What are signs that the driveshaft is going bad? I have already replaced my CSB & guibo but still have an occasional vibration around 80mph

Clunking when taking off or coming to a stop slowly.

eh the vibration could be something else, i just notice it even more because my car has 75D motor mounts ( these are going soon too i think) but when its gets bad it will start to clunk whenever you let off the clutch suddenly

ok, I thought so. I think I just start with the simple rebalance of the rear wheels...

[pandaboo911]

I thought my driveshaft was bad but it turned out one of the balancing weights on it was rubbing against the gas tank saddle very slightly after I swapped out my subframe bushings.

If your motor mounts aren't stock you're gonna have a bad time.

AKG 24v swap motor mounts and E21 trans mounts with aluminum cups here ... :)

The only other weird issue my car has is when Im reversing, the car doesnt seem to happy to coast backwards haha

Has anyone seen people driving with these pretzel ropes?
I saw two cars with these and was wondering what it was.

Thought it was some crappy car club at first.

People are paying $125 for a crappy jdm rope. wtf.
funny stuff. That's some gay pride shit right there.

This is whats going on

Sounds like one of the rocker arm clip things slipped. Pop the valve cover and make sure all the rocker arms are in the correct position (to the cam)

Matt how is John and his family? Does he still have that shop on San Fernando rd? Last time I saw him was when my dad was looking at the green m3 a few years back.

He's good as far as I know. I don't keep in touch with him. Shit went down.

Anyone have any leads on smoked smileys?

[thebutcher37]

Need some advice, it looks like my alternator took a dump, how do I get another one? Does r3v have a consensus for buying New Rebuilt, straight junkyard? My car is a 91 318is. Should I shoot for 80 or 90 amp?
anyone have one for sale locally? Suggestions appreciated as I'm at work and can't do much until I'm home.

What part died? I think you can replace the brushes and rectifier yourself.
