Joe. --------------- So I pull into work and notice a strong gas odor in the car. I look under the car at the fuel filter and see no leaks. But I remember reading sometime back on the digest about a failed clamp that connects to the fuel pump. Do you get to that clam from the rear passenger interior side? Any help on this is greatly appreciated. Jay Johnson 95M3 dakar/chip/intake __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!

#2. PF-90 - from Patrick Dargan

The front brakes consisted of PF-90's and floating rotors left from the previous track event. She hated it for the first two days as she couldn't seem get comfortable in the manual Vader's. Eventually ended up loving the car. Wondering now if I can get it back...

Toe-out is the worst. I run zero toe with -2 degrees camber. Inside edge wear is not a problem. There's a little, because of the camber, but not much. Jay 97 M3/2

#7. eccentric powerflex bushings - from Justin P.
Top
Date: Wed, 31 Jul 2002 14:37:32 -0700 From: "Justin P." <jpaek421@attbi.com> Subject: eccentric powerflex bushings Hello, In which direction do the offset holes on the front control arm bushings face for a 95 M3? Towards the outside closer to the wheel or inside closer to the drivetrain? I attempted to take my vehicle to get an alignment done this morning, but it turns out the shop who pressed in the powerflex bushings pressed one with the hole on the outside and the other with the hole towards the inside. Thanks. -Justin Paek 95 M3

Did you notice any unusual tire wear with zero toe? I went from factory spec to 0.12 degree toe-out for better autox turn in response and suffered terrible inside edge tire wear on my street tires :-( Need to move the toe back to a point where my street tires will not disintegrate, but not too far.

Date: Thu, 1 Aug 2002 10:26:18 -0400 From: Colin_S_Whelan@rrfc.raytheon.com Subject: [E36M3] Cams and Underdrive pulley Hi all, I was wondering if anyone had a dyno curves of the Eurosport/JC cam kit for a 3.2L, as compared to a JC intake/software baseline. I know Eurosport has the dyno versus a stock car. Any real world performance comments? Anyone in the Boston area have this upgrade? Also, did anyone have dyno curves/comments on Evosport underdrive accessory pulleys? I looking for the next upgrade :) and am not sure if I want to go as far as supercharging it. Thanks, Colin '98 M3 (JC intake/software, Dinan Stage I, X-brace, Euro rotors, R4S, clutch stop, redline...)
