New set has arrived! Front shaft uppgrade *Finland-Fix*

[Nisse Järnet]

I still think the ix can be as competitive as any other E30. Almost all of the RWD E30 owners I knew were all talk anyway, there would be maybe 1 that would actually show up to an event.

and if it's raining, well, the gloves are off, the RWD E30 doesn't hold up!

What camber are you running up front?

[nando]

it was between -2.5 and -3.1, more camber helped a lot. with stockish settings, the outsides of the tires would overheat and the insides would be cold.

Ok thanks!

The problem with rwd e30 is the rear trailing arms. There is no much traction compared to for example volvo ridig rear axle with 4-link system.

Well I just like nando's setup. Love to drive oversteer car.

That kind of setup where front wheel is off the ground is more likely to understeer 95% of the time. The picture that I posted has a setup that will oversteer.

In ix that will understeer until you are exiting corner under full throttle - car basicly becomes rwd, because all the front power will escape. Car will be rapidly switching from understeer to huge oversteer. The kind of behaviour that you really don't want to have.

That is not a problem unless you have enough power to spin the rear wheels. Stock ix might not encounter this problem at all.

Nando's new setup looks great in the pics !

I like ix just because, there is that front drive to help little

I agree totally. That's exactly what happens. Combined with the semi-trailing arms, snap oversteer will bite you. I learned quite quickly you just need to keep your right foot planted. :p

it's been so long, but I actually felt that dialing all the understeer out would be a bad idea. I got it to be pretty neutral, but because the front wheels are driven there will always be some, it's just part of being AWD. Instead of focusing on making the car act like a RWD, I just drove it like it was an AWD.

I haven't been out much with the new suspension. actually, the current version I only drove for a few months before I parked the E30 for a while. Even my kids are asking me when we can drive the E30 again, lol. When they are 15 we'll do car control and autox in it. :D

Jute,

I tired looking for these on ebay and I can't find them anymore. I must be blind. Do you still have any for sale? I'd love to get one from you.

Thanks

Jute91 I also was waiting for them to pop back up on eBay. I will pm you for total costs and shipping info. Assuming PayPal is okay?

Are you going to continue to sell them after you sell these three?

[jute91]

nah, I need to figure out how to make more of them. Atm I cant make them since I dont own cnc by myself.

These are the really last ones. and if the boogle2 makes the payment, I have only 1 left after it. He wanted 2 ;)

[jute91]

Thank you all for buying this uppgrade. Give me feedback how they have been working.
I might be doing more pieces someday when I solve the machinery problem. Need to purchace 4 axis mill for the splines ;)

[nando]

damn I'm glad I got one while I had the chance! I haven't used it yet but I will. :)
