Hi guys,

I'm new to the R3V community.

Been building for a long time and finally got my hands on an e30. then another one fell in my lap.

putting an 95 s50/zf into one of them but I don't want to make a thread for it yet because I"m not done parts gathering etc. I want to have a build thread that suits the kinds of searches I like to do which means it's done in a few posts with some useful information included.

I'm looking for a driveshaft and an LSD that's in the low spectrum

I'll be putting a VF supercharger on it once I get it BAR'd. It's already on my e46 touring

Cheers. :)

if anyone is in Monterey and wants to wrench, hit me up.

Z3 Torsen diff! do it! hi dave.

[kronus]

I have a Z3 torsen, haven't thrown much power at it yet but it's been good so far. Do it.

I'm looking for a z3 torsen actually. had a 1.5 torsen in an 03 cobra that I loved.

Was totally stoked that the same diff (different size) came in the z3m

trying to see if this picture from facebook will work.


*it will not.

Yeah, he got lucky. He found damn near all the suspension at pick n pull, and even got those wheels at pnp.

He told me how you drilled through an e28 or mtech spolier he sold you. Lol

I drilled through a trunklid. Not his spoiler.

be advised, z3m diffs are clutch-type. if you want a torsen, you need one from a non-m.

Get a 3.15lsd Torsten diff from the 2.8l z3


They work well with the zf

Thanks!
