Strict budget, slow restoration. *Now with moar budget*

They're pretty quiet when cold, but I just put em on so it's hard to say overall. So far they're nearly silent compared to how loud the hp+ or ht10s were after a week though.

I remember how much my HP+ squealed. I hated it so much I got rid of them for some HPS, and now I miss them because while they are quiet, they don't bite worth a damn.

Finally got through this thread, I was locked in as if reading a great novel. I feel somewhat intimidated and greatly inspired. Although I'm going to keep my 91 318is (my 4th and favorite e30) mostly stock, I plan on doing an M50 swap in in an early 325. Fantastic thread for some reference and ideas. Thanks for sharing..

Shit that is quick to 120!

[Wh33lhop]

Yep

Am I correct to assume that video is with the 4.10 diff still?

Holy hell! Do those pads make squealy noises?

brake test

[Wh33lhop]

Yeah the braking performance of a regular car is pretty surprising, keep in mind the brakes can lock all four tires at most under-highway speeds with enough pressure, you are only limited by the friction circle of all four tires. The PFC11s I just put on can easily lock up all four r-compounds at 120+, it's pretty ridiculous the difference a good pad can make. I haven't taken the HT10s off my 330 since the last track day either, it's too addicting.

Ok, you have my attention...

Any issues with engagement in your LSD currently?

Yeah, on r comps if you unload a wheel or aggressively exit a second gear corner it will roast the inside for days. It was laughable at the last autox, basically useless. I'm not sure my "hopping" problem on concrete will fix itself with a built diff but it should be done regardless.

Even if you don't autox or track your car I would recommend being aware of its limits. Autox is a good place to explore them for a beginner.

I would love to put my car on an autox course. I've had the abs engage a few times, I was just surprised by how much it took to get there.

I've never had mine on the track or anything but, it does take quite a bit to engage it.

Next up, I am excited for this:

Lol. I have. :p

Just skimmed all 51 pages. Great work!

After seeing how clean your e30's underbody is I'm not looking forward to working on my rusty ass car.

Holy hell, i spent all of last night reading this thread from the beginning to present until my eyes couldn't strain anymore and just finished the rest first thing this morning. Wh33lhop is a God to say the least. I want to sell off any decent priced possessions of mines to also go 24v in my eta and try to live it up like your sir. Cheers!
