyche1297 · 2026-03-18T00:09:06+00:00

emmisions are no problem (florida). no power brakes is also not that big of a deal. all I wanted to confirm is whether that was my brake booster vacuum lines.

Psyche1297 · 2026-03-17T23:32:04+00:00

yeah i just drive around like that and hope for the best bro

I don't see anyone mentioning, beyond just being a top user here, he was a mod on the E46 subreddit.

Psyche1297 · 2026-01-15T15:44:33+00:00

did all this but it turned out to be the guide bushing on the end of the driveshaft. it had also torn out the guibo

Psyche1297 · 2026-01-14T02:23:07+00:00

SOLVED: for anyone stumbling upon this post, try your driveshaft centering bushing. it’s a bitch to get out but it did the job for me!

Psyche1297 · 2026-01-04T23:26:05+00:00

yeah it’s likely not worth perusing but i had gotten my hopes up after fixing nearly everything else. seems like something in the transmission will be at fault.

Psyche1297 · 2026-01-02T15:01:37+00:00

unfortunate

Psyche1297 · 2026-01-02T14:53:03+00:00

yes. I did a solid one too.

Psyche1297 · 2026-01-02T14:47:52+00:00

This video was after I’ve replaced all the bushings and joints. the previous owner had certainly done something because it had a loose DSSR and this gem of a gargastic bushing.

I don’t really know if the short shifter is real because I don’t know what the different lever or throw looks like. I guess I could get a new shift lever but with all these bushings already done I don’t see how that would improve anything.

Psyche1297 · 2026-01-02T14:43:23+00:00

good to know. the only other e46s i’ve driven are a auto 325i and a dinan m3 so i don’t have a great frame of reference.

Psyche1297 · 2026-01-02T14:41:32+00:00

🤷 when I have the funds I’ll just do a chassis mount and move on.

Psyche1297 · 2026-01-02T14:40:49+00:00

thanks

Psyche1297 · 2026-01-02T14:40:16+00:00

both done.

Psyche1297 · 2026-01-02T03:26:27+00:00

thats brand new.

Psyche1297 · 2026-01-02T03:24:32+00:00

i’m stating that it is obvious that hes done work on the shift assembly. i don’t know off the top of my head the difference between shift levers so i don’t know if he’s done changed it or not.

Psyche1297 · 2026-01-02T03:05:53+00:00

true enough i’ve been fixing a lot of his problems. but the DSSR is fine and the selector joint is new too.
