Anyone have a T shaped ICV I can have.

A girl I trained with that's my age is getting married and told me she's excited for her new car and to start making car payments and rent. How fucked is that?

The only car payment I want to make is towards a six speed swap.

i guess that consumerism for you

That's pretty sad if you think about it. All she has to look forward to is those 2 things. Maybe she was raised to be a sheep by bible thumpers.

[MR 325]

She should be looking forward to more important things like making sandwiches!

So I'm a firm believer that's 3.23 diff is the way to go. I can boost harder in 1st gear, hit 65 at 7000rpm in second, third gear is more fun and fourth gear is now pretty much what 5th used to be. That means 5th is now an overdrive gear which is what I've always wanted.

2ean (Sean?), after thinking about it last night that is exactly the conclusion I came to. Id rather have the short commute for the 5 days and deal with the traffic when I am out and about than vice versa. Plus the places I found in Fullerton all have one car garages and thats an important thing for me

Fullerton is great, there's a cool little Pub/Restaurant there that is themed exactly like an English pub, and have the best fish and chips in SoCal (in my opinion) it's called The Olde Ship, other than that I know nothing about Fullerton haha

I do agree. Doing the math in Excel shows with my 235/40/17 with ZF trans 1rst is 37, 2nd 63, 3rd 94, 4th 127 and 5th 157. Right now I have a 2.93 which I want to swap out. The 3.23 would give me exactly what an E36 M3 would be geared at as well as the rollout.

BTW stating that 5th is now overdrive would be wrong. You didn't change the transmissions ratio to 1:1 or less, unless you are still using the Getrag which did have overdrive.

The police down there are pretty cool too

...except that whole killing unarmed homeless guys thing

Where I cone from they call that street sweeping :)

[einstein57]

I have a getrag. I'm still m20. I was debating between 3 different diffs at my disposal (2.93 and 3.46 were the other options). It can't really boost in 5th anymore. At 80mph i can only get 4-5 lbs of boost. But when i build my 2.8 it should be titts +1.

stupid drive shaft wont come apart. i got the collar nut unscrewed, but it seems like the splines are frozen on there. no visible rust, i think its dirt and grease. no collapsing action whatsoever. soaked it few times in oil. better come apart tomorrow, i wanna get this motor in!

Nigel what turbo do you plan on using for the 2.8?
