After having seen two cars lose power steering hoses at VIR right in front of me (it does a real doozy on your windsheild when this happens, and wipers don't improve it one bit) I want to take care of this. Also, are there any special considerations, other than the bleeding procedure, for replacing either of these hoses? I've done this on my 5 car, but never on an E36. The car had a puddle of Power Steering Fluid underneath it when I took it out of the garage to wash it on Saturday, so I figure it's about time to get this done ASAP since I have another school in two weeks. Thanks, Shane Kleinpeter Tarheel Chapter '96 M3 '8 535is

The water dries and leaves behind a mineral residue. The next time it gets wet, the moisture travels up the mineral trail and a little beyond. Then the process repeats and repeats. Eventually it will 'climb' the plastic, bridge the gap and start rusting. Jim Jonathan Evans wrote: > The penny is between 2 pieces of plastic.

#6. Pilot Sports vs. Bridgestone S-02 PP vs Goodyear GS-D2 - from Bsmith

Date: Tue, 20 Mar 2001 09:59:01 -0800 From: "Bsmith" <bsmith@microsource-inc.com> Subject: Pilot Sports vs. Bridgestone S-02 PP vs Goodyear GS-D2 I'd recommend looking at Yoko AVS Sports for the best price/performance ratio. I replaced the MXX3's with the AVS Sports at 20K miles. I now have 28K on the AVS's including two drivers schools. They are the best wet tire I've ever had and are certainly equal to the MXX3's in the dry. Noise level is similar to the MXX3's. Price should be lower than the Pilot Sports and the SO2's. Bob Smith 98 M3 sharked, gilled, and x-braced --------------- I am looking for feedback from those of you that have had 2 or more of these tires....I am finally getting around to replacing the OEM MXX3s and I am going to be buying 4 new street tires (I have R-compounds for the track). My priorities are (in order of importance): 1) Wet Traction 2) Tread Life 3) Low Noise 4) Dry Traction

Date: Tue, 20 Mar 2001 18:40:16 From: "Ron Buchalski" <rbuchals@hotmail.com> Subject: Re: Help with OBC Clock The easiest way to remove the sunglass holder is to slide a credit card or driver's license between it and the OBC. The credit card will depress the latch, allowing you to remove the sunglass holder. Once it's out, the OBC drops out, and you can replace the bulbs. NOTE: If you disconnect the wiring from the OBC, all settings and information (MPG, limit, code, etc) will be lost and will need to be reset. -rb >Date: Mon, 19 Mar 2001 23:29:10 -0500 >From: "Paul England" <ettsn@mindspring.com> >Subject: Re: Help with OBC Clock > >It's a bulb.

None of this stuff is sold for on road use. None of it. Every tuner has a disclaimer that it's for off road use only. So in my opinion there should be two classes of mods. One for road cars and everything stays compliant. The other class is off road and you the consumer get nailed by the authorities if you get caught. Pussyfooting around the OBDII code and what is to come is a waste of time. Either you are Green or you are Mean. Middle ground is useless. I wouldn't even bother trying to crack OBDII if I had the abiulity of JC and Dinan. I'd just blow the crap away and be done with it for those that want real performance. The ignition timing maps can still be fiddled for the timid or environmentally minded.
