My SuperEta. About to get a lil more Super!

nice progress man. Kinda the direction all new e30 owners should take to make their ride last.

I agree, BTW where those Vogtland springs that you took out? If they are do you still have them? I'll take them from you.

[88SuperETABD]

Don't have em...i traded them for the h&r's. And they were intrax. Not vogtland

[rayyLo]

what paint did you use for the tails

[88SuperETABD]

Testors I believe??? I got it from a hobby shop.

Okay, so I was driving from home back to school on the freeway...maybe around 55mph I downshifted to 4th gear. As I did that, i hear a "grinding" like noise. It sounded like something was grinding my driveshaft. So I get to my dorm. And the next day i jack up my car. Checked underneath, my driveshaft has no marks on it and is not hitting anything.

This grinding noise only happens when the car is driving. In neutral, or in any gear. If i'm moving it happens. It also only happens when i'm decellerating (off the gas) If im accelerating, the noise doesnt come until i lay off the gas or even out.

Weird thing is, I jacked the rear of my car up. And put the car in gear and drove (with wheels spinning in air). The noise wasnt there...in any gear. Which was odd.

I dont know what to do...i know my tranny is leaking and has been leaking. What does my problem sound like to you guys? Sound like low tranny fluid?
Any info would be great. Feel free to ask me more questions.

Help me!!!!!!! ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Diff is a possibility.

[88SuperETABD]

So I drained/refilled the tranny. I was about 400 mL low (out of 1.25L), shifting feels alot better...but that noise is still there...I also towed my car home. Noise was still there when front tires off the ground...so i know its somewhere from the driveshaft back

Okay, so my cars all good. Ended up being something kicked up, bent a heat shield where i couldn't see. Any whoo. Next thing i wanna tackle is changing out my shocks. Ive had Boge's with my old springs and it wasnt a problem bottoming out except for REAL big bumps etc. Now that i switched to eibach pros with front cut spring. I am bottoming out a lot...I know I atleast need billy sports. Will that solve my problem? Or since I only have about a finger clearance from fenders do i need to get the Koni sport adjustables?

[88SuperETABD]

Got my 35w 3000k DDM kit for fogs and 5000k for low's. Once i get a chance to install...i'm gonna try to tackle it. Hopefully i dont mess it up. Supposedly 9006 bulbs are plug n play. hope its that easy.

[88SuperETABD]

Finished my new sub box :) Thanks to Clavinzero for idea...with my own little tweak. Also installed REAL leather rear seats with armrest that i scored from pick n pull in perfect condition. Will post pics of it installed later. HID's should be going in soon. Also, my dad wax/polished the camaro's rims for 5 hours. Sent me a pic..."excuse his fingers"
More to come...


And the maro.

I'm a sucker for 67's. It looks good in arrest me red.
The supereta is coming along nicely too. Cool rides man.

[88SuperETABD]

Got the HID's hooked up. Heres a vid of warmup. It was sooooo easy to install, did it in my school's parking garage haha.

Pic, old 4300k silverstar bulbs from kragen compared.

both headlights done, right fog HID old halogen fog left

All 4 done.

[88SuperETABD]

I need to turn off my running lights. 6 lights = too much.

[88SuperETABD]

Bad news, tickets...exhaust ticket, then a speeding ticket. Then i get my exhaust back to stock, sucks, till my car gets hit outside of my friends exhaust shop. Will show a pic when i get one, I don't even wanna see it :(
