Yeah, mid-engine is a lot different. Turn in is so "in your face" with a mid-engine car. I know the mid-90s MR2s had nasty oversteer; my '03 had very easy-to-modulate oversteer. I could hang the ass out all the way around a corner and it wouldn't bite back--it'd just smoothly rotate back with a little bit of opposite lock. I can't do that in my E30 at all! But, I actually preferred driving the E30 most of the time (back when I had both cars)--it has more natural turn-in and rotation, but I can see why all serious race cars are mid-engined.

you get used to the oversteer.....you just have to learn the limits of your car. The biggest problem is the limits come VERY sudden and can come w/o warning, hence "snap oversteer". I want an e30 now too, after driving Charlies.....but I have to finish paying off the new 50k miles engine first-1992 325i -

I don't think he's trying to fool anyone, i ran a FMIC with no turbo set-up for awhile because it was a bitch getting the thing to fit, after i got it in, i was like "Fuck that, i'm not wasting my time taking it out to put it back in".Comment

The point is hes been talking about a turbo setup for ever, and every time hes said itll be done in a few weeks or shortly. But by now hes not fooling anyone.Back to my roots

i dont wanna start shit, again, but noone has mentioned the absence of the high beams. i must say those intakes look much better black than chrome
edit: no wonder noone mentioned it , there are no front shotsYour signature picture has been removed since it contained the Photobucket "upgrade your account" image.

Would it make you feel better if I gave you a cookie? I didn't mean for the crap that has been going on to me lately to effect the whole e30 community. I've been dealing with a lot the past few months and I would appreciate it if you wouldn't mind chilling out. I don't want your simpathy, just get off my back. I said that the turbo will be on and it will. You M20 guys have everything set out for you so you don't understand how it is designing a kit from scratch. You have manifolds already made, know what works best for whatever situation, and pretty much anything you need to know. I'm having to do a lot to make sure its right and the best I can make it, and all that while the crap is hitting the fan from every angle and consentrate on college work.Last edited by asubimmer; 10-05-2006, 11:00 AM.///Alpinweiß II 24v 91' 318is, Alpinweiß III 99' 323i, 04' Yamaha R6 SE for sale, 00' VW GTi, 83' El Camino BURNED, 01' P71sold, 92' Miatasold
