No problem. If you want one done for your sedan let me know. I can do any color/material

Jesus, after the next upgrades this is gonna be a whole new beast

If you don't have one already get an ATI damper especially with a light flywheel.

Will do. I just hate the fact that it takes three to make.

Coupe, and what did you use, plywood?

Plywood for the bottom part (a certain type of wood to retain the weight loss) and styrofoam for the top part.

Nice I just put in the Bimmer world and rogue tranny mounts great combo not a lot of vibration and deff noticeable .. Your going to love the cams man they are awesome. I think your out doing me with that clutch though

Yea they seem to be the best mounts for a street driven car. Everyone who has them, love them. I kept debating on whether to get those or the AKG ones, but I think poly would be too harsh, especially since I already have the poly subframe bushings. I can't remember, did you install the cams yourself? If so, how hard was it?

I might have the clutch but you still have the damper!

i have vorschlag poly motor and trans mounts with powerflex poly subframe mounts its not that bad
little bit of rattle every once and a while to go along with the lightweight flywheel

why not go with the 4 bolt oil pump
its just future proofing yourself/car

I want to, but I might have to hold off for a few months. Gotta save up some money first. I should be fine with the safety wire until then.

Yeah the mm are pretty sweat.. Cams I did everything myself except for the exhaust timing which was way over my head and the tools aren't common. Had a german auto place do it.. I think some company has the tools for cheap though now like German solutions or something

It's a lot better to fix the cause of the oil pump problem (harmonics) than try to band-aid a solution (safety wire, welding, etc the OPN).

I fully understand what's going on with the oil pump nut I just don't feel the need at the moment even with my mods as well to do p.m. On it ..maybe a good thread of someone's engine blowing because of it ill do it

Waiting to be installed:
Vanos Seals
Vanos Anti-Rattle Kit
Vanos Gasket
Valve Cover Gasket
Bimmerworld Group N Motor Mounts
Rogue Transmission Mounts
Meyle RTAB's
Fuel Filter
Steering Coupler
AKG Derlin Clutch & Brake Pedal Bushings
AKG Subframe Bushings
Meyle Diff Bushings
Maximum PSI Subframe reinforcement

As for the Oil Pump Nut, I was thinking of getting Greg Smith's 4 Bolt solution...but I don't know if it's worth it now since it's only a street car. Might just do Bimmerworld's safety wired OPN for now.

Beautiful! Decided against the 272's? Plan on DIYing the bushings & mounts?

engine mounts take less than 20 minuets lol so do tranny

Good to know...guess I was more curious about the diff mount bushings and subframe...bit more of a PITA no?

Lol if my diff bushing fails again I'm selling the car before I do that job again.. Epic epic pita.. Get the oem tool or trying to get it out will eat you alive. I've never touched my subframe or bushings though and I don't Plan on it really

I said fuck it and started it yesterday..not bad at all..so far. I removed the Vanos, installed the new seals and rattle repair kit. Now just waiting on the GAS cam tools to come in

Absolutely. I'm going to try and get the 4 bolt ordered later this week.

Yes. I don't see the reason for them now since I won't be touching the head or block. The motor and tranny mounts yes, the subframe and diff (including the LSD) no. Maximum PSI will be doing the work for me. It's not a matter of difficulty, but more so that I don't have a lift at home. I'm certainly not attempting it on jack stands lol.

Stav, do you still have the templates for the rear seat delete. im planning on doing this soon.

subframe bushing are a bit of a bitch to do
i took out the whole rear end and burnt/pressed out the old ones and installed new powerflex subframe bushings as well as M3 rtab's + limiters +alignment in 10.5 hours with a lift

first time doing it
i didnt think that was to bad
