    Limping around with bad guibo

    My guibos pretty well shredded but still holding together, am i okay driving it around town (under 30mph) for the next few days until i can replace it? Im not worried about being stranded as i have towing on my insurance, moreso about damage to the e30.

    Don't do it. If the guibo lets go the drive shaft flopping around will do a lot of damage.

    The car makes it possible, but the driver makes it happen.

          I drove around with my slamming against the driveshaft during acceleration for like 2 weeks. But still my advice is obviously to just take care of it, its not hard.

            what happens when you drive around over 30mph?

              Higher speeds it actually sometimes is better, I've driven on one till rags everywhere but it still moved around and did freeway speeds.

              Feel is horrid, definitely not good for it, on the m3 it chewed up the entire center section heat shield, broke center bearing off it's mounts, left those bolted in n

                Does the whole car vibrate?
