Should they need to be replaced on any of our cars, you will certainly see a video!
CAN YOU DO SOME VIDE REPLACING HOOD SHOCKS?
Most E30 owners install a Signature Motoring performance intake kit for around 9HP gain. Cost is a mere $150 or so, best value per HP gain in the E30 line.
Install time if only about 30-45 minutes in most applications. I have one in my 89 325i cabrio.
Crazy nice sound. Most regular guys install a Signature Motoring performance intake kit for around 9HP gain in the E30.
Install time is about 30 min, maybe 45 for two left hands, LOL. Great sound and extra performance for around $160.
That works, send me a link!
Actually, I’ll reshoot the video on a more close off road so I can get to 3rd gear, I’ll let you know when!
Certainly can! Thanks so much for sharing, it’ll be up in a few days. 🙂
Hey e39 source mind putting up my latest video of my e39 m5 with magna flow exhaust? Just wanted to share it with the community.
Never mind, didn’t notice it sticks out a little after he closes the bonnet as well. Mine also sits a little further in, but on my old E39 it was sticking out a little more like hes car
He had probably already pulled the lever inside the car, otherwise he wouldn’t have been able to open the bonnet
Mine was stuck quite badly, what I did was pull the lever inside the car as far as I could a couple of times, then pull the bonnet up until that lever in the grill pops out, once that’s out I could open the bonnet!
This is when I sprayed a load of engine degreaser on it and gave it a good cleaning before spraying some WD-40, it does a pretty good job apart from it still looks a bit minging but atleast it worked for me 🙂
in mine when i close the hood, you cant even reach that paddle until you open it via inside the car (the paddle inside the car wich you need to pull in order to open te hood)
so my guessing is, yours stick out tomuch
i hope you understand what i am trying to say with my crappy english atm
