325IS v 325IC what are the differences.

[E30 Cabrio]

There should be a metal tag on your differential.

Wipe the grime off of it and post the letters and numbers on the metal tag.

Should be something like: "S3.73" followed by 4 digits.

If it has an "S" listed before the ratio as in the above example, it is a Limited Slip Differential.

I think the OP wanted to know what the differences are when it comes to things like a map light mirror, suspension, OBC, etc...

You hear the wind more in a vert.

Wheels, bumpers, hood, lights, drivetrain. Nearly everything else is vert specific.

I don't think that's been scientifically proven. I drive a vert and stick to the one thank you.

Dirty snatch ya mean?

Old isn't necessarily dirty.

what does this post mean?

[iwantspeed]

what does this post mean?

if you would have read the post it would make sense.

basically the convertible has extra reinforcement near the shock towers.
the coupe does not.
the coupe can have the reinforcement added.

I posted pictures displaying it.
