I took the guibo, trans mounts and motor mounts to a friends shop. Got Zippy on a lift and dove in. I wasn't able to get to the motor mounts...time just wouldn't permit us to get to them. I wanted to say thank you once again...I'm honored to have such friends.

Easy as could be. Even had a smoke break in there too. So, about 50-55 minutes to be accurate. Thanks E __________________ Sean 1995 Active | | | 07-22-2012, 02:46 AM | #67 | aka Stabby Join Date: Nov 2004 Location: Mead, CO Posts: 5,336 | Hmmm. I had my exhaust off when I did my guibo and it was still a pain. I have a manual trans though so had to keep switching between under the car and in the car (changing between neutral and in-gear to twist the driveshaft for better access to the bolts and to lock it back in place). Glad yours was easier Feel any better in actual driving? __________________ 1996 318ti, California package, 267k miles current mods: bilstein sports, bavauto springs, e30 m3 LCABs, solid metal ball joints, bavauto RSMs w/reinforcements, e30 3.73 LSD & halfshafts, supersprint cat-back exhaust, turner rear sway bar reinforcements, IE poly subframe & RTABs + camber/toe kits, powdercoated e36 32x front calipers, sport mirrors, H&R 28mmF/19mmR sway bars, x-brace, auto solutions SSK w/poly bushing upgrade, BMW CD43 head unit, DICE HD Radio w/iPod integration and "stealth" HD antenna, staggered style 68s, orange electronic TPMS, leather arm rest, JT Designs metal undertray acquired and awaiting install: heated seat kit, cali top switch relo, lumbar support kit, park distance control kit, heated washer nozzle kit, m-coupe rear subframe, trailing arms, differential, and halfshafts, m-coupe front/rear brakes with master cylinder, under hood light kit, mud flaps, rear sun blind, auto-dimming rear view mirror, tilt steering wheel retrofit, apexcone 5000K HIDs with 55W ballasts 2002 X5 4.4 Sport Package, 53.5k miles Current Mods: e46 m3 steering wheel | | | 07-22-2012, 04:49 AM | #68 | Senior Member Join Date: Jul 2007 Location: SW Florida Posts: 4,275 | It is very smooth now. I should have done it sooner. We put my car in neutral and let the drive-line spin. We removed the entire exhaust, heat shield, and X-brace. I've got to do my motor mounts...want to help out sometime? __________________ Sean 1995 Active | | | 07-22-2012, 05:32 AM | #69 | Senior Member Join Date: Sep 2011 Location: Broomfield,Colorado Posts: 664 | Stupid question but what is the Guibo and were is it located and how do I know it has failed Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk 2 | | | 07-22-2012, 06:39 AM | #70 | Senior Member Join Date: Feb 2012 Location: Sacramento, CA Posts: 2,451 | Quote: Originally Posted by black98 Stupid question but what is the Guibo and were is it located and how do I know it has failed Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk 2 | Guibo (Flex coupling) Rubber/metal cabling (Inside the rubber). It's the end piece with the bolts and studs. On the end of the driveshaft. It connects to the output flange of the transmission. After time they may crack and fail. Noisy and loss of transmitted power from the tranny to the diff. I just happen to have my 97 apart for a motor swap. __________________ 1998 318ti Sport - "Cali" Schwartz II/Schwartz sport interior, Cali top 1998 318ti Sport - "Max" Schwartz II/Schwartz sport interior, S52 1997 318ti Sport - "Tiny" Schwartz II/Schwartz sport interior 1995 318ti Active - "Blanca" Alpineweib III/Schwartz leather interior Other Current Bimmers: 2006 530i / 2000 2.3L Z3 / 1997 1.9L Z3 / 1999 540it 1997 318ti Sport - "Huera" - RIP 1995 318ti Active - RIP 1995 318ti Sport - "Tiny" Sold 1994 325i Sedan - "Jade" - Sold 1991 318ic - "Bert" - Sold 1985 635csi sold 1984 533i "Max" Sold 1984 318i sold BMWCCA #160411 SUPPORT 318ti.org!

