Lady in red CC00268 help tread.

Some updates mostly pictures , but they show some progress.
All pipes done , the High Pressure line for the AHK was an interesting one to bend as it had 34 bends , luckily I sourced an expert for this one
trunk done and most of the car in the rear end is now in good shape , still have the Engine , Interior and front end to do but worst is now soon done.
Rear axle done and under the car , just to lower the car in place now

Amazing work
How about I leave my car at your place for the winter?

Haha when finished here I am probably sick and tired of cars, and Suspect this project will last for another year before finished.
Then I assume the Black one will need some TLC

Rear Axle torque spec. where to be found??

Rear Axle torque spec. where to be found??

looking at the manual it refers to See Specifications and like this Tightening torque 33 32 2AZ* ( refer to technical Data ) or 33 33 3AZ or 33 52 1AZ
Would assume this is to be found somwhere??

Rear axle is back up bolted to the car , time to torque it all back

Any help links much appreciated

Terje

Ok, quick test to see if this works

Thanks to all replying on mail and private messages

It turns out that Steve Kozma have made an excellent description for this , much better then the manual in fact.
and together we have translated it to English as well today.

find attached a great document for anyone doing this in the future.

So today the last bolt's where torqued with load on the suspension
Thanks to all feedback , much appreciated

some picture updates

Rear axle in place and car lowered down on the trolley , was a bit skeptic that I could do this controlled without killing the trolley

Time to torque with load on suspencion

Added some extra load to make up for empty tank

Terje - that is looking great. Question - did you purchase new hoses for the AHK?

Bought two new ones and got two good ones of the parts car that had two good ones that must have been replaced earlier , new ones comes with better corrosion prevention and are painted black , I also painted the two used ones black after glassblasting the small corrosion they already had.

I also sourced the Oilcooler for the Diff and those hoses of the parts car , also looking like new and had been replaced just before car was crashed.

But I hope someone soon figure out hove to produce them at a better price.

Looks already better than new this Car
So right, what about the Yellow Projekt as next ....

Haha well you almost had my buy one recently , but yes when done and if a yellow suddenly turns up you never know
Still I expect this project to take a year more before finish as there is a lot to do in the front suspension , engine , interior.

And then I also have the black one being neglected at the moment so time will show , it might be more than enough keeping two alive.

Soooo

What do you guys think about red Throwing stars .
Anyone having more pix of a Red CSi with red Throwing stars?? , I am thinking about it.

Quote from steve;123540

Looks cool!
(Although on the Picture it looks as if BMW have mounted the Stars on the wrong side... :))

I have an Oxford green 840 with the Styling 21 wheels and I painted the stars also in body color.
In my Opinion it looks really nice, especially that I have polished rims. When the sun shines, there is a lot of "bling"...

Cheers,
Steve

Any pix to share
