I went through about 4 in mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dillz Three pedals are better then two..

Seems that everyone started with an eseries. I'm hoping to start and end with one.That car is pretty insane! I'm not planning on making that much power but it should be able to handle it. I can see this engine getting out of hand and me running out of money. LolI actually bought mine mid way through but still love the shape, they are also like 400kg lighter the a B+ series so that helps make them quick.

Too many eseries owners go down the turbo route and spend all their money on the motor.Mentioned above was diff/box weakness, the box will be almost the same as the BA box (some better things, some worse things) and your diff will have 28 spline axles which will be strong enough for plenty of power, I know 2 cars that have done 9's with almost standard rear ends, and I've done 10's with a near standard rear end.

Don't the lower models have just a standard rubbish one? Not that XR diffs are expensive or hard to come by. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
needfordspeed Member 166 Member For: 21y 4m 1d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 25/05/12 06:58 AM Share Posted 25/05/12 06:58 AM XR ones were 3.45 ratio, and most were LSD. EB2-EL all had 28 spline axles, the weak diffs I'm talking about are the 25 spline EA ones.The LSD's are usually rubbish throughout all of them, by next to stock I meant just a minispool thrown in.
