« on: August 03, 2008, 09:34:47 AM »

Ive took my car into the garage to get some rust removed and ive got it back and the bumper makes squeeking sounds when im driving.  Ive found out my rear bumper is loose, it will move from side to side.  What do i have to tighten up the bumper and solve the problem? Thanks Dean

Engine + Driveline / Where to buy lightened flywheels!

« on: July 09, 2008, 11:20:59 AM »

I don't think that 500 is too much.  It's a pretty descent price really.  It is not uncomman to pay over 1000 dollars for a steel flywheel and clutch.  It's probably a sachs clutch under another name.  But that's not a bad thing.  Just a little heavy compared to a full race clutch.  Still much lighter than factory.  Sometime you have to pay more for less...  weight that is.  I just bought a similar product myself.  It appears to be similar to the one your looking at and I paid around the same price.  Good luck.

have you installed the kit yet and if so what are your opinions of it? thanks

I am really interested in buying a lightened flywheel for my 318is!  But problem is i can only find one place which sells them but they 500 pound for it!  The only other place is ebay:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1990-99-BMW-318is-318i-STAGE-3-CLUTCH-RACING-FLYWHEEL_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZp3286Q2em63Q2el1177QQhashZitem170236575896QQitemZ170236575896

What do you guys think about the flywheel and clutch on this ebay link?  And also do you know anywhere else that sells lightened flywheels! thanks Dean
