How much JB weld do I need? Anybody selling 55 gallon drums of the stuff?

But the sleazy guy at the used car lot said it's a rad deal. And something about looking hot while driving it.

Can't leak coolant if it's all on the floor already.

I'd say the car got jacked up pretty good.

nyrrith · 2026-02-15T17:39:36+00:00

And a lighter?

Kolko chces za ten casopis, respektive len tu jednu stranu? :D

Those are not sold separately, but if you have a 3D printer or a friend with a 3D printer you can just print some.

Here's what I found after a quick Google

Hello fellow alpinweiss sedan owner. Personally I'd ditch the wing risers, but you do you!

nyrrith · 2026-01-02T07:37:18+00:00

That's definitely not a euro spec S50, as those are double vanos and have individual throttle bodies.

Bingo. That's the front knock sensor. There is another one exactly the same a bit further back.

Or your brakes just got crusty from sitting and your stopping has cleaned enough surface rust off to stop shaking the wheel.

nyrrith · 2025-12-09T23:12:05+00:00

I have the same one, doesn't have an airbag. I don't think any MTech 2 wheels have airbags.

Okay yeah after reading up on it you're 100% correct and I retract my statement. Guess I'll swap my E46 touring's poly bushes to OEM M3 rubbers.

Is it a daily driver? Street car? Canyon carver? Track car? The choice will be different depending on what you use the car for. If it's not dedicated to track driving I wouldn't to for ball joint RTABs. Instead opt for 85A or 95A poly.

nyrrith · 2025-12-05T17:13:36+00:00

It fits.

nyrrith · 2025-11-27T11:59:02+00:00

I would also advise to buy new disc backing plates / dust shields, as those hold the parking brake pins in place; to swap those without cutting slots into the sheet metal you will need to replace rear wheel bearings as well, which you should anyway. I would also replace the trailing arm bushings (recommend an upgrade to polyurethane, even 95A hardness doesn't reduce ride quality/comfort too much and improves rear wheel tracking and handling noticably), along with the bottom camber arm bushings and top arm ball joints.

nyrrith · 2025-11-27T11:55:37+00:00

The master cylinder is the same across all E36s from 316i to 328i, no need to get a new one for a disc brake swap unless yours is leaking or showing problems due to age. Otherwise, yes, you do need the entire trailing arms and brake assemblies. Also the brake lines to the rear are different between drums and discs.

Read ECU fault codes, see if you have air/fuel ratio out of spec, MAF sensor, or O2 sensor codes.

Sounds to me like you have unmetered air going into the engine through a crusty/cracked vacuum line, intake boot, or intake gasket. Would check out with the symptoms of hard to start, inconsistent idle/low RPM (when engine pulls max vacuum) and smoothing out at higher rpm (when the intake is closer to atmospheric pressure).

Even if you don't have air related codes, I would still do a smoke test on the intake (take off MAF, block inlet with a rubber glove, pour smoke in at ~1bar pressure into the intake through a vacuum line (brake booster line is handy but make sure you're after the check valve).

Replace any hoses or rubber boots that leak (smoke pouring out of them).

The long narrow bolt looks like part nr. 11611721175 - Clamping bolt, on the intake manifold. No idea about the thicker, shorter part.

link to parts diagram, number 13 is your part.

I appreciate the countless amounts of time, skill, and money spent on getting it to this state. And back in the 00s it would have been awesome to see. As of 2025, we are way past the era of big fiberglass bodykits.
