    Good looking thread, good looking car- I was the young lad 'marshaling' on the 5th i could tell you were picking it up quickly, we would of been driving but parts of our car are still left in the barrier at Swaffham and the rest of it is in the scrap yard.


    For anyone that are interested; HumberSlide is a few people who have asked local land owners to get a few cheap skid days in and around Hull, East Yorkshire due to there being next to nothing bar Teesside, even then that's a good 2 hour drive and isn't that beginner friendly compared to a flat concrete area. The two blokes running it have got their car painted up quite nice, and our new E36 is on its way to being painted too so everyone is quite serious about it. For more infomation look up 'Humberside drift scene' on facebook and 'hugster' on here.

    Did you fit your hydro? When you next jack your car up could you do me a favor and take a pic of where the hyrdo is T pieced into the brake lines. Fitted one to mine not long ago but doesn't seem to work very good just slows me down abit :/

    Matt at slide did it for me mate but the T bar is at the back just next to the fuel lines and tank.

    I bet you have air in the system try bleeding the system. Also how are you trying to use it are you going slow of fast / trying to turn. Try toughin the brake then pull it i bet it works a million times etter as you will have air in the system and it shoots fluid to the back of the claipers locking them up

    ah right i see. I bled it a fair few times but it could still have air in there i guess. I have done it a different why to you i have T pieced it into the too brake lines running to the rear brakes.

    Are you aware of how dangerous it is to drive without headrest's?

    You can break your neck at silly low speeds if unaware.

    It's just plain fucking stupid.

    If i put my foot on the brake then try and pull the hydro you cant pull it.. :/ dont think the pads are the best on the back tbh so will bleed it again and change the pads :)

    Those wheels are horrendous, the rest is good. The orange 15s are better, 46 wheels on a 36 make me self harm. Is nice though, I do like a nice e36. The grill & crap in the bumper pops out if you're looking for more cooling btw.

    The 46 rims are just for daily as i dont want the car to stick out too much as a daily ;)

    Keener yes that is right but press the pedal a little and as soon as you release the pedal pull the hydro and it will deffo lock the rear wheels its not about the discs and pads it should still lock what ever :)

    Our last E36 did this, the calipers were seized and pads were fucked. Make sure everythings in full working order and bleed it again and again.
