    we have delrin bushings in the back of the lemons car. you can feel cracks in the racing surface on track with your ass hair. there is no discernible performance difference to when we had OE rubber bushings.

    sure, poly stuff is way stiffer than 20 year old OE rubber bushings, but they are wear items, so like oliver says, new OE stuff is totally fine and I would not hesitate doing endurance races on new OE bushings. I have some on order for my white car.
    Sweet I guess OE is the best option for my application. Thanks bud

            I used the royal 75w90 for my 3.73 lsd. Seems to be holding up nicely and I'm not getting any weird noises. It was pricy, but I'm sure less than the redline stuff.

                Wow. So brass valve guide must have failed for that to happen. Are you going to dive into the s38 yourself?

                  I don't think the guide failed. It still runs ok, makes 175psi compression on that cylinder, but the rest of them are at 220-225. The valve was super tight so the seat is probably failing.

                  I'm aiming to do it myself but not for a while.. need to get e30 back together.

                      Anyone have a late model left tail light for sale? Someone decided it would be a good idea to break mine while parking.

                          Thinking about getting a Canon 6D... First off should I go with this one or something lie the 7D Mark ii? and second should I just go with the kit lens for starters or something else?

                              Insurance company called a few days ago saying they finally accepted liability. They should be calling today with their first offer.

                              Currently have my eye on this

                                Steven, the Canon 5Ds and 5D mk4 are coming out at the end of summer. that will drop the resale of my camera the 5D mk3 down even more. i would wait and get it used on CL for sub 2k.
