Found a set of an almost-new Whiteline front 27mm anti roll bar on the bmw-sg forums and I had to have it. Whiteline don’t make them anymore for the E34 since 2008. I also missed my purchase during my trip to Sydney some years ago. I have been looking for a proper adjustable ARB for a long time now after having experienced the ride in a friends’ car. This piece i found was so new, it was merely test-installed, it was then left in storage for a couple of years.
The parts are being bolted as i post this. I have been running the E34 with my old E30 3:73 LSD mounted on the older, smaller E34 rear subframe. How, you ask?, well that’s because i’ve also been using the M20 long-shaft and most other rear drive parts, including the driveshafts, brakes. That is unacceptable but good enough until now. So I recently found a guy who supplied me with the 540i rear axle complete with:
Here they are. Speedworks got my Hot Bits made in about 2 weeks. Basically, like before, it requires the factory Front E34 struts to be mated to the Hot Bits coilovers. I’ve gone the damping adjustable route this time, coupled with external oil canister for the rears. It’s unfortunate that the fronts couldn’t accommodate the canisters due to space and E34 Strut design constraints. But I may have it made in the future and have the front canisters piped into the engine bay, if it’s not too far.
The rear unit with the canister as shown. Compared to my previous Titan coil overs, the Hot bits looks much better built, has better aesthetics and includes the little little details like polyurethene spring shims, anodized spring perches and so on. Much better thought of i’d say and has probably seen lots of technical improvments through the years.
A trolley for each client. What a rare and pleasent experience. A definite must for all workshops here in Malaysia. As you can see, that’s a new rear suspension top mount. I’ve also had new front top mounts ordered. Hot Bits also makes camber adjustable front top mounts, but that’ll be for another day.
Here’s a video of an E34 running on Air Suspension from Air Rex. There really isn’t many other options for such application for the E34 so the Air Rex should be it. And by the way it looks from the driving video, it looks like something i would get if i ever wanted to go the Air suspension route.
Here are the pictures of the poweflexes for the E34 in a complete kit!. I ordered them through a Singapore dealer Hotwheels for a good deal. The package took like 2 weeks to arrive which isn’t too long. I am really happy with the way it is package. For some people, package makes a difference. They are boxed in various sized, semi-transparent packaging Read the rest of this entry →
Okay. great news, a friend of mine have just collected my bushes from the dealer. It’s been freshly shipped from the UK. I’ve waited long and hard for them to arrive. Will be meeting him later to collect them from him.. Pics later…
