Flex disc... anyone rocking a beefier one?

[Erick]

I recall Mike Edler speaking of running an E39 M5 flex disc on his S14 motor.

I was wondering if anyone is running something different for the M20. Mine just started going on me... I'll probably just buy another OEM one, but if there's something better, then I'll jump on that instead.

That sounds like a good idea, especially with all the extra shock/force going through your driveline.

If you have access to the parts, why not just compare the the E30 guibo to the E39 M5 unit?

[Belteshazzar]

E30's had two sizes. I accidentally ordered the small one once. The difference was comical. If yours is the small one too it might be worth looking into.

I believe it isnt. Last time I ordered one, I had found out days later (while it was still being shipped) that TJ had just destoyed the same exact one after 3 weeks worth of use. I installed in on mine anyways and got about 3 months, with no abuse (back before I even drifted).

Now that this one has gone as well, I'm looking into some sort of an upgrade. My main concern is using something that will end up getting in the way of my Z4 3.0 SSK or that will disintegrate like the one mentioned above.

let me know what you find. i want a beefier one for me s50...

Get one made on cnc heh

[Erick]

I've thought about it... I have access to a CNC machine... I'm just wondering whether it'd actually be worth it.

[dmoney(AB)]

i've given this some thought and was thinking that having the rubber quibo in there would actually be alot smarter than having a cnc'd piece because if there is no rubber to tear/break, then something else will break. how much does a quibo go for anyways?

[Erick]

Ranges.... starting at the high 20s to 40s.... for the e30 ones.

Then we can't call it that cute "guibo" name anymore. We'll have to call it the "balls out disc".

Look into the ones from e36 M3's. Im rocking one in my car. Ill have to measure the bolt pattern and compare it to my e30 driveshaft. Its like twice as beefy as the stock one was.

[Erick]

All Ms rock the same flex disc. ;)

[So Live]

Right on! well then. its way more bad ass than the one that came out with the m20 driveline.

Jason from C3 motorsports is rocking an M5 guibo on his beefy-ass M20 stroker. I suppose that confirms it? You should PM him (Slyder).

[Erick]

Yeah, I'm convinced it'd be a nice driveline upgrade.

I'm basically calling it a year with my drifting season.... stop spending on tires so much and just invest in preparing the car for next year.
