as long as you don't heat the metal up too much it's fine. Done it on the BMW and my old ford. And countless other cars. I didn't even burn the paint off the subframe when I did my bushings. __________________  No more ti. | | | | | 04-07-2011, 04:29 AM | #1083 | | Senior Member Join Date: Jan 2010 Location: Oakland Posts: 187 |

Is there a thread for changing these on here somewhere? | The bushing! Yes, it was just a tad dangerous. There are a bunch of how-to's for E30s around (I googled it) . That's what I used as a guide. __________________ No more ti. | | | | | 04-08-2011, 02:36 AM | #1086 | | Senior Member Join Date: Jan 2010 Location: Oakland Posts: 187 |
I removed the traction control throttle body, since asc willnever work. I also removed my airbox snorkel... If any one has an extra abs unit from a 98ish car they want to donate that'd be great!  __________________

I fixed my drivers door window AGAIN, hopefully for good this time, I had to bend the front track the window kept popping out when it was down and you shut the door, I slammed it a bunch of times, seems to stay in for now... __________________
