Flushing transmission and differential fluids - BMW E36/7 Z3 M Roadster
มุมมอง 2083 หลายเดือนก่อน
If you have not done this already, it may be a great idea to flush your old transmission and diff fluids. It was definitely time to do it on my S52 Z3M.
Driving on Tail of the Dragon - BMW Z3 M Roadster
มุมมอง 3253 หลายเดือนก่อน
My stomach wasn't cooperating, but the drive was well worth it. My Z3M was definitely a perfect choice for this trip and RT660 tires kept the car planted. Tail of the Dragon/ Deal's gap is appropriately called the "Hillbilly Nurburgring." It's 11 miles long and very demanding. My average speed was in the 40mph region.

    This is incorrect. You're supposed to seat the caliper piston seal on the piston in the proper final position prior to inserting the piston into the caliper. You should also lube the internal seal so the piston slides in effortlessly. And third, you should not lube the outside of the piston seal as all it will do is attract dust and grime which could lead to premature wear and failure of the seal.
