#4. Corsa Exhaust - from Matt Bader
Top
Date: Tue, 18 Dec 2007 08:29:03 -0500 From: "Matt Bader" <mbader@exammaster.com> Subject: Corsa Exhaust I finally had a chance to install my Corsa exhaust on the car last night. The unit fit almost perfectly. The tips are slightly off center at the rear valence, but I think I can work them over a bit by putting some stress on the hanger brackets. The unit is definitely much lighter than stock, very efficient design, improved clearance underneath, etc. When you take the stock muffler/tail pipe off, the muffler looks so huge. Priming all of the bolts with WD40 a couple of days in advance of the job really helped as everything came fairly easily except one flange bolt. I had to cut that off with a rotary tool. One of the hangers was also a PITA to get seated properly. Also, working underneath the car while on jackstands is a major PITA as everyone knows. I am always a bit nervous getting the car safely on jack stands and back down again. I get the car up at the lowest level, and then go around and incrementally raise each one a notch or two. Then go around several times doing that until I have the desired height. Not sure if there is a better/safer way to do this. As luck would have it, I didn't finish until 1am and with my neighbor's bedrooms facing my garage, I didn't have the heart to fire it up. So, how's that for frustration! Today I go Christmas shopping with my new exhaust on board. Should be more fun than usual. I appreciate all the feedback from everyone on my earlier exhaust posts over the summer, etc. Regards, Matt Bader 98 M3/4 Delaware

One thing you will find is the exhaust will quiet down a bit after a week or so. I think the packing in the resonators breaks in or something... When I started mine and drove it the first time, it was a lot louder than I thought it would be. Now go find a tunnel....:-) Dave 98 M3/4 RSC36 equipped No virus found in this outgoing message.

#7. Rear Wheel Bearing Replacement - from Jeff Conner
Top
Date: Tue, 18 Dec 2007 09:47:19 -0800 (PST) From: Jeff Conner <jeff.conner@yahoo.com> Subject: Rear Wheel Bearing Replacement Hey all, I replaced the front wheel bearings on the 95 early this year, not very difficult at all. One of the drive flanges in the back has a stripped threads on one of the lug holes, so it needs to be replaced. I figured, "heck, since I've got to do that, I might as well do the bearings, too..." So, I cracked open the Bentley manual this morning, and it tells me I have to remove the drive axle. Really? Just to pull of the drive flanges and put the new bearings on? Now, being that I did the heagasket on the car a few months back, I've got the tools to do the job, but I just wanted to make sure I wasn't crazy. Well, at least not any crazier than I already am. :) Any advice, BTDT stories, etc?

I had a 1990 GSX which, for its time was a great car, and with a huge aftermarket following. I drove the Corsa-equipped Mcar a lot this morning. It is a bit loud, but not obnoxious, and as Dave says, it might calm down a bit. At freeway speeds there is no droning, and at WOT it sounds great!
