#2. rear stb in m3/4 - from kitwetzler@mindspring.com

This was at legal speeds on city streets. I've run an AA rear bar in my M3/4 for quite awhile and it's been fine. Car is pretty stable. Of course, my previous car (2 years ago, now) was an S2000, so maybe I'm not the one to ask about a twitchy butt. -kit -------------------------------------------------------------------- mail2web - Check your email from the web at http://mail2web.com/ .

The best way to bleed the brakes is the old way - two people, pump about a liter through for a full flush. The only way to bleed the ABS is to cycle the pump with a diagnostic machine - pumping the pedal just clears the possible air bubbles from the caliper.

Date: Tue, 5 Mar 2002 16:38:13 EST From: HYPERM3@aol.com Subject: RE: Rear Shock Tower Brace I have a Dinan rear bar on my car right now. Its been on there for about 4 yrs through daily, drag and auto-x driving. I have my car set up pretty stiff in general and can honestly say I couldn't tell a bit of difference for about 4 months when I had the bar off. The only reason I still have it on is because it looks good and under wishful thinking I hope it strengthens the rear strut towers to the point where they wont crack from heavy loads under hard driving over time. Otherwise, I wouldn't waste my time if you don't have one. My $. 02 Alex "HyperM3" Demsky 97 SC M3

#7. [E36M3] 2 Buttonwillow Questions - from twisty M3
Top
Date: Tue, 05 Mar 2002 13:48:52 -0800 From: "twisty M3" <twistym3@hotmail.com> Subject: [E36M3] 2 Buttonwillow Questions 1) Any of you listers in the San Jose area care to comment on how long it takes you, at mostly legal speeds, to get to Buttonwillow? My sister is thinking of coming out to see what this track stuff is all about and to bum a ride or two from some instructors, but Mapquest is telling her that it's a 4 hour trip. I'd assume it to be closer to 2 hours, but I've never come from that direction. 2) Does anybody have in-car video of "Race #16" configuration--counter clockwise? I've got clockwise pretty well memorized, but I'm looking to get a headstart on learning it in reverse. I'm assuming we're running the back straight, and not the bus stop.

James, this sounds very interesting, as I've read the power/driveability virtues of having the fan/clutch removed before. Could I trouble you to know exactly how this works? I'm assuming the 318i's switch trips at a lower temperature, right? If the engine fan/clutch is removed, how is the engine cooled? Is there a secondary electric fan that kicks in? I would go look for myself, but my car is at my mechanic's, having a clutch/aluminum flywheel put in. (Yay!) It's been two weeks and I'm going through serious withdraw! - Chris (never know what you've got 'til it's gone)

The Gear Wrenches are pretty good, IMO. I like them much more than the standard ratcheting wrenches from Craftsman or Snap On. They appear to be more low profile. The best price I've seen is http://www.thetoolwarehouse.net/shop/TTW360.html They have a 16 piece metric set, but I'm not sure of the utility of the 20, 21, 22 and 24mm wrenches to justify the additional cost. Any comments? I'm seriously about to pull the trigger on these. Chester --- Robert Manger <Robert_Manger@Mastercard.com> wrote: > Anyone have a good source for one of those racheting box wrench sets.
