It's practically stock volume level now. Kind of annoying really |
|
- I feel like I'm disconnected from what the car is doing. If I |
|
have the radio at any listening level, it drowns out the exhaust |
|
completely. |
|
I'm heading out to Grand Rapids tomorrow night, should be in |
|
town by thurs morn, gonna go look for places to work and a small |
|
apartment but I doubt my actual move will be until spring. I |
|
gotta get my E30 in proper running order before I come out for |
|
good. |

That's the main reason why I picked this weekend to come out. |

Finally got the car to an event this weekend. I need moar power |
|

Nice man. I bet you don't need a ton more power for now but if |
|
you lose those heavy ass steelies from the back and/or step the |
|
diff up you'll be in a little better shape. |

I love my steelies! But seriously, I do. They're part of my |
|
design. Yeah I know "unsprung weight" blah blah blah, "3x the |
|
effect" yada yada... it's just a price I'm willing to pay to |
|
walk up to a car I'm satisfied looking at. But interesting you |
|
bring up my dif. I actually love welded difs for drifting. So |
|
predictable. Definitely sucks for daily driving but I've never |
|
felt that it holds me back when I'm sideways. If anything it |
|
feels like the opposite. When I get my good dif in my E30 I'll |
|
find out if I'm wrong. |

I am by no means saying lose the steelies (I'm a big fan of |
|
large steroids) for daily driving but a set of cheap aluminum |
|
wheels on the rear would benefit you for drifting. Also I bring |
|
up the diff not because of welded vs lsd but what ratio are you |
|
running? My guess is if its the one that came in the car it is |
|
like 3.23 or so. If you went up to like a 3.91 less power is |
|
required to break the wheels loose. |

Oh I'm running 3.46's for gears. Yea, it came with 3.23's but it |
|
was one of the first things I swapped out. But honestly, I'm |
|
thinking it was a bad idea. 1st gear is almost non-existant so I |
|
never use it and 3rd gear is almost pointless except for |
|
accelerating to highway speed really quick. For daily driving I |
|
only use 2nd, 4th and 5th and the highway is ridiculous - |
|
3,500RPM to do 72mph - I definitely need an OD gear so a 6-speed |
|
is in the plans but that will just mean 5th gear will be |
|
completely pointless. At least I can use 1st for hard launches |
|
and 3rd for that run onto the highway but what am I ever gonna |
|
need 5th for? If I ever turbo this thing, I'm prolly gonna put |
|
the 3.23's back in. |
