don't need to worry about the mounting and prop I've already stated
it's going to have a different prop and if I'm going larger case the rear has to be re done anyway
I'm not exactly going to leave it with a single mounting point with up 600plus ft/lbs now am I winkeye

I'd be interested to hear how you've built an E30 that'll put 300lb/ft down without spinning up! It sounds like a lot more than the usual springs n shocks route :)

it's only on adjustable coil overs poly bushed etc ask any one that's been in it they will tell ya it doesn't lose traction what so ever :)

I'm sure someone on here has drawings for an adapter plate to mount the twin-eared E36 backplate to a normal E30 medium case diff. That might be of use.

not worried the fabbing that will be easy but it's ok I've bought a e28 m5 large case diff LSD aswell for 120 quid can't be bad and they have the same bolt up patten as the medium case all I need to do now is to get a rear cover from a e39 m5 which are twin eared and I believe it might bolt

if you knew what I had planned you'd understand why I'm talking about braking things lol
