Re: My 3yr+ E21 Build
OK, now, get a spare diff.
Understeer is when you hit the wall with the front of the car. Oversteer is when you hit the wall with the rear of the car.
Horsepower is how fast you hit the wall. Torque is how far you take the wall with you.

Hah, that's not a bad backup plan but I think realistically I need to start working on a more long-term viable solution.

when you break something, obviously, it is time for upgrade...

Not always, but when you brake something within a few hours of driving... you're probably on to something

Re: My 3yr+ E21 Build
Interesting you mention that, I've just ordered 2x 5"x14" barrel mufflers (straight through 2" pipe) to replace the single 2.5" muffler that's on there currently; since it's way too loud. Hopefully going to twin exhaust will not only look better but will still flow well being dual 2" straight through, but will also be quieter due to effectively a doubling of muffler capacity over what I am replacing.

Uwbuurman - it sounds very nice but it's almost deafening.. hard to convey how loud it is with just the internet as the medium. I'll try and remember to do a before, after, and human voice recording with the gain locked on my Zoom H1 microphone to give you an idea comparitively.

One of my friends has been harassing me to enter a hill climb (Legend of the Lakes held in Mt Gambier)
I think I want to get as a minimum a half cage and harness sorted out before I even think about entering something like that!
