#1. Brake shudder - from Dave Hogg
Top
Date: Tue, 04 Apr 2000 21:28:21 -0400 From: Dave Hogg <springwood@BlazeNet.net> Subject: Brake shudder Tim, This might sound funny but check your front wheel bearings closely. I had the same problem last fall and discovered a bad left front bearing. It's the only thing I could find wrong, but the bearing showed me no other obvious symptoms (that I noticed) while driving. Just another data point. Dave Hogg NCC Tryin' out the new bearings Sunday at Jeff Circuit!

#2. Re: [E36M3] offset question - from Jim Powell

Date: Tue, 04 Apr 2000 18:38:45 -0700 From: Jim Powell <jsp98m3@home.com> Subject: Re: [E36M3] offset question Yeah. I have 8s in front, 9s in back. I like the IFGs fine except for the center caps. They will spin out (they screw in) unless you Locktite them in. Too much Locktite or the wrong strength (don't use red!) and you will have one hell of a time getting the center cap off to balance them. IFG should mill the center hole out larger, forget the threaded insert and go with snap-in center caps like the rest of the planet. Other than that gripe, they are a fine wheel.

#6. SRS Light - from Larry Gilbertson
Top
Date: Tue, 4 Apr 2000 22:35:11 -0400 From: "Larry Gilbertson" <lgilb141@bellsouth.net> Subject: SRS Light To anyone that might be interested: I sent this to a couple of listers individually, but with the latest thread maybe more of you are interested. Here is my $2 solution for the recurring SRS light. This works on my 95 ///M3. - Find the three conductor cable coming from the seat belt carrier. - Locate its connector under the seat. It is a flat three pin plastic piece about 1/2 inch wide by 3/4 inch long. - Disconnect it and cut the wire bundle going to the seat belt carrier leaving a couple of inches of spare wire. - Solder a 100 ohm resistor (I used 1/2 watt) between the two outside pins. The center conductor/pin is not used. - Tape up the solder joints, reinstall the connector, and tuck it up out of the way. - Repeat the above for the passenger seat. - Have the light reset. Your SRS light will never come on because of seat belt problems. Just remember, your SRS circuit thinks you are in the seat with the seat belt buckled so that's how you should be. Regards Larry 95 ///M3, Daytona Violet TMS chip SS brake lines JTD ODB & gauge kit to be installed as soon as I solve the interference problem with the ODB (better clean up the pool of oil resulting from the first attempt) BTW don't do this the day before a drivers school.
