        I just put in a 4.10 LSD in my cabby and love it from a traction standpoint. Dont really notice any difference between it and the 3.73 from a gearing standpoint. Welcome to club!

            bimmerboy12, please make your sig smaller. Thanks.






            I had a set of 3.73's in my 85 eta. I liked it but on the interstate at 65mph with 3000rpms it wasn't that great. Around town was fine and it pulled the mountains better with them in it.

                FLUTE007, I'm sorry but r3v and NH are too small to have too James Bond/Musical Instrument-influenced screen names...

                J/k, welcome to the board! Where are from? It would be great to have another e30 to come along on summer cruises!

                Cheers,

                  What do you mean you like the 4.1:1 from a traction standpoint? The higher the ratio, the easier it will be to break traction. Do you just mean because it's a limited slip?

                  And your sig pic is way too big, you should resize that.

                                Haha, that's awesome! No no, the car is still mine, that was an overgrown april fools situation that got out of hand. It's still going in certain circles of this forum actually...

                                I snapped a rocker so instead of fixing it, I drove to Boston today to get another motor.
