Local 3.73 LSD?

[Bishop]

Lookin to maybe go back to my original gearing, but I want it to be an LSD this time around. I have a 4.10 LSD with low miles out of an M car w/ fresh fluid in it (less than 5k I'd guess, or around that). Feeler for now, maybe someone has one?

(David, is this right? I don't quite remember)

Ya, 3.73 LSD is what you want. I don't have one but I'm sure someone does.

Or- find a rarer 3.91 LSD from idk which model and split the difference between new and old.

[blefevre]

I have one, just not sure if I want to go to 4.10 or not. Heh.

[Bishop]

Well if it's got an ok amount of miles and won't need a ton of work, lemme know. I'd say you could ride in the car this Friday and see what the 4.10 is like.

[blefevre]

Yeah, mine is in my car of course, so I would assume it doesn't need work, lol.

[Bishop]

Is it an LSD?

[blefevre]

Yep

[Bishop]

Ooo la la.... Lemme know ;)

The 4.10 is fun, but now I'm debating going back to the original gearing... Nothing against the 4.10 really, in all honesty. The short gears I think help the car accelerate. I dunno my reason really, just kinda wanna change things up and see what happens.

[blefevre]

Yeah I will think about it. I will look for some youtube videos or something to give me an idea of the RPM differences throughout all the gears.

[Bishop]

Since I had the 3.73 non lsd I can tell you, the 4.10 does raise the cruising RPM say in 5th gear, and it's a noticeably different to drive (but not earth shattering). Hard to describe... I can say it does what you'd expect the gearing change to do lol...

[blefevre]

Yeah, I would assume it would drive a lot like my Ti, which has very short gears. I just haven't decided if I am okay with running my car at higher rpms.

[Bishop]

Yeah I hear ya. I didn't notice any change in MPG for my driving style, and it only raised the RPM to like, 3300-ish at 65mph, which was only like a 100 or 200 rpm increase

[Bishop]

Anyone besides Blefevre?

[ZombiE30]

Pull one from the pick and pull, i'd say.

Hey, did we ever figure out who that extra grey eta belonged to? The hat guy that dissappeared?

[Bishop]

Hmmmm, I never gave thought to junkyard..... Hardly any e30s around here though.

Nah, I think he came and ate with us, but him and like 2 friends sat away from everyone else and left early.
