Nice with the swap too! Good work! |
Yeah, I'm very happy with how the 15s turned out. Thanks!

Both were used with unknown original miles, so both were a crap shoot as far as how long they would last and neither cost me much at all...
I am now rebuilding a 3.46 LSD from an e28 to be (I hope) the last diff I install...
I also just finished my 2nd swap project, a stock S50 into the twin ti, and kept the Getrag. I used the UUC 11.5 lb flywheel/e34 M5 clutch combo on this setup, and it is still attached to the small case 3.45 LSD that came on the car originally, which will need to be upgraded soon as well... |
Interesting that the torsen developed a clunk, I hadn't really read about any issues with those. Too bad because the 3.46 torsen came on some Z3s.
Nice, I really want to find a 3.46 clutch type to rebuild. Based on running the smaller 15" tire, 3.46 would put me where I want in terms of top end on some of the longer tracks. That being said, the 3.73 with the M52 is pretty fun to drive, we'll see where it tops out on the straights.
Feeling the difference with just the M52, I can only imagine the S50/52 swaps are pretty awesome. I wouldn't mind doing S52 cams/M50 manifold at some point...
