    Got some driving video, but the camera shifted so...sorry.

    In the mean time, sent my guage cluster back to Bavarian Restoration to make the digital stealth gauges and CEL brighter (the CEL should be the same but they remove the light "director" clear plastic. They will add a remote adjustable Speedometer as mine was 15% off, which will be nice between my 2 tire sizes. Then change the Tach such that 8k is at 9 o'clock. With the smaller wheel and my 6'3" height, I can't see the top of the gauges.

    Having the 6 speed is awesome with this. 1rst gear is useless, but I knew that, I wish I knew how to adjust the antibucking table, and adjust the tables that account for how much energy is stored up in the engine to wheels, but one can't simply weigh items and do a little math.

    I was getting on an onramp, hit a slight bump in 2nd and next I am at ~30ยบ drift due to accidentally kicking the throttle, and reigned it back it by backing off but staying part throttle. A little hairy but only because I haven't raced for 3 yrs multiple times a month with the kart and this. I look forward to some Dunlop Direzza ZIIIs soon.

    Once on track, I will bring several sets of springs to change front and rear, and probably get some more race worthy dampers. The Koni SA have treated me well, but it's time to step up and get data logging going to dial it in per event.

              You're probably right! Sounds like California's version of black ice; over powered RWD vehicles. Haha

                Running a 3.73 with ~40% lockup.

                I had my dailies on which are 215/40/17 Sumimoto HZ2s. My Track and Show tires are 235/40/17. I believe I am running 3* all around or a little more, I need another alignment to verify. It tracks straight, but the steering wheel is pointed left a touch, not enough that realigning the steering wheel will fix it.

                I chose this gearing as it should be great for autoX, its intended purpose, yet also pretty damn good on track, and the highway 6th gear cruising is perfect. At fontana with the S52 I was 140mph in the Roval and the back end was light. Yay boxy aero!

                I do wish for another 100hp though. Alas I think it would be better to go with a better chassis that can fit 315+ all around.

                  Bavarian Restoration hooked it up again! I wanted my LED gauges brighter, so he removed the tint. Then he added a remote adjustable speedometer so that I can fix the error depending on tire sizes I am running. Should have it by Sat, then I will adjust the E30 IG rev counter so that it better works with my coolant temps and add a day/night switch, or possibly wire it into the headlight switch with a relay.

                      Do they sell the bezels and digital readouts individually?

                        ^Call/Email them. It's more than a simple install however.

                            Looks like the R3V logo with "e30" instead.

                              I always wondered what those wheels looked like on an E30. Definitely not disappointed. Those looks badass!

                              Gorgeous car man! Super jelly. Keep up the good work.

                                Got the cluster back! However I forgot to order the wires/pin header needed to give myself day/night mode on the E30 IG Rev lights....should arrive friday. So hopefully sat I will get the car running, throw on the BBS RSs and take it to SB Cars and Coffee again with some video as I also picked up a mic for my gopro equivalent.
