Does anything seem off or broken here? the lock doesn’t seem to be mechanically connected to anything?

Also not sure if that’s how it’s supposed to look.

Wasn’t able to enjoy over the summer but few more weeks to have fun with this beauty!

Any aftermarket or DIY fixes for a broken contact pin? Been driving my e30 without a horn for long enough lol.

The whole job took me about 4.5 hours but install was decent. One of my GSP axles came with grease in the diff flange mount holes?? They were also misaligned so the bolts could not go through properly (PITA)
The axle shaft also seemed to not have any paint so I quickly sprayed some rustoleum high heat (not pictured)
Rubber boot quality seemed similar to OEM.

Overall 4/10 but will see how long these last. Cost me about $230CAD with shipping

Hey e30 family,

For those who’ve purchased any of these axles (not GKN); How have they treated you in the long run?
Is it better to buy 35 year old oem axles and attempt to refurbish them?

Would appreciate any advice. I need to get the car rolling again for the season :)

So over this winter, I swapped on Z3 hubs on my stock trail arms and CV axles. And possibly >200KM into the setup, I’ve blown my axles as they’re leaking from both the diff flange and the hub region.

Could any 5 lug experts explain what went wrong and next steps to take ?

I should mention that this car was originally a 320i and i’ve swapped the engine to an M20B25 but retained the 168mm diff and stock axles.

Those who’ve gone widebody with this kit. What are your honest reviews? Do you have any pictures of when you received it?
How much work was needed to make it work?

Thank you.

Is this a clip anyone recognizes ?

Back again with another noob question. How do i remove these turner eccentric poly bushings? Any tricks?
Ideally without damaging them because i’d like to sell them.
Thanks again guys ( car is supported by jack stands on the frame haha)

What the fuck? All the tutorial videos i’ve seen and the diff has just dropped with the bushing bolt removed. What do i do now?

Any advice is welcome. This has been the worst job i’ve done on this platform so far

Hi guys,
I need these out sooner than later but my boxend wrench is not enough to loosen these.
Sprayed it with PB blaster and let it soak for 2 days now (no luck)
Are there any tricks to get these off? Alternatively I’ve recently bought a grinder attachment and won’t be opposed to cutting them off. Is it safe with the fuel tank so close? (cannot confirm if it has gas in it)

Would appreciate any advice. I seriously needed this differential out like yesterday!

Hey guys, how do I go about removing the front bumper off a factory m-technic optioned car? It’s not like the usual bumpers where access to the bumper shock mounts is available (T50 bolts). The plastic cover is in the way but also seems snugly fit and I don’t want to damage it by yanking it like an ape.

Would appreciate any help.

PFA: since i have a similar 2 piece bumper

Hey guys,

Since it’s finally stopped snowing in the north… I’ve been able to make some progress in my 5 lug swap.
The positive caster of the current setup i’m running is ridiculous! not sure why.

Anyways. I’m having some rubbing issues on the inner fender liner. Albeit, the tire size is 245 but I was wondering if spacers could remedy this (i like the pokey fitment) or if I should add more positive caster with the SRS adapter.

Cheers ( Don’t mind the patina, will get to that too)
