I can tell you WOT is probably more exciting ;-) Lucky for me, I remembered that my brakes make more HP than my motor so I slowed the car down. I believe there was another person that ended damaging their car with stuck throttle. As I can say, if you have an E36, just buy the damn clips and install them in under 5 minutes.

It'd be pretty hard, although maybe not impossible, to use a hacksaw blade because of its flexibility. Rubber is difficult to cut by hand due to its binding against the blade. You should be able to rent a sawzall at any tool rental place. We borrowed one from a neighbour. Neil 96 M3

#7. Stuff For Sale - from Seth Thomas
Top
Date: Fri, 20 Jul 2001 09:46:17 -0400 From: "Seth Thomas" <porsche993@mindspring.com> Subject: Stuff For Sale Guys, I was looking through my garage today and I have to clean some stuff out. Here is a list of parts that I have for sale. Make me an offer on this stuff. (1)E36 M3 halfshaft. This was in my car for about 3000 miles but was replaced when I did a diff swap. Make me an offer. (2) Sparco seat mounts and (1) set of sliders. These have never been used and are still in the box. I did not use them as I had custom mounts made. $250 takes them all. (1) Set of 30lb Bosch injectors. Used them on my supercharged M3 for about a month. Make me an offer. (1) Set of 3.2L fuel injectors. I think these came out of my 1997 M3. I can't remember I just know I have them. Make an offer. (2) Sparco Sprint seats. These are blue with yellow lettering. Came out of a SSC Neon that I bought. Replaced with a Pro2000 and do not need them anymore. (1) Set of factory lights and turn signals. These are the amber ones. (1) Factory Flywheel and clutch for a 3.0L M3. It has about 50,000 miles on it and is in good mechanical condition. (1) E36 M3 Alternator. This is out of a 1995 M3LTW. Worked fine when I took it out of the car. Reason for not needing it now is that my Euro motor needed a different alternator. (Various) I have an assortment of parts needed for a Euro motor swap. If you guys a thinking of doing the swap or know someone who is please pass them my email. I have a lot of parts I need to get rid that will make the conversion easier for them. (1) Set of front E36 M3 front brakes. This is all the lines, calipers, and rotors. (1) Set of H&R Race springs for a 1996+ M3. These were on my 1997 M3 for about 10,000 miles. Stiff but not too stiff. (1) Set of LTW Race springs from PTG. These are the springs that a lot of people are using in SCCA T2 and club racing. Very nice spring if you don't want to go to a coilover. Cost on these new is around $800. Will sell for $350 firm. (1) Set of parts needed to use a stock spring with the Ground Control Camber Plates. These are just the upper mounts and some metal washers. But it will allow you to use the stock diameter springs instead of a coilover type spring. I think this is about it. Parts with prices are firm unless stated as obo. Make me an offer on the rest. I need to clear this stuff out. Seth Thomas www.m3ltw.com

#8. Airbag Operation - from Nickerson, Joe
Top
Date: Fri, 20 Jul 2001 09:40:06 -0400 From: "Nickerson, Joe" <joe.nickerson@lmco.com> Subject: Airbag Operation Guys and Girls what are all the components in the Airbag system that can cause the light to come on, and what is the most common to fail? What I'm looking for is, driver seatbelt sensor, passenger seat sensor, airbag computer, acceleration sensors, airbag, and usually the ___ is the most common failure. Quick background, car is a 96, one day airbag light pops on after going over a bump, dealer resets it, week later it pops on again, dealer resets it, plugs their computer in to run diagnostics, tells me all components are working good, resets light, week later it pops on again! Now I understand that it may be intermittent and hard to diagnose but this is getting ridiculous! Thanks, Joe
