That's what I said after he "borrowed" an "E" from from my assortment of letters from a 1965 Oldsmobile. On a related note, I'm looking for an "O" (front or rear) from a 1965 Oldsmobile. There's 4 "O"s on the car, I have two, but they don't match.

Pretty lame picture, but did some tooling around in this last night.
It developed an idle surge that was 500-3k Rpm. Need to figure that out
It is pretty great at blasting through snow banks!
The tires are awesome in snow, but now I really do need an LSD or welded diff!

I have one if you need it. Only used to bolt up.

Not quite. It's a grassy strip between the two buildings where all the snow gets piled.

Everyone tell Ben to not worry about his surging idle and take the E to an ice rallycross this weekend.

I'll take video.

Or he can come to my house and start taking parts off my extra ETA e30. I replaced the intake AFM IAC etc, as I had a surging idle before.

The biggest problem is the fact that it's not just the idle that surges. It's the driving as well. I drove it around and never touched the gas. That isn't optimal for ice racing. I do have a welded diff for it now.....
I do need to do the rear main seal badly, it has started to leak quite a lot.
I don't think this weekend will happen.

lame. lame. lame. lame...

hadnt seen this since you got 4x4 status, looks awesome! can't think of a car I'd want more for winter driving, besides maybe an IX setup the same way.

Thanks! It is most certainly amusing.
I have heard a lot of people mention the IX, but I don't know how well the front CV's would handle what I have done to it. I could be wrong though!

straight6pwr

nah, theres some guy who has a 1000hp IX and all he did was reinforce the front diff and everything else handles the power.

GunMetalGrey

It''s not the (lack of) power, it's the angle the CV's would be at.
