TiAg M3 back from the dead

[0-60motorsports]

Yes that kit seems to be a legend haha.
It makes me think of our local craigslist, where everyone thinks he has a rare item and asking a premium for it.
I'll be running that suspension as when I bought it, it made quite a good consensus.
I'm no chassis expert, so I am certain I'll be satisfied with it. I absolutely loved my previous KW V2 set to full soft, still kicking myself for selling it, I hope to get about the same with this kit. We'll see.

This might be on par or better than the V2's. Looking forward to your feedback on them.

I am making good progress.

Underbody protection on.



Old vs new e brake cable



ABS sensor screw decided to split in half. Need to find a way to get it out now



Had to order new FCAs. Those things are pricey ! Sorry for the dirty hand.

Welcome back!

Le plus simple pour ta visse du ABS sensor serait de la couper et ensuite tu la perces et passe un tap pour refaire/nettoyer le filet

I need help please.

Shouldn't there be a cross tube between the left and right part of the tank ?
Can't see it in the new old tank and mine is long gone sadly
I can't see it in real oem either




Help is appreciated thanks.

Indeed, thank you.
Damn that is a steep price and now I am missing that part... Where could my fuel tank be ??

Fuel tank and fuel vapor recycling system back on the car.
I'll sort the crossfeed thing later when I'll have found mine or bought another one.

Found the sucker (which it actually is haha)
Was in my company's warehouse and I hadn't seen it.

Weld a nut to it.
The thermal shock will help getting it unfrozen.

Too late for that sadly.
I tried to lock the remaining part of the bolt in a vice, and then using the spindle to turn, but that just broke the remaining part of the bolt, so that option went well hahah.
I'll now drill it out.

Complete fuel system is now back in the car, along with a fresh fuel filter. I could start the car but without exhaust I'm scared to wake up the dead.

Welcome back! I remember your name from the old m3forum. You should start a member journal (there is a forum section for it). Glad to have you back.

You'd be surprised what you can make happen with a TIG welder if you're competent.
Drilling out works as well, just be very careful to do it straight.

I also advise to use a left handed drill bit so in the event the bolt is ready to come out, you will have all the chances on your side.

Drilled it out. Please admire the centering.
Tapped the rest out and then re-tapped the thread.
New hardware made of stainless steel. No stress on that bolt so I don't care.

Thanks. Will do ! Once it's back on the road I'll try to summarize everything that has been done to it from the start.

I used a column drill, original thread is still in good shape so I believe it turned out OK.
I never welded anything, and don't own a TIG or MIG, so that option didn't exist.
