Nah you don't have to. I could fit my big ass pliers in the tunnel, clamp it and push it around to loosen then do the rest by hand. You probably don't even have to bother doing it, if you have the center bearing out, put the diff in and when it comes time to put the driveshaft in, it should pull the 5mm of driveshaft out as you tighten the bolts. Because TBH when I swapped from small case to medium case I didn't adjust my driveshaft at all and i swapped between those diffs a couple times too and not once changed the length.

Yeah they slide together, But that locking collar bolt squashes a bush in it as you tighten it and it stops the 2 halves just sliding out. Yours both should have a locking collar.

Yeah but the locking collar holds the 2 halves together, Makes it near impossible to just slide it off.. I use a big set of pliers.

Lol. MILK FTW

I don't think he is advertising it as a Cosworth anyway, He clearly stated the model number and states he had the engine put in.

how much is that gonna cost you to have done though man? Hit up Gavin, he quoted me $290 odd for one shipped from Germany, just a month or so wait for it..

That is WAY to huge..

Was gonna say the same thing, This reminds me of Emily's first thread lol. Another e39 to be saved ? Time will tell..

Good work with the sump lol. I did mine the same way you did and the gasket moved and it pissed out oil on one side.. Oh well.

Pretty sure you don't need to adjust prop shaft length, If you do, all you have to do is drop the driveshaft hanger bearing, loosen the locking collar and it has abit of lee-way for adjusting the length, just sus it out after you have the diff in, slot the driveshaft bolts into the diff input and tighten the bolts then tighten the locking collar up last.

Wow, Your engine bay is incredibly tidy. What a mint example of an m3. Kudos to you.

A mate got crashed into by an old lady while driving his mazda gtr hatch, completely smashed the front in from the side. He had no insurance, but got paid out $4000 from the old ladys insurance company and got to keep his car too.. So he sold his mags and stuff on top of that and made quite alot out of it, car wasn't even worth $4000 either..

Damn 16+, Might see you guys there next year..

Dang, Sounds like alot of car for that asking price. Esp if the clain about the billy's was true. IS lip, 325i manual.. Tidy looking exterior.. Someone must have got score.

Greg go to Premier auto, The guy there (forgot his name now), is a very reputable LVV certifier. If you did an initial LVV inspection with him for a cert, he can add changes (such as new height, wheels etc) for only $150. Anyway, under 100mm your steering angles are completely out. Depending on the certifier, you may have trouble managing to get it certed that low if they pick up on things like that.. That huge increase in steering angle means it adds alot of bump steer..

Sorry, More specifically 95mm the lowest structural point.. Which yeah is those bracket bits for the Control arm bushes.

Jamex Superlows. About 95mm front chassis, rear was legal however. Good amount of wheel tuck. Very much undriveable though, guard rub on most driveways needed to 'crab' hardout. Exhaust scrape on speed bumps ettc.

TBH I didn't even know about their new album, just heard about their new video the other day. Definitley have to get it though..

Ahh I heard about that uncensored version. That would have been a fun video to make.

Whitechapel is MEAN. For some reason I like the whole screaming thing, Some of it is unbareable but it's pretty sick.
