    Shitty video--but it's a video

    I just got the camera about a week ago and wanted to take some short video clips, this video is lousy, as much as I tried to keep the lens on the speedo/tach, I couldn't do it, so you get to see my steering wheel and feet quite a bit, lol.

    Anyways, I'm at the top of a carousel ramp, doing a u-turn, accelerating through 2nd-3rd, then the sweeper, then a quick dash of 4th at the end.

    Cheers,
    Stu

    BTW, 3.0 M/S50 in case anyone is wondering.



    edit: I don't recommend speeding to ANYONE, but I love to haul ass down on-ramps.

              :) Cool vid. Good sounding car. Clutch stop and pedals would rock since we got to see what you do with your feet.

                        Clutch stop is no-go because it engages close to the floor.

                        edit: there is a good ramp on my way back from campus, I'll try to get a better clip tomorrow.

                          Are you running the S50 tranny? If so put the 325 slave in, unless you want to try to get the S50 master in...

                            Ryan, it's an E30 M20 O.D. transmission, E30 slave, M3 race plate/sport disk

                            edit: BTW, wasn't it only S52/OBD-2 cars that got the choked slave cylinder?

                              No its not reagarding the clutch delay. The M3 system was a higher capacity so the E30 MC was undersized for the E36 m3 master. I know you can put the M3 master in the E36 but I doubt I would try it in the E30. The E36 guys love to put the M3 master in with the 325 slave resulting in a heavy fast clutch.

                              Also it seems second gear slip is a fact of life in an E30 S50. I really want a better diff. Your car sounds good but subdued, what exhaust are you running?
