I think Pussy mechanic or Zoggee's will be able to help if they can get the right parts. Its not really a direct swap. Depends on you engine as the coupling will be in contact with the headers upon turning. Therefore you will need to fabricate a coupling. As for the formula for the fabrication I will email you. So please give me your email. With that it will be a direct swap.

2cents
What are the improvement or advantages?

1. E36 racks - easy to find anywhere.
2. Turning radious as TJ wrote is much better.
3. No free play. I hate it when i turn my steering & the car still goes straight? This is the remedy. Very good if you wanna track it.
4. Steering response will be more direct - Which is same as No 3.

& last but not least ITS BECAUSE ALVIN done it, Pussy followed him & did it, Kaki Puchong also did & still is smiling bout it.
Muahaha ha h ah h ah haha h ha ha!!!!!!!!!

Now i'm charging for all the R&D work! I'm open to be bribe! heheheheheh :p
 
alvin,

sent u a pm.

i never knew it can be done in Malayaland :D ....only seen them over the net

by the way, did u fit a heat shield to the coupling?

i think fitting into mine shud be much easier coz its an M40 only.....A LOT & LOT of SPACE!

i asked around and it seems E36 rack is cheaper than E30 aluminum ones!!! good reason to do it...
 
hah... B) why everybody with e30 got steering rack problem ah..??? :)

it is the 2nd best upgrade if you get ur hand on a E30..not the exhaust,not he chip...not even the engine.

wanna know whats the best ....

ask me how I know... B)

But E30 M40 is famous for the 'free play' not so much with the M20 though ..

Hv changed the rubber thing countless time .. sama aje ..
mebbe it's time for you to change the metal U joint coupling (big money here).....or have the rack rebuilt or better still ingest the racun.
 
bmwky was in his diapers when 535 had the m40

even i had to learn from the mahaguru then........!
 
no lar, trying my marketing skills......

if got more ppl upgrade i get commision from the original racunner lar.....

come Larr!......mod Larr!.........no balls ahh!!!!!!
