Re: Whining Noise

i think you should say screw this **** and just put a 3.42 posi rear out of an s-10 up in it.

Can you tell me exactly what I would need to do this? This is what I want, but know almost nothing about the mod.

well you have two routes.

a. get a rear from an s-10 and it bolts right up in place of what you have.

I don't know if the hubs are the same, i can find out though if this is the route you want to take. s-10 rears are auburn LSD already. only thing you'd need are a set of gears, i suggest 3.42 or 3.73 if they are your daily driver. I have 3.42's and it gives quite a bit of pick up, kristen has 3.73's and that really kicks the car in the a** when she lays into it from when i rode in it, but then again she also has a more mods than i do.

or, you can take your diff out of your rear, spend $500 on an auburn LSD, and another $250 on the gears. and then put those in it.

the s-10 pull is def. the cheaper route to go though.

let me know what you'd prefer and i'll get you more info on it.

Re: Whining Noise

I prefer cheaper. Are you telling me the rear axle on an S-10 is the same as a Camaro, or are you just talking about the guts inside the diff?

Re: Whining Noise

pretty sure the whole axle is.

Re: Whining Noise

3.73 and LSD should would make me happy.

Re: Whining Noise

I'm not positive on this, but I'd say about 95% that the whole housing wouldn't transfer. Correct me if I'm wrong, but S10s are a leaf spring rear suspension, which would not have coil spring perches, not to mention torque arm, panhard bar, or control arm mounting brackets.

Re: Whining Noise

just checked, s10s are a gm 10 bolt, but yes, you still need your axle. just go get the diff out of one for $80 and pick up a set of 3.73s

Re: Whining Noise

3.73 LSD on an M5 should make for an interesting ride.

Re: Whining Noise

Either way, since I don't think I'll have much to do for the next couple of days, I'll tear down one of my spare 10 bolts and do a little write up with pics on replacing the crush sleeve.

Re: Whining Noise

Yeah, I would appreciate that. I'm not going to be able to do the LSD right now. First things first... fix the car.

couple that with 221 N/A RWHP lol

Re: Whining Noise

How does one go about getting an easy 221?

[Firebirdkid96]

Re: Whining Noise

either find a factory freak,

or, with your 2000, throw on some pacesetters, hi flo cat, catback exhaust a k&n fipk or whisper lid. that should put you at around 220 crank from the numbers ive seen here..., a 1le driveshaft will get more of that to the wheels....

Re: Whining Noise

Currently, I have a K&N, hi flo cat and magnaflow catback. Wonder what that's doing for me.

[Firebirdkid96]

Re: Whining Noise

just the K&N filter or the actual FIPK?

you already have tubular manifolds so headers wont be much of an upgrade.... you're prolly looking at right around 210 - 215 wheels with your current setup on a whim....
