    Mmm da cow. I tried the RP synchromax in my g250 it didn't seem right. Everything worked but when I switched to recline half gear oil and half atf that is recommended by UUC with a light flywheel it felt much better.

        Got the driveshaft out in about .3 seconds (kind of surprised) and ripped the CSB off of it and made notes with sharpie so i dont forget the orientation for when the new one shows up (nothing was "wrong" with it, but $40 is cheap insurance)

        Also just ordered adjustable front end links not from ireland engineering

          I Have also yet to find a place locally that sells Red Line fluids --off to the internet for those as well.

          Called a bunch of shops to see who can weld my coils. I just got a bunch of confused responses on the phone

          "You want to do what with your who, who is this? What are you suspensions doing with a welder?"

                    Only thing left to show up are the coils

                    88cace11c51719fee7e660b98343810d.jpg

                    Pads/lines/CSB/diff plugs showed up today

                    As well as this gem front Blunttech

                    bd172b3ef2377c0aaab1205f36dd31b5.jpg

                    Also I lied, I have ate brake fluid&redline MTL showing up soon too. I was trolling craigslist in my area for shits and giggles and came across an ad for 2qts of redline 75w-90 and 2 gallons of BMW coolant. Guy wanted $50 for everything so I bought those as well-extra coolant isn't a bad thing to have on hand

                              Remember, if you preload the csb more than once its considered playing with your driveshaft

                                    Tricked myself into working on my car for 5 minutes

                                    Got the DS back together with a new CSB. (Old one was installed incorrectly) -don't believe the Internet about installing the CSB "backwards" they are offset and put an angle on the DS at the CSB. I took a bunch of pics for the next thread I see about installing these backwards when using a 24v swap DS.

                                    a234929982649272d262faecd8a393cc.jpg

                                    Also drained the old diff fluid

                                    4480105aca9352f162816b52172097d3.jpg

                                    Went to put new drain plugs in. And I don't have an Allen wrench in size massive. So I need to go pick up a new wrench tomorrow so I can tighten it and put the redline 75w-90 in

                                      Put a bolt in it and a nut on the bolt, then use a socket to tighten it

                                          To be fair, earls idea is pretty slick and the next time there is a worldwide macho allen shortage I will try to remember it
