        As in you have a 2.93 LSD?

        I have also read that you can put an extra LSD clutch in the stock diff?

          Yes. for more lockup. you don't NEED a 2.93, but it would be a little nicer. Would be a good winter project though! And it will help the squirly-ness on straight line beans giving. The clutch packs, not the ratio. 

          but seriously throw the getrag out. no need when zf's are better and cheaper.

              Zf would be worth the couple extra pounds.

              Yes, I do have another 2.93.

                When we are talking about making 600+ftlb I don't think the extra 20 lbs over nearly the center of the vehicle will matter lol. Getrag is a lost cause at that point anyway. And they shift so much nicer.

                  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.

                    manual e36 m3 with the 4 bolt in the rear. 

                    Corrected because I spread wrong information( I HATE THAT)

                              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.

                                      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?
