What did you do to your e36 today?

[AlpineM3OldAsMe]

I like the white on white. Very early 2000s.

Haha very, I hope to get these Double Spokes properly refinished and powder coated. In person they are completely beat. It's all about knowing your angles!!

In addition to my first rallycross, I also did my first autocross this weekend:

[Bostongruen]

Motor mounts with an unattached stud and 160k and were replaced. What a difference!

[ABmwlove]

Install angel lights, and wired them to the interior dim lights.

[ABmwlove]

Fix an apparent EWS2 issue.

A few weeks back, also change carrier center support, flex disk, and replaced differential (due leak).

[NSBFTW]

Ordered new adjustable camber arms to dial in my alignment. Along with a rear ball-joint upgrade and new bushings for the rear upper control arm. When this is all said and done, I'll have replaced all suspension components but the subframe and differential bushings.

[Moron95M3]

nice!! Enjoy the...fun of removing the old stuff. If you're a canuck..I'm guessing you'll have some rust. I had to cut my bolts out of my old arms, and trashed the arms in the process^^

I am a proud Canuck and I'm fortunate to own a pristine never winter driven example! Fortunately, I haven't had anything seize up as a result. Fingers crossed I don't have to cut anything off!

Those Upper Inner Bushings are the most fun to get out too haha. My subframe Bushings slid out in comparison.

Depends where. Mines a 20 year old canadian car and I've never had trouble with a bolt underneath.

swapped out stromung exhaust for M3 exhaust. Gawd my highway cruising is so much more pleasureable at Low speed sound is sweet purr. Also swapped out 19” CSL wheels to staggered 17” e46 M style 68s with Michelin tires 215/45 and 245/40s rear. Power delivery with 3.38 diff and lighter wheels as well as turn ins are so much smoother now.

Put my front end on jack stands and worked the wheel lock to lock and looked for binding. Even with the wheels off the ground and running it is difficult to turn the wheel. The bearings inside the column must be made of dust at this point. It binds the wheel and makes it extremely demanding to turn the vehicle. I'm looking into this kit

My rack doesn't bind, but mine is squeaky some days. It must be one of the bearings or the slip ring.

[AlpineM3OldAsMe]

Yeah everything underneath the car looks and feels good, when you turn the steering wheel it sounds like you're breaking a bunch of plastic spoons in half hahaha

I think you guys might be north enough to not get quite as much slushy salty wetness. The rustbelt through the midwest is just warm enough that most snows melt, and we get saltwater slop/slush most the winter instead of just snow.

[Bronickishere]

Finally found a fix for the saggy needles in the gauge cluster... Tired of pimp smacking the dash every time I want my tac and odo to work properly...

Company in Colorado you mail your cluster to and they diagnose it and then basically dismantle and restore the whole thing! I'm mailing it to them today, but I'll believe the results when I see them in roughly a week... Parked until then.

Also ordered the Power Pulley kit from Turner and some new clear corners as mine are not fitting properly. You know, broke the infamous tabs at the back.

Mine let's out a nice grunt from time to time. Price seems reasonable but I worry the effort to replace everything would be pretty high.

Well my steering is getting past the point of sketchy now. It does look like a half day job if everything goes well. I think it will be worth it

I'm in Vancouver, so its mostly just rain. Only snows like 5-10x a year.
Car got driven to whistler a lot though which is always snow, slush, rain on basically every drive up there. We use brine instead of salt though which isn't as hard on cars usually. I also wash the car after every trip before it gets home.

Next time I get a set I am going to snap off those stupid tabs with needle nose pliers so I am spared the disappointment of them breaking on install. I just put some RTV in the lower rail on the headlight, they don't go anywhere now.

I like the white on white. Very early 2000s.

Or late 80's. I had an 88 10th Anniversary edition RX7 turbo that all came white on white

Swapped out the hood emblem for a cheap knock off. Gonna go with OEM on the trunk. Replaced the broken rear seat belt cover which look soooo much better than the busted up one.

[verobeach97]

Where did you buy new seatbelt cover. Mine needs replacement too

Sea to sky highway is one of my favorite roads of all time. Very jealous

Picked it up off eBay for $39 (some are trying to sell used for close to $70). They go for about $49 new from Bavauto, but shipping to Hawaii sucks for smaller orders. Incredibly easy to swap out.
