My SuperEta. About to get a lil more Super!

[88SuperETABD]

Little update...took on a lil DIY. Save me some money and improve my box beem's appearance. All RED Tails :)


Taping off

Painted

Can you tell the difference?


Finished product...sorry for iphone pics.

Goal=Get rid of all orange on my car...theme is going to be Red/clear/black. Next is to paint calipers red!

Guess I could rebalance em.

[TimKninja]

Get your tires balanced?... Youd feel an out of balance tire more up front then you would in the rear.

[88SuperETABD]

The bentley states that you should not rotate your tires on an e30.

So...then you just gotta keep buying new rear tires? The rear camber is way more than the front...my rear tires burn from the innerside to the outside...if that makes sense.

Would you recommend getting the 3.73 for the eta in an automatic? I heard it's way to short and highway driving would suck. let's hear your input, thanks

I recommend getting a 5 speed. I wouldn't be able to say...I 5 speed swapped then lsd swapped...not other way around or I'd know first hand...it probably is too high on the freeway for the eta...i'm revving at 3k at like 73 mph in 5th. But mines no longer and eta.

And just got done washing/polishing my car. I can throw out my mirrors now and just use my car :)

Okay, So i rotated my tires....which i definately needed to do. my rears are worn maybe an inch in because of camber...I put those up front...now my steering wheel is shaking when I am driving...its probably because of the alignment right?

Back tires that are now on fronts.


Also...anyone know the part number..or what this hose is called? i think i need a new one...if you can see...its warped or something...i have a feeling it has to do with my brake problem.

Very good build. Especially for someone who works outta their garage

UPDATE!!!:
3.73 LSD + bad wheel bearing replaced(drivers)...couldnt replace passenger side wheel bearing...because it is frozen inside the hub. Drivers side hub was scored so i had to get a new rear hub...also bearing fell apart, ball bearings everywhere haha. My wheel drone is finally gone!!! Sounds oh so much better, its quiet inside other than my exhaust...tomorrow if its not raining..gonna rotate my tires....then test it out some more if its dry. On the way home it pulled soooo nicely. It was wet and barely raining...still a little scared in the wet after my 360 on the freeway about amonth back...but dropped it in 4th and did 70-105 very smoothly and quickly...and then let off...I LOVE IT! night and day with the damn 2.93--->3.73lsd. Oh...and first time i punched it from the lunch 2nd gear pitched me sideways pretty good. Haha. <3. If anyone has a 2.93...you need a 3.73.

Nice dude. How long have you been running the 2.7i with the seta diff?

far too long! prob 3-4k miles. And, a pic my roommate took of my car.

Damn, lucky you buddy. I can't believe no ones got a damn "i" lip that they want to get rid of...

A guy on baye30 has 2 of them he's trying to get rid of.

[88SuperETABD]

Whoot! Got my 3.73 LSD! Thanks to Bruce. 150k miles looks super clean.



Can't wait to get it installed...also, rear wheel bearings gonna be replaced this week.

[HarryPotter]

I'd been looking for one forever (any lip)...they're super rare...just got lucky. I plan on snagging rare parts anytime i see them...just a matter of me getting lucky...right spot at the right time.
