My SuperEta. About to get a lil more Super!

[88SuperETABD]

Very easy, cuz I got a 88. Its a direct swap, cept i am missing some bolts haha

[phenryiv1]

Looking good. How hard (or easy) was the bumper swap?

[88SuperETABD]

UPDATE: New Springs...New Drop...New love.
Heres some pics. Eibach Pro with one coil cut up front. Also in the middle of bumper swap. still need to do the rear. And i need the bolts to hold on the sides.

so you swapped clusters?

yes i swapped clusters because with the 2.7i engine...you can rev past 6k no problem.


And it was 9$! For the clutch stop. And i only have peanutbutter in my jiffy jar.

No engine swap...super eta's are close to an i. My car isn't technically a eta anymore...so i guess your right.

I have some clear coat,but i never put it on cuz i thought it matched perfectly and wasn't necessary...never thought about it fading. Thanks for the tip.

P.S. Got a clutch stop today...best 9$ i ever spent. Makes the world of difference in shifting.

Ya you really shouldn't rotate tires, get a camber kit if tires are killing you. Taking your camber wore out rear tires and placing them upfront isn't exactly a great idea.

I have a jiffy jar full of bolts, I paid 0 dollars and 0 cents for my clutch stop and it's at the perfect height. I dunno why you guys spend 10 dollars on clutch stops...

Make sure to spray some automotive clear over the entire tail light. If you don't the red paint on the tails will fade and then you will have glossy tails in all places except he turn signals.

Looks like a good and fun e30 project. Sounds nice too!

Definitely a Super Eta car. In the older pictures you can see the 6k tach and Eta intake manifold.

Super Eta cars had the same ICV (and wiring) as the i cars.

[Kershaw]

so...

the thread title is "my super eta" but... ah.. its not an eta. unless im mistaken.

2 things:
1. dash goes to 6.5k redline. seta had a 5.5k redline. eta had a 4.5k redline
2. your idle control valve (icv) is on the intake side of the engine. etas have the icv on the exhaust side of the engine.

so whats going on here? you must have swapped engines.

Took my car down to my gf's. Decided to test out the new LSD. I know it can keep going...pulls hard up to this point...

and a pic of my car at Sonics

[88SuperETABD]

you can't see black tho. I could always change...i have tons of spray paint for some reason lol. Right now theyre white. for some odd reason i thought it would look good.

[Kershaw]

i'd paint the calipers black. that way it looks clean. red calipers (that arent bbk) look a bit ricey.

black/silver calipers look really nice.

[88SuperETABD]

yup...i love em...just gotta get rid of the orange turn signals up front(replaced with clear)...then all orange will be off my car...then need to paint brake calipers red.

[Butler]

Red tails are lookin good. :)
