Hi,

I'm a long time (passive follower) of e30zone from Belgium. I recently started a Youtube channel called "the Broject list". It is automotive themed. I already made some video's about my E30.

One video is a How To on changing brake pads, brake shoes and wear indicator on a BMW 316i - 318i - 320i.

The other video is how I restored my 168mm differential and how I converted it from open diff to progressive limited slip diff.

Hopefully it is useful to you, let me know what you think or what other videos would be useful.

Vincent

I'd be curious to hear your thoughts on the LSD conversion and how it compares with a normal LSD?

How much would someone who knows what they’re doing charge to fit one of those little blocks in a diff??
I’ve literally no idea about diffs, backlash etc....

But LSD are overpriced and scarce

If you are paying someone then you would be better off paying them to fit a real LSD

That’s understandable but how much is a real lsd?

A used LSD spool is around £500, if you need a couple of clutch plates another £80ish but this will last and take abuse for a long time
