ratio

Hi all, Just had my diff replaced with a reconditioned one. I drove the car today and there is a low rumbling coming from the rear of the car and I don’t seem to need to change gear as quickly. I suspect I’ve been sent the wrong ratio diff despite specifically asking the supplier if the one I...

Hi guys, I was wondering if anybody has ever gone for higher profile tyres? I've been offered a set of Bridgestones S001s runflats for a steal. I can get 225/40/18 or 225/45/18 for the front, but only 255/40/18 for the back. They're BMW runflats but obviously not the ones recommended for...

I'm trying to liven up my manual e36 328i and I've read that getting a diff with a shorter ratio can make the car a lot quicker. Most suggestions were to swap in a 3.15 from a 325i or m3 however, in Australia, these diffs are hard to come by and are REALLY expensive. However, automatic 6...

Hi All, I've been doing a bit of research regarding my '01 325Ci and I am a bit lost regarding limited slip diffs in the context of drifting. If I read up correctly, helical LSDs are out as they don't lock, they bias the torque to the wheel with more grip. Correct me please if I am wrong on...

Hi guys in desperate need of a diff for my 318i which as a 7524317 3.23 ratio diff which it seems I cant get a hold of unless I want to pay 700+, can I replace the diff with a 7524325 3.91 ratio diff from the same engine car as I see a lot of people upping the diff ratio for shorter gears? Mark

Im struggling to work out the compression Ratio and how it all works! But Im building an M50b30 stroker and turboing it. I had an MLS on it before the M54B30 crank went in, but since its all changing I will need to find the compression Ratio so I can either get forged pistons or a headgasket...

Well, thought Id cracked it with the friction additive. Revs stopped bouncing, smooth gear changes. Happy days...... Todays new problem is while under hard acceleration in 3rd gear, I suddenly lost drive and revs went to the limiter. I let off the gas and drive was restored. Keen to find out...
