Cheap way to get solid mounts

Can't have been like that too long as I'd think it would eventually cause the subfame to crack.

Sounds like the electrics are pretty sorted (assuming the C191 is ok - check that the joints there aren't corroded / have bad contacts), you can check the O2 sensor by unplugging it, the car should run...

With all that replaced, check the C191 connector under the inlet manifold - you might find the terminals are corroded.

I also think it's a shame they're on the way out. We'll keep the e92 for a long time yet & probably buy an electric for the second car. I nearly bought a W204 C250 coupe when I bought the e92 - I...

Cool - yes, that's what I've always said to the doubters over the years. If you drive with some mechanical sympathy, the G240 works well with the M30 - mine's now run for more than 8 years. The most fun...

Nice to know & good effort on getting your engine up and running - your 351Nm is 258 ft lbs so it's under the 290 ft lbs I posted as the breaking point of the G240. It should last a while at those...

Hello

That's many questions! You might have more luck with responses in the 24V section.

I can't answer most of them, but just on the engine mounts - I ran poly transmission...

Nice work Jon. 11 second quarters on street tyres is pretty awesome

What are the drag rules like in the US? If you dip below a 10.0 in Australia, you have to fit a roll cage or you're...
