    I think I need serious help

    For some reason im not happy with the performance of my eta like i have this mind that just full of stupidity and I just want my car to go fast, like stupid fast on the highway, and especially whenever my buddy mentions his ride can keep up with mine or his friends whatever or that it pulls alot this and that i get too much ego. Back like 12 some years ago when my dad drove this back down from sacramento area he was pulling little pass 120 on the I-5 like nothing. As of earlier i took it out all the way to some deserted place then i was pulling, 4th gear at about 112 @ 4500, its got a Dinan chip so it got more room in the rev but what disappointed me was it was slowly climbing unlike how my dad was driving it, i didnt take the chance at 5th gear as im afraid theres a cop hidden out in one of the cross streets, and also the road was hilly but not much. Ever since i got the tune up and slap the stock airbox back ive been acting like a speed devil and hungry for more, ive been driving 85 on the freeway and its ABNORMAL, and im stupid enough to waste gas over little crap like that. i need help, many e30 owners and other people told me just take care of it and cruise around with it especially its a grey market import and that i dont need to prove anything. Sorry if i sound like a kid but ya know idk what to do, i just want some help

    I just needed help how to stop this attitude of mine, sorry if i didnt clarify before

    I was really hoping there was some punctuation and maybe..just maybe, a period or two so I didn't have to read that in one breath.

    I'm guessing someone is going to say doing an M50/S5/2/4 swap. Orrrrr...something about how 325e's are slow to begin with.

            I didn't read what he wrote.

              Hm before or after the edit ;)

              Nonetheless, OP, just enjoy the car for what it is. From the looks, it appears to be rather good looking as you're slowly but surely restoring.

                Neither, I guessed both times!

                Anyways, OP.... If you think you need help, I highly suggest you go find a concrete wall. Then look really hard at it while concentrating on the smallest speck of the porous surface. While doing so contemplate time, the universe, the infinitesimally small life you will be leading.

                And then hit your forehead against that wall.
















                really















                REALLY















                Hard.





















                That should help knock some sense and hopefully some punctuation into ya.








                Joking aside. Do it in front of cops. They'll help you out no problem.

                    OP I have an eta as well. cut a coolant hose and let your car sit on a driveway a few months. Ride a bicycle everywhere and then fix car. You will feel like a F1 driver and be satisfied.

                              First car and already pushing that hard for more go? Take your time and live a little. Learn when to shift and how to properly corner. Your car will get faster as you increase your skill.

                              ...to a point, of course.

                              Most of all, don't die in a fiery crash.
