Both?

I plan on eventually doing both, I guess it's more of a question of which I should do first.

Depends, is it auto?

NO!

Thanks for the input guys. Any one else?

How about, instead of the Dinan throttle body, you get a lightweight fly wheel, assuming you don't have one already?

A fly wheel is something that I thought about, but you also have to consider putting in a new clutch. When you add those up you are looking at 800.00 or more.

What do you think about a new LSD from diffs on line?

That would give you that extra grip feeling as you haul ass, but isn't it the same price? At least for my E46...insainly expensive!

So far I have 6 for GO and 3 for SHOW...Anyone else?

ah....hell no, those are even MORE expensive: base price of $2,295

The Diffs are expensive, if you choose a good ratio though it will make a big difference in the car, I would think that just going LSD is not going to be a huge improvement in the car and for just as much money you can do some other GO factors to an e36.

UMMM...I didn't think to look at the e46, sorry Dough

So back to the original topic...ahem SHOW OR GO?

**doughboyea** · 04-24-2006, 05:34 PM

How about yourself? Would you rather look flashy (with OEM balls) or move like a bat out of hell? (not that it doesn't do both right now)

Honestly, I'm leaning towards show right now, not because I like it better but because I would like to purchase the parts and do it all at one time.

The performance enhancements I can do on my own time when I get some money together, but the body work will have to be done professionally...hence why I'm thinking show before go.

However I'm seriously considering all of your opinions as well...so you guys could easily change my mind.

Show.

Not really much power you'll gain out of those bolt ons on a 92 325i. Paitn your mirrors!

Storamin · 04-26-2006, 08:54 AM

if you want a LSD, get an m3 diff.

Well my car has an open 3.15 now, so if I did get one I would want at least a 3:23 from the 96+ m3's

I think I might pick up m3 replicas from rooz if he can still get them.

Sorry for the double post.
