how? how much? & where? to fix these problems...

[MMNJTWA]

i brought my car into a good mechanic shop for a tech session today -'95 ///M3 with 114,500 miles- and got a *FREE* inspection

this is what they found:

problems:
-guibo going bad

-need new RTAB's

-front/right strut leaking

-need to flush/bleed brake system

-already knew about bad t-stat & i am going to replace WP anyway at the same time already has a (fairly) new radiator

not too bad for a 8/9 year old car w/ 114K+ miles on it (just the basic problems of an E36 ///M3)


fixes?:
-got the "fan delete kit" and new WP already (waiting to be installed)

-i am going to get bilstein sport struts and keep the stock springs

-where to get a new guibo? how much? hard hard/much to replace?

-where and what RTAB's to get? how much for them? (going to pay for them to be installed probably)

These items are covered a lot. Try a search, I'm sure you'll find everything you need to know about how to DIY.

thanks... i guess couldn't hurt could it? lol

[dave is cool]

Many places quote 3-4 hours to replace RTAB's. Figure the average labor price is $80 an hour, so it will probably be close to $300 to install the RTAB's.

i got quoted 300-350 to install the rtabs and gc shims and an alignment ..
