    Got a 2.79LSD from GunMetalGrey. Now doing research on ZF swaps now with a focus on which driveshaft to use. Any input from y'all would be great.

    Ordered a twin disk UUC clutch over the shopping weekend. Had a special deal going on. Got a t-shirt, clutch stop, Evo-3 shifter, braided slave cylinder line for free plus $100 off the order.

    Gearing up to make this a reliable freeway ride. Taking it cross country this summer.

                Nice progress.

                Let me know if you ever stumble on another LSD. I will eventually need one once my 4.10 goes out.

                      Is this supposed to be a solid trans mount deal? I have a couple uhmw condor mounts attached to a crossmember sitting in my old swap car. But they are damn 1" thick uhmw with a clearance hole lol. A whole 3$ worth of material.

                        They are stock e21 with a jacket surrounding the rubber I guess.

                        I have the condor trans mounts now. I like them for driving around town and short beat runs but I'm planning on doing a cross country trip with my fiancée this summer and buzzing all the way to Cali isn't too appealing.

                            I see I see. Very understandable. What are you thinking for motor mounts? 

                            Whats the most stiff/least vibration? At least what the most soft mount thats okay with an FI system?

                              I was going to keep the Condor engine mounts and run a stock-ish trans mount like I had before. It felt solid.

                                      Got a trans, driveshaft and shifter linkage off a 98 M3 for $240 from Don's.

                                      Just need an e30 trans mount/brace thing!! Anyone have one collecting dust with one?
