What did you do to your E30 today?

[evil_twin]

^ nice


I changed the oil in the e30 today again. Instead of using BG MOA and BG RF-7, I used BG MOA and Lucas Oil Treatment shit. Seems to do alright. We'll see within the next few months. I'm kinda pissed I didn't do a compressions test before I added the stuff in and after I added the stuff just because the Lucas claims it restores compression. I know Lucas is decent stuff, so like I said, we'll see.

Learned allot of mpg tips.

Tuned it some, and instead of getting a 1/2 tank
I got 1/4 tank on the same route. :D

Share these tips. My gas mileage is in the poop.


(but it's most likely due to shitty plugs, shitty plug wires, and a probably failed o2 sensor)

Low load freeway/street cruising leaned the fuck OUT!

Went as lean at 17afr and all that did was occasional misfire even with
msd. It seems to like 15.3afr.

45mph in 4th gear it gets 23-27mpg if it's just cruising.

About 10mpg if I floor it though. lol


Big tip is to stay in light loads. Like getting on a stationary bike.
Are you going to burn more energy getting up to speed from a stop,
or slowly getting up to the same speed? Or starting off to top speed vs sustaining that top speed. ;)

Listen to the exhaust, the deeper and louder it is the more gas you're burning even
at higher rpm.

LOW LOAD! Drive like a bitch and don't be afraid of rpms! :D
