The Random E46/ZHP Question Thread

Alternatively, you could see if you could find someone in your area with an E46 with a stock clutch and give their car a drive to see how it feels.

But I think there isn't much downside apart from the chatter of a lightweight SMF.

Thanks for the input guys! I really appreciate it. Perhaps I can convince a local owner to let me tag along for a ride, Curves.

The aftermarket setup is cheaper than OE. And I really.... Reeeaaally like the way it feels. If the only thing I'm gaining from going OE is not having the transmission sound like it's eating itself..... I'm ok with that. Plus the faces of passengers when clutch chatter happens is priceless.

The upside is it could be retrofitted as a GPS antenna or some other antenna in the future if I went the route of a aftermarket GPS head unit a la Dynavin, Avin, etc.

Getting ready to install my PSS10.

I've read the "L" is supposed to line up with the grove in the knuckle with the pinch bolt, but is it the letter "L" itself or the little vertical line next to it?

I see what you mean.... Damn those Germans

I would imagine it's the line. There's another alignment line above the 'M'.

I've got two good eyes. :biggrin

At least I hope so... been a while since the last optometrist visit. lol

What's the Mafia's opinion on poly v. rubber subframe and diff bushings? A little extra NVH isn't really a big deal, but within reason.

Although I'd like to get her on a track a couple times a year, it is a daily driver.

I went with AKG "black" poly bushings for my rear subframe and differential when I did my suspension last year. No complaints; almost imperceptible NVH increase from the stiffer material. Lemforder rubber or ball joints everywhere else. Drives great.
