Jacksonville, FL E30 fam?

[walktheboard]

My e will be back together soon.. hopefully.
I either need a new diff, or a new driveshaft(again)
Anyone have any input? The driveshaft has about ~10k miles on it, I just rebuilt the CV axles and replaced the tranny mounts(these were in half, maybe caused the driveshaft to go bad again? the u-joints feel fine when it's off the car. New fluid is in the diff

forgot to include the symptoms lol..
the problem is a vibration under load, mostly above 2k rpms. really bad vibration and you can feel it coming from the rear or towards the rear of the car.

e30 u-joints aren't serviceable so yes they were replaced with the driveshaft
also diff mount looks solid no cracks.
no noises other than what the vibration causes

I should be able to go Nov 1.

If you're going through driveshafts is it your Ujoints? If so something is binding or stressing them. Diff mount severely worn or installing the driveshaft with tension in the joints could do it. Are you having any noises?


I'm down for St.Aug but my wife's due the 11th so i dont know what'll happen if she goes early or later so I won't have an idea until closer to that time. An A1A cruises would be perfect

[bowtie2bimmer]

Know if I'll be able to go that far. Depends on a few things

I figured the drive would be nice along the beach road. Up for other suggestions!

What is the problem you're having?

Does Nov 1 work for everyone?

Would everyone be willing to cruise down a1a to st Augustine to do a group lunch?

[mlbryant8]

I should make it also! Nov. 1, correct. Just set the time.

My thought was a meetup, then cruise some backroads to place to eat.

Nothing is as badass as a parade of e30s

What you guys think town center mall ? Plenty of parking space and plenty of places for a bite to eat?
I can scout few other places...also.
