Bought a POS, this is R3Vs fault

Ok, back home... but car isn't so I'm going to keep the details on the dyno hostage until I can also include a 'driving review' likely to be later in the week, than earlier. Driving up from Los Angeles to NorCal on Friday so I can also add (later) how it does on the freeway.

To distract you from that for just a moment I have been slowly trying to upgrade the factory speakers knowing that the extent of this stereo system will be the Blaupunkt Headunit, its 4 outputs and ~35W/ channel... Ok! All that to explain that my most recent side-project was to upgrade the rear premium speaker setup to this Hertz component setup. Was nearly an easy swap, but was easy enough to do while watching a World Cup game in the background.







The "prep" that JMP is doing, in addition to the dyno, was the Power steering install, but I had them go over the car to make sure I can make my "1000 mile" excursion without issue. So now this looksie- track prep includes Stainless Steel brake lines, and replacing my worn OEM engine mounts with some Condor Mounts. I was a little hesitant on the Condor mounts, but I will wait until after the excursion to decide if they are staying or not. Also having them peak at what's going on with the e-brake as of all the things... is one of the most annoying things about this car.

Stay tuned kids, I think you will like what I have been hiding from you.

Sounds good! Like the bit of a rasp that just kicks in at the end of the pull. Not too crazy but still throaty.

All of this is happening while Im quite a ways away from the car.


You’ll get graphs and more when I want to give them to you …

Simon show us the real numbers!

I promise you that these are actual dyno numbers for my 325es

[McGyver]

Come on 2mAn , we can see that a different graph from your screenshot!

[Panici]

Similar power to a stock 1.6L miata, but you figure an extra 500-600lbs on the E30.

Edit: I don't know if I can trust that graph. Revved out to 8500rpm on the bottom axis?

Simon show us the real numbers!

[MrBurgundy]
