I believe one of the major contributors to diff failure is overheating and since the M3 is designed to withstand track conditions and thus higher then normal fluid temps they have added a finned cover for cooling and to promote the life duration of the diff.

But you know with the new 1M exhaust system i guess you will need to do the diff as well, all that extra power |

I don't believe the M3 diff will actually bolt up without the M3 subframe? someone who's had hands on experience with it would know better though |

ah fair enough
how come the lockdown kit is so different for the M3 vs non-M? simply differences in the points on the subframe? awesome, notbad then for those that get it cheaply + just want a good LSD! still, not convincing me not to just get the whole subframe/rear axle setup for barely any extra cost! haha.. PITA to find a 3.15 though, there's a ton with 3.85. i'm not rich enough to afford a new set of tires a week though haha also just a hassle having to get the driveshaft all sorted for me >_< having a look at the pics on the previous page, it looks AWESOME.

Is still happening, will start updating again soon, will have a lot of stuff to post. Subframe+lsd seems like a sensible path for supporting mods to me haha |

so because the seller i was trying to get the subframe off didn't help organize freight at all... well it took more than 14 days to get a single company to give me a quote finally (coming today) but the seller cancelled the item on me in the meantime...
i would absolutely LOVE to grab http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...m=380672509780 but have zero idea whatsoever on how to get it back here efficiently (ie organize freight in <1week...) (and i'm fully aware there's a solid chance someone here will snap it up first ) any suggestions? companies? etc.? |

would someone be able to explain this shipping quote?
> View post on imgur.com all the random percentages... that UK NES 17.5%... is that a 17.5% tax on teh actual value of the item itself? (roughly $1000 AUD) wtf is a fuel surcharge? it's 15% of WHAT? i was quoted $1100ish for air freight and it's looking like that much OR MORE... for sea freight?! ED: 17.5% appears to be the OLD VAT rate (now 20%) but doesn't apply to exports :/ so if i'm reading it right.. $106+x (15% of?) to get it on the boat... $120 in actual shipping costs... $588 in local costs (+fuel?? 12.5% something)... $814, yeesh!.. though adding another pallet, keeping it under 1 cube.. would at zero extra cost :/ Last edited by flinchy; 07-29-2013 at 09:05 PM.. |