I've got to do my motor mounts...want to help out sometime? | X-brace? I thought you didn't have one? Yeah, I should have all the needed ratchet extensions and such for getting to the motor mounts bolts/nuts since I've done it before on mine. We'll likely need to get it up in the air a bit to be able to get a jack with a piece of wood under the oil pan. __________________ 1996 318ti, California package, 267k miles current mods: bilstein sports, bavauto springs, e30 m3 LCABs, solid metal ball joints, bavauto RSMs w/reinforcements, e30 3.73 LSD & halfshafts, supersprint cat-back exhaust, turner rear sway bar reinforcements, IE poly subframe & RTABs + camber/toe kits, powdercoated e36 32x front calipers, sport mirrors, H&R 28mmF/19mmR sway bars, x-brace, auto solutions SSK w/poly bushing upgrade, BMW CD43 head unit, DICE HD Radio w/iPod integration and "stealth" HD antenna, staggered style 68s, orange electronic TPMS, leather arm rest, JT Designs metal undertray acquired and awaiting install: heated seat kit, cali top switch relo, lumbar support kit, park distance control kit, heated washer nozzle kit, m-coupe rear subframe, trailing arms, differential, and halfshafts, m-coupe front/rear brakes with master cylinder, under hood light kit, mud flaps, rear sun blind, auto-dimming rear view mirror, tilt steering wheel retrofit, apexcone 5000K HIDs with 55W ballasts 2002 X5 4.4 Sport Package, 53.5k miles Current Mods: e46 m3 steering wheel | | | 07-22-2012, 07:02 PM | #73 | Senior Member Join Date: Jul 2007 Location: SW Florida Posts: 4,275 | Right on. I need to get up there and do it soon. How does next Sunday look for you? __________________ Sean 1995 Active | | | 07-22-2012, 07:21 PM | #74 | aka Stabby Join Date: Nov 2004 Location: Mead, CO Posts: 5,336 | Believe it should be good. Check back with me towards the end of the week. Maybe we could do the belts and tensioners on the X5 too. I'll need to get the bushing pressed into the new brackets before I'm ready to do the front suspension work on the ti. I'll want to get that all done in one weekend so the wife can still drive it to work (gets much better gas mileage than the X5). Have you ordered any parts for refreshing what you need to on your front suspension yet? Just trying to think ahead to when we may be able to bang those out on both our ti's. __________________ 1996 318ti, California package, 267k miles current mods: bilstein sports, bavauto springs, e30 m3 LCABs, solid metal ball joints, bavauto RSMs w/reinforcements, e30 3.73 LSD & halfshafts, supersprint cat-back exhaust, turner rear sway bar reinforcements, IE poly subframe & RTABs + camber/toe kits, powdercoated e36 32x front calipers, sport mirrors, H&R 28mmF/19mmR sway bars, x-brace, auto solutions SSK w/poly bushing upgrade, BMW CD43 head unit, DICE HD Radio w/iPod integration and "stealth" HD antenna, staggered style 68s, orange electronic TPMS, leather arm rest, JT Designs metal undertray acquired and awaiting install: heated seat kit, cali top switch relo, lumbar support kit, park distance control kit, heated washer nozzle kit, m-coupe rear subframe, trailing arms, differential, and halfshafts, m-coupe front/rear brakes with master cylinder, under hood light kit, mud flaps, rear sun blind, auto-dimming rear view mirror, tilt steering wheel retrofit, apexcone 5000K HIDs with 55W ballasts 2002 X5 4.4 Sport Package, 53.5k miles Current Mods: e46 m3 steering wheel | | | 07-22-2012, 09:55 PM | #75 | Senior Member Join Date: Jul 2007 Location: SW Florida Posts: 4,275 | No, I haven't ordered any front suspension parts yet. I need to save up a few more dollars first. I need to start saving my scratch for a down payment on our new house in Florida. so, this might be my last purchase before doing that. __________________ Sean 1995 Active | | | | | Currently Active Users Viewing This Thread: 1 (0 members and 1 guests) | | Posting Rules | You may not post new threads You may not post replies You may not post attachments You may not edit your posts HTML code is Off | | | |
