    You could hear that something was vibrating before the driveshaft blew, which should have been a sign that something was wrong. 
     

    the problem is the sound was drown out by the drivers own thoughts *how cool do i look...i look so cool...my v6 is so fast...i look so cool...*

        80A or 95A for e30 poly bushings. Goal is daily driver with occasional weekend autocrossing hoonage. Madison has decent enough roads too.

          do you think you'll really gain any time with poly bushings for occasional autocross hoonage? rubber, motherflubber (or the softest poly possible)

            I went with the hardest poly because I knew Dan would post to go with the softest poly in the future

              H&R Race, Bilstein Sport, and 80 durometer bushings here. Performance is great, comfort is fine. I'm happy

                The M3 has metal-metal engine mounts. Has me a little nervous considering how much I plan on driving it.

                    Applied for a position in sales at our company acouple weeks ago and was immediately told I wasnt eligible because I didn't meet the BA degree requirement.  Kept after the hiring manager - and discussed my background.  He agreed to an "exploratory interview" yesterday afternoon with a group from Sales.

                    By 10am this morning they had a new position created and posted with HR (less the BA requirement) and I had an email from HR stated they needed me to apply right away.  By noon my manager had an email from HR saying Sales will be making me an offer shortly.

                    Not a bad hump day.

                      Congrats dude. I've heard that for the right candidate, corporate will often drop the degree requirements. Happened to both my aunt and my mom, neither with a college degree.

                        Not for gaining times but ease of install and lifetime warranty. I've driven a E46 M3 with solid trans mounts and that would be absurd for daily duties but everybody claims 80A is oem equivalent basically. If 95A isn't that much more harsh and they cost the same that's why I ask.

                        Congrats Colin on the new gig!

                          Ease of install is worth it for poly

                          Also congrats Collin

                              I'm going to have to turn down the offer from Sales.

                                  The only question will be how is this sold in the U.S.?  I can't imagine Renault will open dealers for one car.  They already partner with Nissan so is this going to be rebadged?

                                    This. I can't imagine that Alfa Romeo will even do well enough to keep their dealers open for more than 2 years. I don't see why any dealer group pay millions to open a new store that will sell 2 models, one of which being a relatively expensive limited production sports car.

                                      I hate FB groups.

                                      "Should I twin-turbo my E30?"..... You can't/won't because you're a broke ass kid and likely have a clapped out POS.

                                      "I'm gonna make purists shit their pants with my 5.0 swapped e30!1!1!".... No one - especially "purists" gave two shits about your 4 door piece of shit to start with.... With or without the 5.0 swap.

                                      Damnit I'm bitter today...

                                          "Should I twin-turbo my E30?"..... You can't/won't because you're a broke ass kid and likely have a clapped out POS.

                                          "I'm gonna make purists shit their pants with my 5.0 swapped e30!1!1!".... No one - especially "purists" gave two shits about your 4 door piece of shit to start with.... With or without the 5.0 swap.

                                          Damnit I'm bitter today...  

                                          That thread made my head hurt.
