I need an LSD, among many other things.

Haha, your car is avtually the one I thought of as an exception to my statement.

Love the new French headlights as well!

Well thank you sir!

After this weekend I should have nothing big left to do on the e30

Impossible!

she'll crash the car before it gets worn out

That's the spirit!

$293.99 USD for kit, $75 for seals and $32 for oil, aint nobody got time for that

hey, guess what you never have to do with a torsen?

neener. :P

[mtech325]

Why's that? The output speed is the same, so same speed on the clutches right? Or do shorter gears put more torque on the clutches?

Think about the cars they came in. Someone with an M3 is going to DRIVE their car, and the grandma that bought an automatic 325is back in the day probably wasn't on top of maintenance or changing diff fluid on time. That leaves a bunch of worn out 4.10s that the r3vtards get used and beat the shit out of on top of years of neglect lolz.

Try jumping a couple berms with it though. :p

[Cabriolet]

nate, what happens when you hit berms with it?

[Wh33lhop]

If you lift a rear wheel a Torsen goes open, then when it hits the ground again it amplifies the drivetrain shock and occasionally eats itself or another component.

Not to say it will explode because they are great diffs in their own way but I feel an actual locking diff is more stable and predictable in general. I also get annoyed at the torsen on the mustang, I don't feel it puts power down in a manner I jive with.

[Cabriolet]

thank you.

[JNasti]

So I know someone here is going to bimmerfest. I saw one thread about meeting in SJ by 8 in the morning for the caravan but no one really commented the guy about it. Is that where the caravan will start? Is it a good caravan/ should I even bother? I'm going this year for the first time and I'm curious. Thanks

[kronus]

any advice for finding a person I can give money to in exchange for them coming to a place of my choosing and doing some TIG work on body panels?

[mbonanni]

I should be going also J! Im in San Diego though :)

[Cabriolet]

JNasti, I went once. never again. the guys that meet at 8am in morgan hill. they drive like 100mph down 101. wasnt fun for me since i drive speed limit+5. Bimmerfest is self was boring, no organization, wife got bored after 2 hours and we were ready to ditch after 3h.

When is the picnic usually held?
