Brian said you came in to Keeler Parts today. So did Joe Hasan. 1. As usual, you’re a cheap bastard. 2. I just broke my Reds with TMEs at Mid-Ohio. They arent made to last forever, they’re still a wear item like the OEMs, just stiffer to keep the trans from moving during cornering. 3. They definitely arent made in house. UUC is a small Jersey based parts designer, they dont have a production facility on hand, they send the CAD drawings out to a manufacturer. ---

> [@votblindub](#): > > Benny, were u doing a lot of clutch dumps or is that just something that happens to a lot of bmw’s with age? Well, it’s an aftermarket part, UUC offers three options for tranny mounts: Neoprene (street), Polyurethane (street/track), and Polyurethane bolt-through (hardcore rattle your teeth at idle track car)…I think I should have went with poly for my purposes… and yes I suppose i have given my drivetrain a bit of a beating, but now that I’ve spent literally days under the car I can say my driving habits are going to be changing :nono And yeah, the car, mechanically is finished with everything I intended on doing this year, but I found another big problem while I was under the car…my front differential bushing is shot, cracked right around the circumference…time to go solid mounts w/bigger/harder front diff bolt :banana…so nobody should be expecting any action other than shuttling my ass to work and back and shift/bimmerforums meets from the fender striped wonder, at least until that surplus check is in my bank ---

i can’t speak for track duty, but with my driving style, my reds w/ enforcers have been fine. they were cheap enough anyway. i would have definitely went with them in the first place. excessive lash in the driveshaft because of the broken diff nose bushing, or even just a preload issue could have caused the quick fail. did those bushings come on the car when you got it? or are those the ones from the boston grun? ---

I had the reds w/ enforcers for prob 3 years. The just exploded 2 weeks ago at Mid-Ohio. So yeah, they hold up pretty well but nothings permanent. ---
