[Haggard_guy]

I'll be at Lydden again in May !

i never drifted my last e36 and the one i have now is open diff and i feel if i clutch kick once the rear subframe mounts are going to snap. whats done to the car to make it kick out so easy? do you have an LSD or a welded?

[kevbot]

he said in a previous post that most of his suspension is solid mounted..so thats definately why the car kicks out so easy

I got a welded diff, bmw lsds are ok but 2 way lsd is the way to go (expensive)
the front and rear top mounts are solid along with the subframe bushes being solid
before I did all this the car felt like a rubber band. it's 100x better!

random mis fire and hotter runnin started the other day. thought I'd check it out with a compression test cos it has been more than a year I did one. and compression was down by alot on #4 #5
i replaced a spark plug that looked like this #4
mis fire went but came back after a few minutes. covered in oil again I assume. so there's serious oil issue on #4. I drove it anyway to my girls and it over heated and drunk 2 l of water ! on the way home it did the same but got too hot every 15 minutes! and 2l of water gone in 15mins. soooooo headgasket or something is cracked.




#4 !



the block is very good condition though with no visible cracks. cross hatching looks like new still

so I'm trying to get a used head to put on... lame times

[nellydragracer]

If that's an ally block, which looks like it is, be careful when tightening the head down, when those blocks are overheated the properties change in the material, so when you pull the down it pulls the thread out. But depending how hot it got, you might be ok.

the hottest the coolant ever got was about 120oC the oil never got too hot. what do you think?
these blocks are notorious for stripping the threads too. but it can be done!
