I just drove Martin’s 2000 with a Ben ten and his Volvo fi conversion. It’s very strong and the drivability was staggering. U-turn in 2nd gear and floor it at 900 rpm? Not a problem.
Makes me look at my ITB setup.

I could have sworn that someone somewhere was offering a Quaffe LSD in the early 2002 case.
I currently have a e21 3.91 LSD but thinking I’d like the 3.64 better.
ideas?

‘This is what I’m running currently.
Around 150.00$ US each. However having big fattys would be cool.

I'd love a 235/50 or 55/13. I'm currently using Toyo R888 in 225/50/13 and they are a little short. For my wide body 2002 I'd like something bigger. A friend had the same kit on his 2002 and used that big 13 that was last made in a Y352 and the Radial T/A. To me, that size looked better. Was that a 235/60? My car is typical of what rides around own a 888. Mix of street and AutoX.
The Orange one is mine The white and green car is on the same size wheels, 13X8.
The GFA 5503 is new to me. Bought off eBay. This is my first fore into separates. I don’t think using the Denon as a preamp is ideal but it’s what I’m working with at the moment. I’m rebuilding some Polk RTA12B’s at the moment.

I’m a wantabee audiophile. I have to stay sort of in reason.
ebay hunting.
Currently rocking my Denon HT receiver with preamp outputs hooked up to a GFA 5503 amp and Polk Monitor 10’s with RD0194 tweeters used in stereo for music. 5. Ch +atmos for movies.
im rebuilding some Polk RTA 12b’s to replace the 10’s.

82 244 Volvo Turbo. This was a replacement for the cobbled together 242 I had built in college. I wrapped the 242 around an oak tree. The 244 Turbo had a drivability issue that I fixed with a golf tee. It was 1000 bucks. I drove that car for a few years and sold it to a friend. Bought my current 2002 for 1600 bucks.
ported head, schrik 304, wasted spark, S14 crank, forged pistons, 2230cc. Tuning the 45’s is difficult for the throttle tip in. 70% of throttle is in the first 30%.
I would not use 45mm ITB's again. I'd limit it to 40mm. Remember these are not carbs with a venturi in them. A 40mm opening will flow more than almost any M10 cylinder and head could flow.

One of my plans is to remove my trailing arm poly bushings and replace with rubber. In the front I’m going Bavaria front control arms that have rubber bushings in them.
