You could also use the stock e30 cabrio rear mounts which are beefed up over the coupe/sedan e30. P/N #33-52-1-132-104.

Engine + Driveline / Cooling System Problem
« on: September 18, 2008, 12:25:12 PM »
Shortly after leaving this morning for work, I noticed the temp guage begin to rise past its normal position (just a tick past half way). Using the heater to draw some of the heat helped drop the temp a little and for a little bit but the temp started increasing again.
I turned it around and parked it at home. I noticed that the upper radiator hose from the radiator to the thermostat housing was hot but the return hose from the thermostat housing to the lower right side of the radiator was cool. The engine fan is turning but i guess the internals to the water pump could be shot.
From my understanding, the return hose will stay cool until the thermostat opens and allows the coolant to flow back to the radiator and therefore dagnose this as a thermostat failure. I was in a suit and had to get to work so that is the extent of my trouble shooting.
My plan is to first replace the thermostat so on that point, what are the pros/cons of using the 88 degree or 92 degree thermostat? I think 88 deg is stock no?
Cheers...Stephen

Engine + Driveline / Correct Bosch # for For 19# Injectors?
« on: May 19, 2008, 11:36:36 AM »
The FIVEOMOTORSPOR.COM site shows the 19# mustang injectors as Bosch #0-280-155-710 and #0-280-155-700. The picture for the #700 injector does not look like the stock injector (0-280-150-714 for the M42/M30) though. While i haven't found a definitive picture of the #710 Mustang injector, from the bellow link it looks closer to stock than the #700. It is also not clear from the below link if the #710 is four hole or one hole? I say closer to stock because of the clip that slides into the groove of the injector and around the fuel rail port to assist with holding it in place.
It appears the benefit of the #700 injector may be that is has four holes (vice a one-hole pintle for stock or a one-hole disc-type for the #710) but you may need a washer at the manifold end in order to help hold the injector in place because the clip can't be used?
