DrLeadFoot Posted December 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2014 Got a 2.79LSD from GunMetalGrey. Now doing research on ZF swaps now with a focus on which driveshaft to use. Any input from y'all would be great. Ordered a twin disk UUC clutch over the shopping weekend. Had a special deal going on. Got a t-shirt, clutch stop, Evo-3 shifter, braided slave cylinder line for free plus $100 off the order. Gearing up to make this a reliable freeway ride. Taking it cross country this summer. rampelsauce 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A whole 3$ worth of material. They are stock e21 with a jacket surrounding the rubber I guess. I have the condor trans mounts now. I like them for driving around town and short beat runs but I'm planning on doing a cross country trip with my fiancée this summer and buzzing all the way to Cali isn't too appealing.

Very understandable. What are you thinking for motor mounts? Whats the most stiff/least vibration? At least what the most soft mount thats okay with an FI system?

I was going to keep the Condor engine mounts and run a stock-ish trans mount like I had before. It felt solid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
