Unless you only plan on going in a straight line, your stock open diff will offer better handling than a welded diff. |  |  | | 07-28-2010, 06:41 AM | #17 | | Member Join Date: May 2010 Location: Norwich, England Posts: 36 |

If you'd like, I can take measurements of the diameter and length of my halfshafts tomorrow morning. | | | | | 08-18-2010, 05:45 AM | #20 | | Senior Member Join Date: May 2006 Location: 43609 Posts: 3,425 |
Hey jess, make a note sweetie pie  1995 - Frame has to be notched for the diff cover bolt 1996 - Frame has to be notched for the diff cover bolt 1997 - Frame does NOT need to be notched or the diff cover bolt 1998 - Frame -------- Oops, havent put it in yet. So far, ive noticed, the 96 is the only year ive had that wouldnt eat a ti cv from being lowered. The 97 ate two, others 95s have eaten them. 96, id say, is the golden year for a lot of the "good" parts of the ti. No secondary air system, OBDII, EWS2, recessed kidneys, frame setup in rear is good, there are a few other things ive noted in other threads, especially on bfc, but dont remember them off hand. 95 was an amazing year because you can swap ANY engine in there and be legal. __________________ 1995 Hellrot Clubsport 318ti -Gone 1996 Schwartz II Sport 357ti - 5.7L V8 LS1/6 1997 Moregrun Metallic 318ti - Gone

... recessed kidneys | Crap! Is this a very involved process? Does this significantly weaken the frame? I thought most people liked to newer kidneys? Personally, I prefer the recessed kidneys, too. I just thought I was weird! Cooljess, it would be great if you could get me those measurements! | | | | | 08-18-2010, 12:26 PM | #22 | | Senior Member Join Date: May 2006 Location: 43609 Posts: 3,425 |
I took an sir chisel to mine and notched where the bolt needed to sit. It's and insignificant mod to structural integrity. __________________ 1995 Hellrot Clubsport 318ti -Gone 1996 Schwartz II Sport 357ti - 5.7L V8 LS1/6 1997 Moregrun Metallic 318ti - Gone

Another correction: All E30 half-shafts are identical, doesn't matter if it came from a 4-cylinder or 6-cylinder. They're both the short-length thick-diameter half-shafts that are desirable for 318ti medium case diff swaps.
In the case of the 4-cylinder E30s with small case diffs, the output flanges stick out farther by whatever the difference in width is vs. the medium case E30 diff. | | | | | 08-19-2010, 02:23 AM | #24 | | NOBODY F's with the Jesus Join Date: Oct 2006 Location: Ventura California Posts: 7,824 |

Everything with my swap went well .... with one exception. I had mine professionally installed. They fabricated the shims as above. Now, every once in awhile, when I'm coming to a stop there is a vibration in the pedal. It only seems to happen when slowly pulling into a parking spot and coming to an easy stop. I suspect this has something to do with ABS. Any ideas? | | | | | 09-12-2010, 02:37 AM | #27 | | NOBODY F's with the Jesus Join Date: Oct 2006 Location: Ventura California Posts: 7,824 |
