3.46? Spendy. My car has a 4.1 open, so 3.73 lsd will be going in eventually.

First I gotta do:
Brakes
HeadUnit (maybe sub too)
Suspension

Oh, I totally understand. I'm just saying if you spend some dough on a diff, get a 3.46. They're not that hard to come by. They're found in later model E24's (E28 chassis) with the factory sport package and also in E28/E30 automatic super Etas.

I wish I had one in my M50 car. First gear is pretty much un-usable with my 3.73. I still love it though!

Austin did your little example of 24V powah last night was pretty nice^

[brutus87]

I'm jelly.

Hahaha. You like? I did something similar this evening coming onto McLoughlin ;)

I fucking love this car. I'm really debating just selling my E28.

[brutus87]

Sell the E28, and just wait to get the most you can for it.

The easiest way to get 24 valves is to buy two cars.

Haha, it's all good buddy. I'm putting in my steering rack tomorrow afternoon. I think I literally got all the fluid out of the rack, just from driving. Hahaha.

Your exhaust is pretty raspy though, we need to fix that

I'm with you there. It's got a slight leak at ~3k that I need to take care of. Headers maybe?

[LuckyHenriksen]

I am no exhaust expert, but I think a lot of rasp is caused by an actual tail pipe. If your muffler is right at the back of the car I think it should be less raspy? I forgot how yours is set up lol

^In my experience removing the cat/resonator :D and straight piping exhaust systems either creates a HUGE amount of rasp that wasn't there before or quadruples the amount of rasp the car had previously. When you're under a running raspy car you can hear that the ringing is coming more from the intermediate plumbing rather that the tail section.

So you're saying I should go custom exhaust? Haha ;)
