A Few Randoms From The Weekend

[WillisE30]

I went on a cruise with some old Mitsubishi buddies this last weekend and brought the E30 along for kicks. Here's some of the better pics people snapped of the car.



I hate cosmoline



So yeah, I got hassled a bit too




My friend Trent abusing his STI

So do the stockish Sti's and Evo's blow your doors off or can you more or less hang with them?

[WillisE30]

I got nothing on them from a standing start but I keep up once we get moving, I was actually pretty surprised. Obviously once you mod those cars it's no contest though, making ~400hp is child's play.

saw your car a few weeks ago at joes. rather impressive.

I love the look on guys faces in their pretty new WRX that get something coming to 'em when they get whooped by some "old white bimmer". Looks awsome man, I bet it's a blast. I wish I could do another swap to S52... :D

Nice nice. Keep her looking bone stock

I tell him this every day. He doesn't believe me.



Lookin good Will. I gotta get my car back together and we can go out for a drive and photoshoot.





P.S. - Wanna do a p/s pump on a 2000 S4?

These cars are definitely highway killers, although a well modded Evo or WRX is going to whoop up on them with ease.

If I can find the time yes. This time of year it's difficult to get motivated to do sidework.

Also, GET YOUR CAR RUNNING.

Looking mega clean. Nice work on the S52. What kind of gas mileage number do you get?

So far I have the guys I work with (indie german shop with mostly BMW business) and Darkwing6 threatening to kill me if I go plastics. Backtrail69 and most of the rest of the world think I should go plastic.

As for MPG, depends obviously. I just switched over to an e36 ZF tranny and 3.25LSD from the stock G260 and 3.73LSD(Last week). Highway mpg got a tad worse after the swap(the gears in the ZF box are LOW). I see around 23mpg with mixed city highway and lots of abusive driving. Good steady highway cruising yields 27-29 if I'm gentle with it.

nice car. Keep it stock for the sleeper look ;)

[backtrail69]

Get those plastics on! Looking good man. I wish I could drive my baby more.

Nice. Ya our swaps have no chance off the line against those AWD beasts, but do a rolling start from mid second and it's on like donkey kong!!! I have the same tranny and gearing, I think a 3.4X or 3.5X range would be a little better for torque though. 1st and 2nd are too short regardless, but 3rd and 4th are hella long.
