#1. Rear shock mounts - from Steve Tom

Date: Mon, 05 Mar 2001 08:39:24 -0800 From: Steve Tom <stom@qualcomm.com> Subject: Rear shock mounts I just blew my right rear shock mount at 56K on my 96 M3. What do you guys recommend? I'm looking at the Ground Control and Turner Motorsport. I don't need full racing but just the occasional autocross and track day to consider. Pros and cons? Is there a web site that compares the different ones? steve

I've | noticed a very low speed "vibration" as I accelerate slowly in 1st gear | (only). When I'm crawling in traffic and I'm slowly | accelerating/decelerating in 1st (1,000-2500 rpm), I notice an | unevenness/lumpiness that can be felt through the shift knob (but it | doesn't feel like the engine). It's very slight and you have to | accelerate/decelerate at a specific rate to really feel it. Go try it guys | and let me know if I have too much time on hands, or if they all do this! | | Thanks, | Colin | '98 M3 (JC, X, ITG), 30k miles | | | | ************************************************************* | List Commands | UNSUBSCRIBE - (in subject line) unsubscribes you from the mailing list. | DIR - sends a listing of files available in the list's GET directory. | GET filename1.ext,filename2.ext - sends the requested file(s). | | To issue a command/request to the server: | Send a message with the command you wish executed as the | subject of the message. | ************************************************************* | | |

Buy a 14mm Allen key (relatively cheap and easy to find) 2. Hack saw off an inch or so from the long end 3. Use the little piece with a 14mm box end wrench or regular 6 point 14mm socket 4. Save the rest of the Allen key for the next job that requires it Hope this helps, Rob Norwalk 93 E36

I think the EPA might have its hand in this one requiring manufacturers to cover emissions related problems. That way the lack of funds is not an excuse to further pollute the air. Check the manual though. Ed Tang 95 Cosmos M3 __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Get email at your own domain with Yahoo! Mail. http://personal.mail.yahoo.com/
