Got my car running on the standalone. Still wrapping everything up, but progress is always forward which is good.

The car now has a G250 trans from an E36 and I have a 3.73LSD to go in the car. The diff ratio with the G250 is equivalent roughly to a 4.25LSD with the G240.

Interior is stripped of all sound deadening and unnecessary circuits.

Should be fun

G250 and 3.73 look more like G240 and 4.45  it's even shorter.

G250 and 3.45 will be more like G240 and 4.27, it's what i'm about to do on my E30

I suppose it depends on what gear you are looking at.

The 3.73 with a G250 is somewhere between 4.27 and 4.45.

Either way, it should scoot! On the track I dont even use 5th because the car doesn't have the power to make use of it

Here is a very crummy video of me doing a WOT pull on the freeway. You can somewhat see the engine data from the VEMS display, but I was mostly trying to capture the sound of the open stock throttle body.

Video was from a while ago, and I'm just bumping the thread up because its not coming up in searches and can be helpful for people.
