Chapter GMW | E30 LS1 (starting on post #1427)

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.

Ordered a bunch of stuff yesteday to get the trans maintenance up to date. 5th and reverse gear drivers (?), output shaft seal, shifter linkage seal, foam selector link thing, a set of drift tools.
Here goes nothing!

Any idea how much this was and where you got it from? I'm about to go down the same road.

What are you looking for? I started a thread about the zf trans with a bunch of links.

I love this build.
Can't wait to get mine running and check out your tail lights.
Thanks!
Waiting on you!! Let's run 'em.

My old timeline was wait until spring then start the build again, but I've actually been making good progress in the cold. New goal is to have everything buttoned up by spring and get it on the road as soon as the salt is gone.
I've been spending too much time parting the E39, but once its gone I will be able to work on the E30 much more efficiently with the extra room.
Thanks!
Waiting on you!! Let's run 'em.

Also what are you putting down?
Last time I dyno'd it it was 442whp at 13psi.
I'm now at 18psi with a slipping clutch... I just want to break the 500whp mark.
I also have to pop in a new t3 turbo gasket. Mine currently is venting to atmosphere.

Got around to doing a little work on the car while in my basement.
Popped of the foamy thing.
It was all oil mush.
Gently pry a bit.
Off she comes!
New vs. Old
Oiled up the gasket, took a 15mm socket and tapped it home.
After cleaning up the tar-ish residue on the rod popped on the new foamy thing on with the dowel held in by the snap ring.
Waiting for more small parts from pelican. They're getting a call tomorrow...

Meanwhile while still waiting for parts from pelican this happened.
