Hey any of you guys on a 4.10 LSD? Worth swapping out?

B&G progressive wound 350/450, 1.5" drop

Cool.

[kronus]

I see. What springs did you get anyway?

well, I hope I get the springs in the mail at all. Seller has been kind of incomunicado. I'll let you know once I have them in hand.

i moved to sf proper, been real busy and haven't had a lot of time to mess with car things. Trying to get back into it now, got springs for the e24 coming, not sure if I have the tools to install them.

Ah, I see. Come over if you need to install.

[kronus]

Dude, where the heck have you been? :rofl:

It's been alternating between east bay (Milpitas or Fremont) and peninsula (Tanforan or Millbrae BART if it's raining).
This week is east bay.

awww fuck i missed this. It's a lot closer to me than Fremont. Was that a one-off location, or will it be there this week also?

Hey crazy question, does the N54 motor fit into an e30, or has anyone attempted to put one in? Have a source that can get me one, but was wondering if it might just be smarter to do a turbo s50?

I believe you can shoehorn it into that engine bay. It's a mess to integrate the electronics, though. Better off doing the well-documented S50 swap.

Anyone in nor cal have experience with an s50 cam swap? I know the bigger named shops can do it but do any of you have some experience as well? I'd be willing to pay someone to help me with my cam swap.

Should I replace vanos at the same time when doing the cams?

Or should I just ditch the stock motor and grab an s52 and call it a day?

The cam swap is doable at home. Just work slowly and carefully and you won't have to worry about breaking anything.

pay day is nice, but i wish it was Friday.

Partyin', partyin', yeah?
