Usually when they break the head is fine, you just need to replace the broken ones.

shup.

Me and matt took the 87 325is 145.... through sylmar
but yea, your probably wont believe that.


after that rocker arm broke did all hell brake loose, or is it just that one damaged part, or is the whole head trash now? or you know.. rebuildable ?

[cahomey]

i spoke 2 soon snapped rocker for me.

Hilarious...


...sorry. lol

[Tree18is]

7100 nice to have.. only if...
from what i haven driven the chipped m42 had a smother pull i kinda felt. but i might want to add one of those little shift lights, not a fuckn moster tach, but the light to let you know when you get to 6500+ (pen shift lights)
your about to say (you schould know) yea, i like lights.

139.59 for all the parts to make it work.. defiantly something for the next 100 bucks i find on the ground.

Yes you do... but don't worry, 5th won't get you any faster currently as it is overdriven and the i motor definitely does not have enough power to push it any faster than that in an overdriven gear. You need a 3.73 or something along those lines I think, unless you turbo it or something cool :)

[Mr Deagle]

Got ya, makes more sense than if it had an E motor!

yah, but i totally need a new rear gear, 1st goes to 40, 2nd goes to 75, 3rd goes to 120, and 4th tops out at 145(thats where i let off)

You don't get many Ford Pintos down there I guess?

I'm just kidding... sorta! I only drove my ETA around the block once before I pulled the 2.7 out, but my first and only impression was "Oh my god, fucking weak!!!"...

And a few days later, the M30 went in.



Mr. Deagle, not to pick on you, but which one of your cars pulled 145 with 2.79 gears? My Alfa pulled 145 with 4.10 gears and the tach pinned at 6000rpm, right at the peak power. 155hp and 155ft/lbs out of the 2.5. That car was lighter and much more aerodynamic than an E30. If you say ETA, I'm just gonna go roll my E28 off a cliff and buy another 325e I guess.

eta with an i, its at like 5000rpms in 4th gear, theoretical top speed is 198mph

[TheCondor]

Rev limiter kicking in 6100 rpm's for 1st, 2nd and 3rd gears, 6200 something for 4th and 5th.

Top speed 230something KM with a 391 diff.

Useless info : Broken rocker arm as of yesterday, I feel like someone stabbed me with a knife every time my E30 has a serious problem :(

[euroshark]

you can always see a distinct change in their facial features. and then i blow their doors off. unless i get in those rare cases where it is a car that is a little faster than an ETA, though that is rare.

When i get punk fucks at lights that look at me like i am a dousche cause of the bass emitting from my car i let that shit bounce off the r3vlimiter as i look right at them. you can always see a distinct change in their facial features. and then i blow their doors off. unless i get in those rare cases where it is a car that is a little faster than an ETA, though that is rare. ;)

the first (and only) time i drove an eta, i was bouncing the rev limiter on every shift.
