Expect whatever I can't swap over to be on sale soon.

Hmm. I'll work up a list of parts. What's the diff? Looking for a 4.10lsd

im pretty sure hes keeping that

[decay]

Yeah, probably moving my entire driveline over to the Z3; only way to get the ratios I want and keep the Torsen.

Don't worry, I'll post to nor-cal FS first, FB second, CL third.

anyone wanna help me drink beer and drop an m50 head on my black car this Saturday?

[wilholl]

Can I see what happens when you drop an M50 head on your car?
Will you take pics of the carnage?

[kronus]

if redoing the top end doesn't fix the CEL i'm going to launch the head through the windshield and light it on fire. there will be video.

Wait, what trans/diff do you have?

Getrag 240, it was an M42 car. 4.10 Torsen out of a Z3 automatic.

I think I can be in for that.

Wouldn't recommend putting that behind the M52 although it wouldn't be clocked at an angle. I'd keep the ZF and find a 3.15 Torsen (they did come on Z3s after all).

Or you could always give me the ZF.

[kronus]

I will have a 3.25 that is theoretically clutch type available shortly.

[decay]

I want a much shorter final drive than the car has now, and the only other way there would be a 3.73 behind the ZF; and the Torsens never got that final drive so I'd be sending it out to a shop to get the new ring/pinion in.

What's the concern about using the 240? Guys have been running M5X swaps and M42 turbos on them for years. I don't have crazy power goals for this car, lightness and bolt-ons will work fine.

[kronus]

what driveshaft will you use

what driveshaft will you use

Front from the E30, rear from the Z3, unless they wind up being different lengths...
