Looks like san marcos and julian are the closest ones. My buddie works in oceanside so i'm going to see if he can go for me.

Alright guys what camber plates you guys recommend I've done some homework but can't figure it out ?? Vorshlag , gc touring , ie race

[MR 325]

Shant is suppose to come down next Tuesday for 7 heads so he may be able to take some stuff back to LA with him but I'm not sure what he is driving down.

He'll be driving the E30 truck I'm sure!

anyone know what wires to use or know a thread saying how to wire a fan so that it goes on when you hit the snowflake button? i cant find shit

Use the wires that went to the original AC/aux fan.

my brother has my 325e which Im pretty sure has a bad rear wheel bearing(drivers side)

who wants to replace it for me? (for $$$)

and also just go over the car with him

he lives in altadena

maybe just take it to castros?

Send him to Castros. Of PM Myster-E and see if he has time.

GC Touring is the way to go. No added noise and no noise from the bearings after 6 months.

Thanks Matt !! I was leaning that way just wanted to get some input I'm jumping over to coils from my ie3 setup what rate would be good for the vert I think 450-650 would still be alil soft for it

I have a couple places that are star certified and will pass our cars!!

I just paid $300 for star certified smog -.-

It's a week process tho.

Hi buddies. I need some help. Should I be hitting 3000 rpms doing around 70 in my vert? I has 373 LSD. Would a 2.93 be bad? I don't care about off the line acceleration anymore, I just want better mpg's.

Totally normal dude. A 2.93 will make you hate your car.

Leave it as is!

[mcr_driver]

2.93 is gear too low unfortunately for an I, it's what I have now. Wish I could source an inbetween ratio like that 3.15 that was for sale some time ago. otherwise there are a few 3.25's that pop up now and again from e28/24's

Thanks Matt!

Good luck Matt #2 with your hunt of a better geared LSD.

It's basically what Matt said all I hear is 250-300 and does take about a week but hey you get your certificate and don't have to go to bfe to get a p.o box or w/e I'd rather spend the 300 every 2 years then deal with it.

Yea that is true. I had to go to BFE Montebello, tried my usual smog shops around the valley & they said they couldn't do it anymore because of the STAR Program. He just took a copy of the registration and he said he will have the smog certificate ready in about a week.

[MR 325]

I'll check with my local guy and see if he can still do them. I'll let you guys know!
