    I hate solid bushings... Thats how you break stuff, and rattle your brains out. If it presents a problem the way it is, maybe I will go poly or something...

    I am assuming you guys are running solid bushings on all mounts as that down pipe is huge and damn close to alot stuff that does not move. Or am I over analyzing?

    Finished the d.p. tonight after work. The rest of the exhaust will be easy, then on to the Charge pipes!



    You want ground clearance??? You got it!

    As you can see it tucks nicely!

    Yea, so my wastegate has no chance... I am going to have to mount it remotely or run it out the wheel well...

    Working on my driveline. So I have the early model e30 large guibo shaft and I had some troubles...

    I fit the two pieces together, and the splines did not go well together. I then tapped them together and they didnt want to come apart... So I took it to the driveline shop, because I was going to have them balance it anyways, and the guy said that he couldnt seperate the shafts... So then I took the shaft back after he heated it up cherry red hot..

    After 15 mins at my shop I had the shafts apart... I then filed the splines for a couple hours and now it fits like a glove!

    Long story short... The driveline experts... Arent so expert. Cant trust anyone but yourself.

    So now I gotta get it balanced, and bolted in. Then the driveline will be DONE!

    Besides that, I didn't say we had the same motor, just I planned to use the same turbo parts on my build. :P
