merging into traffic usually means easing into the binders, slowing it down to traffic speed. these cars are definately fun. jason

Merging is a lot of fun! Folks will try to race you when you're just squeezing into the throttle. The speed builds quickly though, so it's hard to stay out of trouble.

I guess it's my turn to be felonious.

Full interior, Stereo, A/C, 3.73/260, S50. I'm guessing 2850+lbs. Oh, and baby seat (child was NOT a participant).

Rev,
What trans/diff are you using? Geared real short. Topped out in 3rd about 72 (indicated) mph. Shoot, mine'll do 90+@7K in third. Fast tho, climbs the revs much faster than mine..

aeryk7,
You filmed downhill in a hurricane didn't cha? ;) Kiddin', yours is deffinately fast. I tried to sync mine vid to yours and your E30 LTW is definately faster...Goes to show what approx. 400lbs difference makes.

This thread is great! I bet youve convinced a lot of people to do this swap. You got me. And I was ALL about stroking my m20.

[Kilomph]

M20s worthless unless you're gunna turbo, even then a m50nv turbo would shit on it.


More more! Any S52E30s? Blunt said he had some videos a while back, but he never came through.

I'm using the s50 trans with the e30 m3 4.10 lsd. This is temporary until I can find a resonably priced 3.46 lsd. It's not very practical, but it is certainly fun.:mrgreen: Power-slides through 1st and 2nd are pretty easy.

I've got some of my car at the Glen, but the files are huge!!! If I could figure out a way to crop them, I'd post one.
