lance350

strangely enough when i changed my battery the Nissan dealership gave me the best price. the old one lasted 12 years so they cant be that bad.

Finally fixed my window washer jets after reading on another thread about the one way valve thing getting blocked.

Seems very premature, even for a cheap bearing. was the axle nut torqued up properly?

honestly i would just wait till you find a decent e36. The e46 is heavier, has a lot more problems with rust and the 25 and 28 lumps aint as strong as the m50. I find the best place to look for e36s is gumtree or autotrader you see the odd one put up that has been owned by an old boy for the last 20 years, has full service history and is a decent price.

325 is defiantly the car to go for its an iron block and practically indestructible The gearbox are the same. the lsds are next to useless by now unless they have been rebuilt but for drifting your better off sticking either a welded 325 diff or you can use a 320 diff for a higher ratio but you will need to change drive shafts and half the prop. The biggest problem with these cars now will be rust and worn suspension/bushes. You can replace the suspension very cheaply with ebay coilovers they are very stiff buy perfectly ok for skids. The bushes are a pain in the arse but will definitely be shot by now. Replacing rear subrame and trailing arm bushes made such a difference on my e36. As for rust expect all the usual places to be bubbling by now all arches, boot lid, bonnet but again if its a drift car this really wont matter just make sure you have a good look under the car and check for excess rust where the sub frame is attached. Other than that dont worry about it too much parts are cheap so if anything breaks it can be easily replaced. Just go out, do some skids and have some fun!!!

That's the one. great film!

Perfect. Thanks Mate

haha was it a yellow Range Rover by any chance?

sorry to hijack but does anyone has a link for the standard yellow inertia bulbs? I only have one working at the moment and it bugs the hell out of me

Anyone know if you need a working rear washing jet for MOT? Mine has stopped working and I cant hear the pump go when I try use it.

No worries mate

I would get your battery checked first. The alarm used to go off all the time on my track car if i hadn't run it in a while and the battery went low. Plus the cold really affects older battery's this is probably why it is going off on cold nights.

I don't think you need to buy a fancy resistor kit you should be able to use a normal 2.2ohm resistor (you might want to double check that) its a really straight forward process just make sure you disconnect the battery and make sure to drain all the power. I'm sure there will be guide on Google.

100% agree FWD is the sensible choice for snow but there is nothing more fun the a e36 320 with a welding diff in the snow as long as its no too hilly where you live. They have been on the up for a while now a friend of mine has almost double his money on an m3 he brought a couple of years ago.

Im struggling to find anything rwd for cheap. e36s used to be a good shout but they have shot up recently
