What's your final gear ratio?

Ok, I was FINALLY able to get the car to rotate pretty decently, still need a rear bar. Set the fronts to 40 (hot) and rears to 39 (hot). Rotates decently now. I was able to come within a few thousandths of a second from my friend in a '98 BS M3 and was able to beat my other buddy in a '90 E30 with a 2.8 M20 and MZCoupe brakes by like 3 seconds. Hopefully I will be able to easily beat the '98 M3 once I get the sway bar in. I'm going to go to a 21 front and 19.5 in the rear.

Jeremiel5: Today I started at 40/40 (f/r) tire pressure. Ended up at 37/40 (f/r). I would have to fronts up more but I badly need a rear bar of some sorts. I've got one at work that I am going to throw on for the next autox and put a convertible 21mm in front and see how it feels. I may drop the fronts another 1 psi to see how freely it wants to rotate tomorrow.

Hmm, I can't quite remember. But, I believe I ended up with 35 front and 37 rear. There is a 2-day divisional event this weekend. I will make sure that I keep track of my pressures this weekend and report back.

I really appreciate it, sir. Good Luck on the run! here's some photos of what we did last saturday. Enjoy!

I've been running a 4.10LSD for a few years now - as already mentioned it makes a nice enhancement when accelerating. I've had a chance to try it on the track too.......lots of fun. Unfortunately, the roll my car plays these days is a commuter and not a racer. I just recently picked up a 3.73LSD which will be going in soon.

what tire pressure were you running?

we (einstein57's e30) started at 36 front and 34 rear, but it was hell hot that day, so after our first run, pressure came up to 38 front left, 37 front right, 37 rear right and 35 rear right... we kept messing with the pressure until it became stable at 33 front and 32 rears.... he has a 3.73 rear end, z3 short shifter, no chip and it didn't feel right. chip is definitely a must, so redlines goes up to 7000rpm which will allow us to stay in 2nd a bit longer. we beat a couple of corvettes that were in STX while we were in STS, :)

bottom line is; his tire sucked (well, they were okay, it did it's job, but not correctly)... do not race with NEOgens... better racing with Falken 615s from my experience.

4.45 open diff(and m20 flywheel) keep my m42 on a boil at the autocross. And puts the revs at about 3100 RPM at 62MPH

I was using the BFG KDW II's. I found out that I need a whole lot more rear bar. I was able to compensate by dropping the front tire pressure and increasing the rebound stiffness of my Koni's. Traction was surprisingly pretty good.

Still looking for a nice 3.25LSD in DFW area... just thought I'd toss it out there. Jordan sadly only had 1 that was apparently rusted to hells... so anyways if anyone else in Texas has a bunch of diffs they could look through and check for a 3.25... please do.

Ok. I did the inaugural run of the 330 yesterday at an autox. The 4.10 was AWESOME on the course that we had. I wish I had been able to get video, but my batteries, all three pairs, were crap. I was able to stay in 2nd gear the whole time. I was running in SM and was a mere one second off the fastest SM car (Mustang). I placed 4th out of about 10 SM entries. Awesome gearing for autox'ing.

Hell yea, nice job. What tires did you use? How was traction overall?
