[@ImJoel]

i can't wait to upload a video of just me driving my setup just for the sound. this car sounds amazing

[@BlakesGarage]

I'm amazed you didn't rip those old mounts in half they were so pancaked. Cool to see a new video from you. I need to get to editing all of my S52 Swap footage.

[@derkm]

Haha yeah the old bushings were definitely tired. But thank you man! Get to editing it and don't be like me; this footage was from like March 😂

Hey brother I'm in process of getting my garagistic solid mount shifter and I'm very excited about it, I've constantly been looking at various videos like yours, garagistic videos and others... thanks 😊 for posting great content for the viewers so they could learn I'm from TORONTO CANADA 🇨🇦 HUGE SHOUT OUT TO YOU BROTHER, people like you influence many 2 DIY and not go through a mechanic, respect e30 community brother 👍.

[@derkm]

Thank you so much brother!! Really really appreciate it and it means alot to hear this 🙏 I'm actually working at Garagistic full time shooting videos and photos for them so keep checking out their content and I'll also be uploading on my channel again! Enjoy your solid mount shifter and ty again 🤘🤘

[@1PDee]

What did you do for the reverse lights?

[@derkm]

I drilled a hole next to the shifter so the wire could pass through. Also added a grommet so it wouldnt cut into the wiring 👍👍

[@1PDee]

@@derkm Thanks!

[@excite8075]

Oof those turbo noises

[@nasserkhaja1879]

@derkm has your getrag held up fine with your turbo setup? I'm piecing together a swap, expecting 260whp and cant decide whether or not to just upgrade to a ZF. Though the ZF would handle the power then there are the issues with money shifting, sloppy shifter, etc 🤷‍♂️

[@derkm]

I've had my current getrag 260 in the car for the past 2 years I believe but this is my 3rd one 😅 not sure if I was just unlucky but the first two g260s didn't last too long. As long as you get one in decent condition, it should handle 260whp no problem but a zf would be nice. Not sure what you'd need to run the zf on an m20 but im sure its doable

[@bullethelldemon]

is the oem height too difficult to shift for a daily? been debating between it and a full shifter rebuild with poly+delrin bushings, dssr, and z3 short shifter. i really want the solid shifter but i'm worried it might get annoying in my daily. what's your take on that?

[@derkm]

Good question! The oem height, in my configuration, is a little too difficult to shift sometimes but I think it can be a bit easier by adjusting the bottom part of the shifter that connects to the dssr although I havent tried it yet. The z3 shifter with the Garagistic shifter rebuild & poly/delrin bushings and dssr was perfect for daily use; but it's all preference! I like that the solid mount shifter is customizable and I'm currently running the medium height handle and I'm loving it.

[@bullethelldemon]

@@derkm hmm yeah i wonder what it's like with the most lenient setting for that bottom part then.. for some reason i still doubt it'll be enough to make it truly comfortable, but i think you told me exactly what i needed to be able to decide. the solid mount is cool and glamorous buti think i'm gonna go with the rebuilt z3 setup, thanks!

[@MichaelFitzpatrickk]

Has the NVH gone down a bit since you installed these? I hear it gets better with time as the poly gets a bit softer.

[@derkm]

I've since switched to the Garagistic supreme shifter as of a year ago but the NVH did go down a bit after running the poly bushings for a bit! To be fair, they weren't too bad imo when I initially installed them either.

[@itsBlack]

Nice vid. New sub!

[@HD.Motorsports]

Is the oem size shaft comfortable enough to daily a car. Im looking to get the chassis mount shifter for my e28 when i do the manual swap but i want it to look oem. So is it comfortable to use daily or is it to stiff and tiring to use daily?

[@ej4851]

H D I was questioning myself about the same thing. So I went with a medium, I didn’t want mine too notchy for my daily.

Thank you man! I use a Sony A7RII 👍

Sorry about that! Just added a link in the description to the shifter.

What side skirts do you have on your e30?

[@mistythelion]

hi @derkm do you need you change your rear carrier assembly when installing the chassis mount shifter? Or is it cool running the stock assembly? haha

[@derkm]

It eliminates the need to run a rear carrier assembly completely! All you'd need to refresh the whole shifter assembly with the chassis mount shifter would be the selector rod joint and a DSSR. Remember to run poly motor and engine mounts as well

[@mistythelion]

@@derkm Ohh okay sweet! Going to put everything together this weekend! thank you and im looking forward to your next vid!

[@derkm]

@@mistythelion awesome! And sorry for being MIA with the new videos but I promise I have a ton of content just waiting to be edited. Go subscribe to the Garagistic KZbin channel though if you wanna see the videos I've been working on lately 😁

[@carsinruin6102]

So what’s it like running those mounts?

[@derkm]

They're great! Didn't add as much vibration as I thought it would. Car feels a bit more solid and responsive with these poly motor mounts and matching poly trans mounts.

[@timvanderipe9296]

What are those side skirts ?

[@derkm]

Unfortunately im not sure :/ came with the car when i bought it as a shell and they have no branding on them. Im looking to get them scanned and remade. If you're interested in purchasing one of those when i get them made, shoot me a dm @derkm

[@ooeyadoo5630]

What diffusor is this I like it a lot

[@derkm]

It's a custom dtm fiberwerks diffuser they made for one of their old shop cars. Unfortunately, it's the only one I know of that they made but I think they make a similar one that's on their website!

[@worangejuice]

What Sideskirts are these??????

[@derkm]

Unfortunately, not sure what they are 😔 Came with the car when I purchased it as a shell. They are fiberglass and have no markings on them regarding brand.

[@Cle_M3]

Hey what diffuser is that if you don’t mind me asking?

[@derkm]

It's a one-off DTM Fiberwerks rear diffuser they made for an old shop car they had. If you google "eurostop E30", its the same one on that red/black E30 👍
