I HAVE thought about oil starvation, and it's on the list. I'm going to check for the welded/wired/upgraded oil pump nut and oil pan baffle. I'll look into the S54 pickup, too.

Yeah, I felt zero problems with the "deadly"�� E30 rear; I could put the car wherever I wanted and control it up to and even beyond the traction limits without issue. Frankly, I was looser with my bro's e46 (although with the supercharger, your right foot hangs it out at any time ��).

I hit a new snag two-miles from the house. Heard some noise up front, rough idle, then bang. Stock fan clutch fail with full blade deployment �� into the radiator. New radiator and fan delete with electric fan were on the list...now they're at the top.
