Jul. 14, 2003 - Tightening up the rear

It just keeps getting better.
 
3.38 limited slip differential from a '98 M3 automatic has been installed for about three weeks now, replacing my OEM 3.15, and I'm a happy happy camper.
 
The 3.38 differential is an incredible upgrade; the car pulls like crazy now, feels more punchy down low than a 3.2 M3, and is just awesome on the freeway.  It was SO awesome on the freeway it cost me an 81 in an 65 zone ticket from a pretty cool CHP officer on Interstate 15.  He was cool because he didn't cite me for no front tag, incorrect address on the registration (I moved months ago) or still having my Florida driver's license. But even if you add in the $130 ticket, it's still a good bang for the buck. 
 
Revs are up at highway speed, but I knew that was coming. I'm loving it. Only downside is that my top speed dropped from 160+ to about 148 with my current tire size and redline. No biggie, that's as fast as I need to go on the street, and faster than even Vipers can go on the straights at Willow Springs Raceway.
