It means I'm done arguing in someone else's thread.

Haha,btw I thought I was the one doing all the arguing?

No worries Jean,I actually like to help people that want to learn something.Championships at the club,regional and national level in 4 completely different cars and 2 different forms of car racing means I "might" actually know what I'm talking about.

I will be at the Marina on the 14th also.

Cool, looking forward to it. what car are you running? and what class is it in?

Was it a red e30m3 ?

no, it was a black e30 m3.

Time for a bump?

The Z3 3.15 is torsen, maybe try that?

Ratio is not ideal, 3.25 was not right either. I want to keep the same ratio I have as it's working out even on the bigger lots.

What about moving your gears onto the torsen carrier? Shouldn't be a problem.

Yeah, I am not sure if it's best to rebuild the factory diff with 4 new clutches or go with OBX + new hardware..

This might be relevant to you:

The gist of that is (imho), torsens are great, and do your own QA before installing it.

I have great autox E30 setup. Sadlly a big money diff was what made my car faster. Like 2 seconds faster on the average course. I bought a Metric mechanic diff and love it to death. I also swapped the ratio but that was to accommodate tire size change.

Dont know if pics prove anything but a DSP guy that took 3rd drove my car and came back and said WOW.

Did you get one with modified ramps?

Yes it was a sport model as they advertise. I pretty called them and said hey I need a new LSD and I want a ratio change. I think it has one more clutch disk too.

Hope it wasn't to 3.46 or 3.64 if you plan to stay in DSP...
