    Not much of a racer yet. I just like having fun on the road, and it IS fun, but it's not as fun as it could be when grannies in cadillacs are pulling harder than I am.

    So if I need to swap an engine in down the road...wouldn't it be better to swap in a better engine than just the m20b25 (did i get that right?)?

    and what do the numbers on the differentials signify?

    thanks. you guys have given me hope...and you guys are right; if I were to sell it, i'd be losing about the $2000 that i put in it.

        also, the numbers on the differential signify what ratio the differention is.

        if you're going to swap motors though, i would say either m30b35 or m52tu with a zf tranny. both are VERY fun.

            Ever hear of the phrase "sunk costs"? Throw some bottlecaps on it, take off the spoiler, and sell it for a $1000 and move on.

                this isnt the last car your gona have, you should have some fun with it, 3.73 diff and a turner chip, and youl have a car just as fast as an i car if not faster. and maybe more fun than an i car

                  I'd say keep it just for the gas prices now.

                    That was going to be my suggestion: 3.73 and a chip.

                    Might not be as fast as a 325i, but for a few hundred bucks, it's a nice comprimise.

                    I used to have a chipped 325es and it was a fun car to drive.

                    These cars are not going to win any drag races anyways.

                      drag races , no , but with a 3.73 and chip all that low end will be a blast good luck and keep the car.
