hmm...RWD with an LSD...sounds like it could make some fun out of a hairpin turn or two. I suppose you'll be just about the only guy here with oversteer issues.

It actually doesn't have much of an oversteer unless you punch it in the turn haha, it also has no power steering. Just more belts to get in the way, lol.

Clean it. refresh the wheels. close the hood propperly. then give us some pics.
Loveeeee for the 80's BMW's. there are a couple on Craigslist right now for parts.
I just can't get enough of the double headlights and little double grillz they had going on back then

I've cleaned it up since then. Those pictures are from the day that I brought it home. Still messing around with the hood though. Oh and Josh, next time you drive by my place and I'm out working on the car feel free to stop by. I could use all the help I could get. Plans for it are to turn it into a track car. It's light enough so.... but for now it's pretty much just a beater. It only has 60,000 thousand miles, on the engine. 263,000 on the body

No junk at all. All weight I could pull was out. Just 2psi higher on the rear tires was the reason.

that'll do it. Personally, though, I prefer 3-wheeling to sliding

Yeah, me too, but Valleyfair has a horrible surface, and does'nt provide alot of grip.

I think there are a few of us who have RWD cars. I probably have more of an oversteer issue with the open diff in my XR than he will with the LSD.
