Waiting on jags that run to send me a u joint then waiting on them to ship it from California and then they can start on my driveshaft. I'm thinking 2 weeks ? Then I have to take it to an exhaust shop

I'd be curious how much your driveshaft costs. Mine was probably the single most expensive part of my build. I paid right at $400 from a local shop and that includes the adapter from JTR.

Ujoint comes from jags that run tomorrow. So I'm guessing they'll start Monday on it and it'll be done Wednesday?

I usually just buy my custom driveshafts from Strange Engineering. $275 or so for a 3" chromoly shaft with 1350 u-joints. On lower hp stuff that needs more clearance, I just buy them from Coleman racing. 2.5" steel shaft with 1310 u joints for $180. Jegs sells them and they are available in .5" increments.

That doesnt include the slip yoke, but you should have that first anyway to get the proper driveshaft length.

i just took it to the shop and told them to do it.

If anyone knows or has a set of the one piece square headlights for the e30 please let me know.

438.14+111 for u joint


It's so close to hitting the top. It looks like I'll have to replace all the bushings and raise the subframe up a bit..... Idk


Going to exhaust shop either tmrw or Thursday... It's a tight fit. Don't worry the lines won't stay kinked like that. Just put it there so it'd be easier for the exhaust guy




Also thanks to Texas speed they swapped the tune to my new pcm and bought my old pcm.

If you just get the subframe bushings with the 12mm riser built in you should be good.

[Reyhan335]

I think I'm going to get all new bushings for the rear including that... I've never done bushings tho..

Pretty simple but really time consuming

For someone who's never done it , how long would you think it'd take.

Schedule the whole day just to make sure you aren't rushing.

shit, it's hard to get a full day to work on it when i'm pushing 80 hrs a week at work:/ it'll have to be nights

[jpod999]

Just spread it out then. Take your time dropping the subframe, it's not really that hard but can be a bit unwieldy.

just when i thought i had a couple steps left, i jump back 7 more.

but it's okay. it has to be done anyways..
