so far the who wagon rear and my drive shaft working out great i have not lunched it like you did .... yet but i been daily drivein the buggs out of it... right now my only issues is the rear mount i made need a little more reenforcemnt on it but i am going to pull it and make it stronger next week..
but i am going to start pushing it harder because i am going to be addin more power to it.....
was up bro it was good talking with you and your bro the other day . ...we did some measuring last night and the Bmw E30 rear dif will work ... drive shaft shop said once we get it mounted they can make the shaft length and the inner and outer tulips for it to work ... and a solid one piece drive shaft if we want to go that route
not really . me and a friend can have the drive shaft made to be honda front "trans side" and the back mate to a BMW Rear Diff and as for the gear ratio . the E30 318 base carrys the same gear ratio as the wago.
were trying to make an evo killer and around 700and up hp awd. we know were no longer in shallow water were some where heading to the abyss .... we dont know it if will work or not but wont know till we try
2.93 is much too different from 2.53 to work for that application. If you were going RWD only, then it'd be OK. You'd be revving kind of high, but otherwise no trouble. However by mixing the front ratio with the rear ratio with such a large difference, either you'll be overheating and destroying your viscous coupler (if you're using one) or you'll be binding your dirvetrain in a huge way if you're not. You'll be asking the rear wheels to turn at about 65mph when the fronts are going 75mph.
great looking wagon, and thanks for the wiring help on my buddy's integra! still got some bugs to work out on it so im sure you will be hearing from me again, so sorry in advance! haha

You're looking for a 2.53:1 ratio. I don't think any E30 ever came with a ratio even close to that.
I just did a quick search and the closest ratio I found was a 2.93, which wouldn't be too far off would it?
These are some seriously great pics man!
For obvious reasons, I'm interested in how that failure happened.
Oh, and I don't usually say this but... I don't think we can fix that with duct tape!
