hahaha

e30 front suspension blow, e36 front suspension > e30 front e30 rear suspension = z3 rear = 318ti rear = fun

its not the best looking e36 in many peoples book, but it is under 14ft long, rwd, and 19xxlbs

Stereo sucks, but that's easy to fix. Blower motor isn't currently working, but the motor itself, control box, and fuse all tested out OK. Probably just the relay, or you could just hardwire it.

No power steering, no A/C. Stops hard, shifter feels like shit. (Bushings are good, pin that holds the linkage together is worn, easy fix.)

Get that other thread going so i can stop being confused, dammit.

Lol, prob wouldn't work out well for me. I have been thinking of just buying an old ugly ass eg coupe 5 speed and junk yard turbo'ing it again. My old white one still got like high 30's on the higway since it was fmu'd and ran off the stock map when not in boost.

If I lived with in 20-30 minutes of where I worked/ go to school. I would be 100% over it. I really do like you mx6. But going through so much gas is killing me since I am having to cut back hours. Next year it will be bad. I will have to do an unpaid co-op with some company of my choice... So want to get what I can done now and be ready for next year. Haven't had to take any loans out yet.

Yeah i didn't like having to cut mine up to make it into a coil over set up. lol.

I honestly like both. Just like the e30 look wise a little better. If oppurtunity came up I would trade the shitvic for a properly set up 3 series of the same value in a heart beat.

People report about 32-34 mpg on the highway when not throwing a CEL like mine is right now.

On the plus side, it'll break a lot less than a turbo Honda?

Disregard logic, acquire inline 5 pwnage: 1994 Audi 90S, 5spd, 4dr, sunroof

**b17what** · #66 08-25-2011, 01:53 PM

yeah, no.

My civic only broke once over 15k miles off boost due to using stock mounts...

**BEEF SUPREME** · #67 08-25-2011, 01:56 PM

The MX6 broke once. When the factory original clutch slave cylinder bit the dust after 180k miles.

And then it wouldn't start or something. Silly ground wires!

**Bobzilla** · #69 08-25-2011, 02:39 PM

aCCENT wouldn't start once..... stupid 190k mile crank sensor. What a piece of crap.

**b17what** · #70 08-25-2011, 02:39 PM

I might have to insist on a highway pull once mine is boosted ben. lol

Oh it started... just wouldn't run with the lights on.

I blame the PO for that one. That shit was stupid.

You go'n' get raped.

MX6 is faster than the meeotter even when it's only running 8psi. At 22psi, it's not even a "race."

**b17what** · #73 08-25-2011, 02:50 PM

eh, haven gotten down in like 4 years. lol. That and want to see your shit get down.

**BEEF SUPREME** · #74 08-25-2011, 03:04 PM

I think James and Scott are the only ones that have really seen it move at all.

Scott said that 10psi was about all he wanted to experience before taking out a healthy life insurance policy.

James got a hearty chuckle out of seeing it catch full traction in 1st gear, only to spin a block or two in 2nd.

I'm about to see how long the stock original clutch lasts at 22psi. I honestly think it'll be fiiiiiiiiine.

**Cobra** · #75 08-25-2011, 03:50 PM

With the stupidity of that car at 10psi, I'm curious as to how downright retarded mine will be at that level.

**b17what** · #76 08-25-2011, 04:08 PM

What does it run as far as ems? Stock sensors?

What's an ems? That sounds complicated.

Stock unopened ECU. Stock e'er'thang. It was running weird when scott was in it, had some boost leak issues and the car would allow it to hit 10psi without hitting fuel cut.

Now it's fuel cutting at 8psi, but it's faster than it was before at 10psi.

Haven't decided which direction i'll be going in terms of management. I have a rare old "ZombieSS 440" ecu which lets me run 440cc injectors on it and removes the cut (i may just run 460s in it, have a set of both laying around).

Or i have a full HKS PFC FCon setup complete with the rare as fuck MX6 GT specific chip. Includes EVC, GCC, IPM, FCD, blah blah blah. Just missing the patch harness at the moment, but i can hardwire it if i need to.

I'll have to do one or the other if i want to run 20-22psi like i'm planning

It has teh powa @10lbs tho......lol.

While talking about shitboxes making pulls, by that time count me in for a roll with teh tortoise.....no boost, just a bunch of random fittings going into the intake......
