Drive shaft whining!?

This is info from a seller.

turning a320 into 325

Whats needed mechanically??

If its a post 6/87 model the 320 has rear discs, right!?

So I guess just a engine and gbox diff??

Any other suspension/bits needed (only a 40 kg diff between the two I'm told)

Cheers.

I think if you apply a constant current you might melt/fubar the electrics. Read this somewhere on a porsche 924/944 forum and they use bosch injectors. There is a place that will clean, test spay pattern and put a new seal kit on for around £11.75 per injector. I'll put a link up when I get home.
