Hi Group

I am looking to get hold of a M3 Evo braided clutch hose, am pi$$ed off with the biting point being so low and am trying to

I have done some google searches and am drawing a big blank on a supplier.

Anyone had one fitted/got one? Any thoughts on who could supply?

Thanks in advance.

You got one then? Any piccies?

My Evo clutch is the same - bites on the floor! Unless the clutch is BURIED into the carpet "CLUNK" goes the box

Looks like something you could make yourself for about Ł15

Hi James,

Can I adjust the clutch somehow myself? Like changing the oil / bleeding it or whatever?

Hi Si and James

(Si, i finally brought my evo, hope yours is still going ok?)

I heard that BM sold an upgrade version of this pipe (thanks for pic), any aftermarket suppliers?

Is that a pesky CDV i can see attached to your slave?

Thanks Tony, I'll have one

Still going fine! Damn rollover hoops pop up on every other hooligan sideways moment - did it at the recent "Drift" day we did at Weston Zoyland!

Piccies of your car dude!!! And whats the spec?

Not my car, mine was replaced before I got it at a charge of Ł95 according to S/H!

Cheap as chips! If I knew the thread sizes, I could make one up no probs....

Should have a bleed nipple somewhere in the system Si

As Rich says, get the end fittings off and get them to someone who could knock one up in 15 minutes

I have heard its a bm upgrade part for the evo at Ł60+.

This was why i was hoping that someone knew of an aftermarket firm that didnt make huge percentage profit on it.

Have you tried Ben at Chromeline for one?

Jim Galbally

ben does not sell them for an EVO. only the non-EVO

BMW sell the part for the EVO. just go to your dealers

silverfox999

Looks like a trip to the dealers then...

I thought you were going for an E36 Steve?

Surely you're not going rip the seats out of a shiny E46???? What are your plans now you've got it?

Get some pics up both of you (Silver / Steven RW)!!!!!

Si

Steven_RW

Sounds good!!! My E36 deffo needs bigger brakes - they seem to fade easily and struggle just on a couple of hard stops on the road!

Will we see this beast at the Ring then? Be good to see how you get on!

Si

EIL132

Be interesting to meet up and compare The old bucket hasn't moved since last year and is out of MOT and Tax It's moving soon for replacement. Glad you got one, sounds nice and have fun at the ring

Steven_RW

Euan - my car has no tax and I am waiting for the insurance cert to arrive so i can tax it. If its here in time I will pop through

Sib - yeah, i think the brakes are the initial weakness! Sure thing I will try and get the M3 to the ring in easter


EIL - of course - as soon as the cars are road legal it would be good to meet up! I dont think there will be anything in it performance wise - few extra kilos to go with the few extra bhp!

My turn to hand u the keys aswell

Cheers everyone

RW

Ollie.

Steven nice car mate!

Can you not get someone with a traders policy to tax it for you?

silverfox999

I need to replace the front brakes on my evo ready for its trip to the ring in Apr.

Any suggestions as i dont want Si's brae fade to occur to mine once i get a bit spirited with it.

i cant seem to find any decent sites with info on?

(Si, photos to follow soonest, promise)

EIL132

No need for the keys, just pay for lunch again Would be good to meet up though

Steven_RW

Ollie - cheers - I dont tend to drive the car during the week anyway - I washed 350 miles of drive home grime off it tonight in the dark then put it back in the garage

It will be out soon enough!!

Cheers

If not, 4 pot 7 or 8 series calipers, decent disks, fluid and pads for the cheaper option

P.S. don't listen to half the muppets on e36coupe, buy DS2500 pads

Ollie.

No probs mate! If you need it done gimme a shout.

Hope you enjoy it!

Steven_RW

Thanks Ollie - thats mucho appreciated

Will see u up falkirk in it one night soon

Eil - as for lunch - nae bother - just got to remember to not leave a tip thats more than the cost of a meal for 3 lol!

cheers!!

I brought the part from BM in the end



It seems to have a made a bit of a difference. I am not grating gears like i used to.

It has probably lifted the pedal by about 1" off the floor, oh, and chaging the fluid did help as well!

Anyone else struggling with their pedal wont go far wrong by changing the pipe.

EIL132

Good man, remember though if it's a new clutch it's still a very low bite. Still occassionally stall mine after driving the run around for a while

silverfox999

Thanks James.

I will bear in mind. Apparently the clutch was only just fitted a few weeks ago.

Brakes are all done now, clutch works (sort off!), Koni's on order.....strueth who said owning cars would be cheap!
