              Probably more rotational weight.

                Mine won't chirp in 1st 2nd or 3rd.

                Maybe it has something to do with the Kumho 225/50-15 V710 race tires?

                Nahhh

                      what do most 84 318is rear diff ratio come with? i was on teh freeway doing 85 and im at 4000 rpms, felt like i needed a 6th gear, and i can barely get the wheels spinning in first but i got new tires and their pretty soft.

                        Infamouscrew02 3.91 should only help, maybe your car needs a tune up?

                        e30trooper, mine came with 3.64.
