Starting my M54B30 swap...

they've only been around a couple months. I don't think anybody really knows.

interesting product, but not for me..

Flex discs on driveshafts flex for a reason. To save your driveshaft. There is a reason even modified vettes still run rubber flex discs.

I'd rather replace a $40 guibo than pay $350+ to have my driveshaft rebuilt because my semi-solid flex disc destroyed the u joints.

Link to this happening to others? I've searched a bit already.

Besides, its 130 bucks. Finding the right driveshaft and doing it correctly can't be much more expensive.

How exactly is this "incorrect?" Or do you even know?

well it's not a circle is it?

It's symmetrical around the center, what exactly is the problem here?

Because its an oval.

Man that flex disc seems sketchy to me. Imagining that spinning at driveshaft speed is unsettling.

Why? Aluminum flywheels do it all the time...

Granted, sometimes they explode :rofl:

325iX brake booster is on its way as well. Got it for $130 shipped.

Now my question is, will the brake reservoir/master cylinder from the eta bolt to the 325iX booster or will I need to source that as well? I'm sure I'll find out when it gets here but it's nice to be prepared.

I've finally got money to buy some stuff towards this... Need to buy new motor mounts, trans mounts and brake booster.

Is this the correct booster? It's for an 89 325ix.

Hm its $192 on Rock Auto...and $126 on PartsGeek.
