PERFORMANCE ICE SLIDES ON PERFORMANCE HOCKEY PUCKS!!!

There's a new line of tires from Michelin for that.

What adhesive did you use to reglue your pillar trim fabric?

I used (and believe others have as well) 3M Super 77. Picked it up at Wally World.

Yep. Perhaps install zip ties as PM on new lift.
Get some new butyl tape to reinstall the rain/moisture barrier.

I think I'll do that. Got some butyl tape as well. I think I'll be ready on Saturday.

Didn't say your driveshaft center bearing failed? If that's the case that could of affected the centering bearing. A worn out guibo or center bearing could cause excessive wear on the centering bearing. It would suck if you had a new vibration after getting everything back together...

Well I plan on replacing the entire center bearing assembly (including the bearing), the driveshaft flex disc (giubo) so does that cover everything?

And we’ll while I’m down there, I’ve never addressed the transmission and motor mounts. I’ve heard of people going for the M3 transmission mounts, should I go M3 or UUC poly Black mounts instead? The car just gets daily driven, never seen a track and I can’t say I plan on it for now

M3 rubber. I added poly and removed them a week later. So much NVH I couldn’t handle it, and I’m already more tolerant to NVH than most.

I had UUC black rubber trans mounts but just discovered after 8 years that they are fluid filled after finding pancake syrup like fluid on the garage floor. Will be switching to M3

why is it I see more non M people complain about NVH than M cars owners?

i read both groups and forums and I cant recall the last time I saw someone in an M3 group say they cant stand the NVH from some mounts... but go into the non M groups and its more common to see that complaint.

Because those mounts are designed to work in the M cars and not the non-M ones. lol

theres no difference between non M chassis and M chassis in regards to the mounts other than the rubber used. the engines albeit different in non M.. all use the same alloys in their subframes, mount arms, cross members, nuts bolts unibody.....

i dont see any reason for a non M owner to care more about NVH over an M owner other than a perception thing where they have purchased a NON M and expect non M noise and vibrations...

which is fine but when you track your car that seems a little odd to me lol.
