Black and Tan

So I decided to gut the rear of my car and then do a full photoshoot with it. This is the result:

What kind of suspension are you running??

What's with the tape?

[mbonder]

He's got an eta engine in a car with an i cluster. So the eta only revs to 5k or so, thus the tape.

[e30_325es]

Yup, that's right. I kept forgetting where the limiter was, so I needed a "reminder". I've got a head swap planned for Jan or Feb, and wanted to make sure the cluster worked.

It's on IE3's and Koni's. There is a definate difference cornering, especially at slower speeds and accelerating. I've got to restrain myself in 1st or else I fear the back end will kick out, which wouldn't be fun in traffic.

Thanks for the comments!

Redline fo sho.

[Garageaholic]

aaaah, okay, I thought you didn't want to see the redline, so you taped it out. lol.

If you stiffen the fronts more than the rear, you can dial out oversteer, like you speak of.

But personally, for me - I purposely kick it out - it adds to my excitement. I always wonder what people think when they see me slide around a turn as they sit there waiting to turn the direction I just turned from. hehe

[e30_325es]

The fronts are actually already stiffer than the rears, one full turn up from soft, and the rears are still full soft.

It's not that I don't like oversteer, I just don't like it in traffic. I'll prolly get used to it, but I've only driven like 300 miles like that so far. And I've got a 21mm sway bar to attach up front still.

the euro plate describes the car well.

the euro plate describes the car well.

The best part is that it's a real plate and not one I had made. I've got the 2nd one for the rear when I get a plate filler. And I might get vanity plates to match the euro plate, cause it's funny.
