'91 318is, 16V swap.

Here is the "proper" flange u-joint to use made by JTR. It uses a dana 1310 series joint and has the proper pilot diameter.

I found this for Stuart. Way cheaper. Even though the diameter the pilot diameter for the part of the flange that goes into the diff is 1mm smaller so there is "essentially" play(just theoretically speaking, but not really) in the shaft, it has worked fine for Stuart. As long as you use the proper bolts to connect the DS to the diff, that should be fine and align it. Plus, I dont think 1mm(essentially 0.5mm all around on the diameter) would cause any driveline vibrations or issues. Yet again, Stu's trans is essentially hard-mounted at the moment.

Thank you Thank you! I was already kind of pissed I have to buy a 31 spline yoke for the front, I hadn't even thought about the issue with the rear!

Any further updates on this? I just read through 63 pages of this thread, I like what you've done. I've been adding parts to my collection so I can get started on my swap this summer.

Sorry bud, but hopefully some of that reading helped you!





Got some updates!

My old carb was complete crap and the floats were starting to fail on me, it had no choke, etc etc. So I got a new 650cfm Holley double pumper with manual choke and threw it on.












Then I did an oil change and drove up to, around, and back from Ocean City MD. About 700 miles total.
My skid plate has seen better days.















Took some pics while I was up there.













Then I drove 400 Miles up to school in Pittsburgh.

Hunted down a crew of Prius drivers









Finally made it, then cleaned her up(~1500 worth of salt and road grime can take it's toll) and made a run to Wally world for some extra oil.











Finally wired the backlights for my crappy, external gauges up.








And today I wired my Hellas back up and bought some new "off-road extreme" fog lights.










Then a weak attempt at silly things.

I get txts from people across campus telling me to be quiet hahahah. It's a fun experience, working on your car in your school parking lot. I think everyone needs to experience it in their lifetime haha.
