I'm curious how do you understand that vibration is coming from driveshaft? I have vibration of the body at about 60 mph / 100 kph. The tires all balanced, rear one brand new Michelin. Rims are good, no bends. I'm fighting with this issue for about three months already.

Try to see if its speed dependent only or also rpm/driveline dependent as well. Try pushing in the clutch or coasting in neutral and see if the vibration is still there or not. You want to isolate if its just wheels, or if its engine/transmission/driveshaft/differential etc. Change one thing at a time to see if anything changes then go from there. Hope that helps!

There's me getting annoyed when I got the measuring tape and fixing 11' .. 9' would bring tears. But yes.. we must make do. I'm currently slowly modifying my garage into my own set up. I have experience with these lifts. I really really want a 2 post. But with full height. My walls are 8' but most of all 2 post are 9' 4" .. so without mods I'd only get in a scissor lift. My intention is to install and with them being 50+ cm flat height.. I'm going to run concrete runs in line with the ramp. Then bolt down studs, lay insulation and ply/flooring on top. Then if planned correctly no cold feet etc, the ramp comes up out of the smooth floor. Less trip hazards etc. but yes, these things are game changers. The main reason I don't want a scissor is the likes of rear axle work. Lack of access for removal etc. but front end is fine. 2 post just means nothing is impossible.

all good points and I agree - eventually I plan on cutting into the concrete and laying this down flush with the ground. Still, better than crawling around and using a pump jack and 15 minutes to raise/lower the car each time! Good luck with your project, cheers

Respect to the high miler M3 on the track!😎Glad it survived and you had fun! Your 300k kms (186k miles) is way more than mine at 85k miles! Re traction control, did you turn it completely off? Or got to MDM mode? (I haven't tried even the latter yet, still quite new to track days, but I plan to use MDM next year). I track mine too, re your 3 points though for track use, I only really agree with point 3. I find even with Ferrodo 2500s I have to limit track time to 20 mins (and actually, that was with a wet track day, so I might have to lower that for a dry warm day!). Suspension and weight seem fine for the track (except the latter contributing to the brakes issues of course!).

Looks like for me that the track suits the Golf R more than the M3. On a track like the Nürburgring the M3 is the faster car, but you are right the e9x need a lot of mods when you use her on the track.

Hello. Great video (thanks). I have a question about this life (unable to get a reply from the vendor). Before making a big purchase like this, I need to ask: What type of hydraulic cylinders are used on this lift? They will inevitably go bad (they always do). I would like to know pre-purchase what type they are and their general availability. I would like to know ID, OD, capacity and stroke length. Thank you.

Exceptional good video, thanks a lot! I plan to do this in a couple of days, the idea of cranking the engine dry with a pulled fuel pump relay is astounding, very good. The new tensioner came retracted - do i install it if it's extended or retracted? My M60 is installed in a E30, quite a Frankenstein car. :)

Did you have a colored weighted fastener from the driveshaft going into rear differential? I was debating going with OEM or 'Driveshaft' Parts, but I have a weighted green fastener and wasnt sure if that mattered.

@@DeadEndRestorations thank you for replying, i think you would just have to reuse the OEM fasteners since i think the driveshaft is paired to the differential. I did the repair last week; while I put the fasteners in the same orientation, i did not put the driveshaft in the same exact spot to the rear diff and experienced vibration after 70mph. Probably should have tackled the CV Joint as well. the video is helpful! I appreciate it

@DeadEndRestorations
@DeadEndRestorations 2 ай бұрын
They are definitely noisier than all seasons and definitely on the firm side. However, they warm up fairly quickly for performance tires and when they slide they are very progressive. Doing a track day in early october so that will be the real test!
