Not this weekend, I'm doing an apprenticeship for one of the guys who runs the Shadow race team, lots of 70s-80s formula cars. Basically go karts with way too much power

[CarsonE30]

[CarsonE30]

Quick question, will a 3.73 be a direct bolt on to my 318is? Diff started humming and I've been curious to try out a 3.73 lsd

yes. i don't know if you'll like the ratio, and it does add some weight, but it fits.

[kronus]

it's more reasonable than a 4.10, which is probably what you have

if you want a 4.10 small case open that didn't hum, I have one. $free.99 if you unbolt it from my loose subframe.

My old 16x9 et15 required a 3mm spacer, definitely poked more than the front.

What's the wheel/tire setup in your sig?

[jpod999]

These were Rondell Style 57s, 16x9 et15, Yokohama S.Drive 215/40/16. I ran with the aforementioned spacer up front which gave it a bit of poke on my pulled fenders, but didn't run a spacer in the back- to look perfect it would have needed a 3mm spacer out back too.

The story I got when I bought these is that the dude had a friend who worked for Rondell in Germany. The guy I bought the wheels from was told that they were made for Rondell by Borbet and were exactly the same except for a lighter silver finish.

I wanted a set of these ever since I saw the famous copper patina car and sold them to pay for gas/maintenance for my M5. Now that I don't have the M5 I feel like an idiot for selling them!

I sold them to someone from the Bay Area but can't remember who and definitely don't have their number anymore. Has anyone seen them around?
