Oz10's Ghetto Fabulous e30 Build Thread

[iamsam]

i am so ditching my trunk weight mat sound deadening crap. Fuck balance man. less weight in the rear = less understeer at the track. and oversteer is cooler than understeer.

[Oz10]

Man if you got this e30 just a week or two ago you work pretty damn quick. I procrastinate about everything for my car.

Yeah its been moving along nicely. I found a couple bad fuses and that was the problem behind most of the interior electronic issues. So that helped out a lot.

nice, i like what youve done

[Oz10]

I appreciate the complements. Here are some pictures I took while painting my window trim. After pics will be up soon!

Good work. I have an early model and I don't have any of that kind of material in my trunk.

No euro cars had the mat at all. so I wouldnt be paying too muchattention to the weight distribution thing.---- even the fully loaded A/C cars with automatics didnt get it here.---its def. for road noise in my book.

Ok, so explain to me why 318's dont have it, 325 2door has double sheets of this and 325 4door has a single sheet.

The fact that no euro cars had it isn't true. I have owned and worked on E30's in Europe seeing I spent half my life there.

Try autocross your car without the mat. Big difference!

Hell yeah man let me know when yours is ready. Do you ever go to the sonic meets off Riverside drive?

Weight distribution has an interesting effect on vehicle dynamics that goes beyond oversteer/understeer. Technically decreasing the weight over the rear axle increases your rear wheel rate, but there are many more effects than that. The dynamics are too complicated to generalize into under/oversteer.

Here's a few shots after I painted the window trim.

Car looks awesome man.

[Holland]

I would like to see where this beast goes, especially with the progress you are making.

[Oz10]

I really appreciate it guys. I'm giving it my all. I'm picking up a tranny tomorrow and hopefully I can get a new lip and skirts. This time I'm painting them satin black like my spoiler and trim.
